Walking in Circles
I was reading a post the other day, from my Camino buddy-in-blogging, Beth. As I read I realized how nice it was to hear her voice. I knew she wasn't out walking in France or in Spain, but that wasn't why I opened up the post. I just kind of wanted ...

And first up: how to plan for a walk on ...
In the Footsteps of Pilgrims; an Overview of the Camino de San Salvador
Quien va a Santiago y no a San Salvador, sirve al criado y deja al Senor. He who goes to Santiago and not to San Salvador, honors the servant and forsakes the Lord. I saw these words painted onto the wall of the albergue in La Robla. It was the end of my first day walking the Camino de San ...
