I finally made it out to this corner of the world. I always wanted to come here but when I told people that it probably would rain and be around 20 degrees Celsius I never found someone that wanted to join me. This time I was driving alone, so there was nobody to stop me. I knew it would rain and …

A journey that took me along the northern coast of Spain up to Santiago de Compostela and then to Fisterra. One step at the time, I walked 1000 kilometers until I got to the end of the world. A journey within the spanish landscape, history and culture. But also a journey within myself... I had traveled before, but from that trip I brought much more than pretty pictures. I brought back important lessons of life!

Por fin llegamos a Santiago, destino de todo peregrino del santo. Hoy dia se hacen las etapas muy rapidamente, pero historicamente para llegar hasta aqui habian personas que tardaban meses, segun de donde vinieran y la situación del momento.

Part 1 So you thought I had forgotten you? Not likely. I still have a month left in Spain and many more stories to tell from the past few days. I woke the morning after the night before (5 pilgrims!) for a day of re-grouping. No more walking, no more pilgrim logistics. I was actually staying put …

Another wonderful journey on the Camino de Santiago that took me, this time, from Porto to Santiago de Compostela and then to Muxia. Approximatly 340 km of walk, simplicity, beautiful scenery and friendship. (More pics to come)

Ed and I traveled with another couple for 5 days and then joined a Globus tour of Spain. We saw a lot and really enjoyed learning more history and seeing this beautiful country.
