Still Walking….


Still walking.  We’ve put in almost 200 miles, so about 300 more to go!


We are still having a great time, with different types of views, foods, and people every day.  Today we put in another 18 miles, starting out in open fields then transitioning up a mountain into a beautiful wooded area.  Our home tonight is another quaint town, Ages.

On the trail today, we were happy to run into a family from Holland that we haven’t seen for quite a few days.  They are an older couple (in their 80’s!) and special needs son that are plugging along, taking taxis to the next town when they need.  Since we were wondering how or if they were still fairing on the Camino, it was good to see them.  However, it was not good to see them in our hostel room tonight. We know from experience that all three of them snore!  It is quite the concert they put on. I’ll push the earplugs in a little farther tonight!

We are enjoying walking with the same people for a few hours each day.  Daniel (Munich), Sophie (Australia), Tully (Vermont) and more.  We often see them in the evenings too and have enjoyed some great dinner conversations.  It’s pretty unique-an experience we will appreciate long term.  

It’s late and our roommates are already in bed!  Buen Camino!

These pictures are AMAZING! Thanks also for the map - I was wondering about that.
