My First Piece of Furniture

June 11, 2013

To say I am excited would be an understatement.  I have been slowly learning to work with wood over the last six months and I have just gone and done what is the equivalent of jumping into the deep end.  I enrolled and just started a class in Connecticut to build my dining room table.  … More My First Piece of Furniture

The Camino Begins Again

November 11, 2012

So early on in the first week I met a German named Peter. He had done the Camino several times and said something that stuck with me all during the trip. He told me that the Camino doesn't begin until I get home. The idea is that we really have to take home all the … More The Camino Begins Again

Santiago de Compestella – We Made It!

November 9, 2012

We all started off today together. Everybody wanting to walk into Santiago as a group. We gathered up at the first cafe we ran across and took this group picture. Somebody pointed out there were twelve us us. Nothing lost on the significance there! There was lots of talk of how we felt, what we … More Santiago de Compestella – We Made It!

Arca – Excitement in the Air

November 8, 2012

So if you know the ole song “I’m So Excited” by the Pointer Sisters, you can hear what is going through my head as I write this. I am absolutely like a kid on the morning before Christmas or a performer before a big show. I am soooooo excited! I have only one more day … More Arca – Excitement in the Air

Arzua – Almost There

November 7, 2012

Ok, it is now official. We are almost there. Just a short two days away and another 44 km to go. Heck, we could drive there in less than an hour if we wanted. So everybody is talking about it. Everybody is asking “what’s next?” Some are going to walk to Finnisterre, some are going … More Arzua – Almost There

Pallas de Rei – Where Are You From?

November 6, 2012

So the most asked question on the Camino, by far, is “where are you from?” It is a great way to start a conversation and it is amazing how many places people are from out here walking. One surprise to me was for me to discover how many Koreans are out here. Last night we … More Pallas de Rei – Where Are You From?

Portomarin – Are We Ever Really Solo?

November 5, 2012

Today was another start in the rain and it was my very first day hiking solo. Well, that is if you can call hiking on the Camino by yourself solo. I took off thinking I would eventually run into the tribe, but I never saw them along the way. It is kind of ironic that … More Portomarin – Are We Ever Really Solo?

Sarria – I Walk Slowly

November 4, 2012

So anybody that has tried to keep up with me at an airport knows I don't walk all that slowly. I usually hurry up and wait. I find that a strange thing is happening to me on the Camino. I am walking slower and slower. It seems like I am losing that part of me … More Sarria – I Walk Slowly

Triacastela – Wash and Dry

November 3, 2012

So today was a repeat of yesterday, but it was windier. We woke up and it was cold and rainy outside. We mulled around and had a slow breakfast in the hopes it would let up. Well it finally let up a bit and I made the mistake of saying it looked like it had … More Triacastela – Wash and Dry

O’Cebreiro – Strong Finish

November 2, 2012

So today is supposed to be one of the toughest days on the Camino. It starts out pretty flat but has a magnificently steep finish on the last 7km. For the most part it was a very pleasant day. We had rain on and off but it was mild and I had my umbrella. We … More O’Cebreiro – Strong Finish
