Camino de Santiago Day Seven: Today, we walked from Carrion de los Condes to Calzadia de la Cueza. 10.8 miles. It was a long, straight shadeless slog. And, my blisters refilled with fluid. Darn. #buencamino

We had a singalong with the Augustinian Sisters tonight at our albergue in Carrion, went to Mass, and then they blessed us and gave us a star to guide us to Santiago. It was very moving. #buencamino

Camino de Santiago Day Six: It's official. My foot modeling career is over. These sucker's don't hurt, but they are growing, so they're getting the pin later today.

Camino de Santiago Day Six: Woke up in Villarmentero de Campos and walked six miles to Carrion de los Condes. We are trying to have experiences along the way, so we wanted to stay with the singing Augustinian Sisters in Carrion, hence the short day.

Camino de Santiago Day 5: Just had a beautiful moment after the communal meal at our albergue when an older Italian gentleman who spoke no language but his own stood up and sang us a song. #blessed #buencamino

Camino de Santiago Day Five: Boadilla del Camino to Villarmentero de Campos (9.75 miles). Uneventful day of walking, but a lovely church in Villarmentero. caminodesantiagofrances.com/lo/iglesia-d...

Camino de Santiago Day Four: It was supposed to rain all day, but it didn't! Big thunder, lightning, and hail overnight, but cool, windy, and overcast for our 12 mile walk from Castrojeriz to Boadilla del Camino. Beautiful Meseta views. Blessed day. #buencamino

Camino de Santiago Day Three: Stayed in San Bol last night. It is literally in the middle of nowhere and completely delightful. The original plan was to walk to San Anton to stay there, but it's closed on weekends, so we continued on to Castrojeriz. Beautiful walk today: almost 9 miles. #buencamino

Camino de Santiago Day Two: Today, we walked from Rabe de las Calzadas to San Bol, about 9 miles. It was near 90 degrees, so it took a little more out of us. Still, it was a beautiful day.

Camino de Santiago Day 1: This morning, we left Burgos around 6:30am. We have planned four fairly short days to get our trail legs in order, so today was 7.9 miles to Rabe de las Calzadas. This is the view from our room at the pilgrim hostel.

We're back where we left off in 2023: right by the Cathedral in Burgos, Spain. Tomorrow, we begin again. #buencamino

I've been retired from teaching for three years. Last night I had a dream that I showed up for semester exams without having copies of the test.

Not sure how this iris got in my garden. Never seen it before, but she's a beauty.

I’ve apparently exhausted all the conclave/new pope videos on TikTok and now the algorithm is serving me up clips of this Spanish priest who does raves

Here are my Pope picks in no particular order: Aveline (France), Tolentino (Portugal), Prevost (US), Tagle (Philippines), Zuppi (Italy). God is laughing at me. And I realized later that all of them are between 59 and 69, so maybe I could have dated some of them in college.
