Tonight, Sunday, is my last night in the Polska nation! What a great experience, full of blessings, the past 4+ days have been. Warsaw, Krakow and Wadowice are unique and interesting/exciting cities. Lots to do and each with its own charm/beauty, especially the first two. It helped that the weather was very good in Warsaw …

Mountains to the Sea
Not sure why, but I have been having difficulties with the blog site. I can’t seem to upload any visuals so this is just text and covers a couple of days. Sunday – Well, the morning view from my mountain retreat of last night was well worth the “blessings “ of last night’s journey to …
A Crazy Day
After yesterday, today was so different in many ways! Firstly, I stayed in a very nice hotel right off from the Cathedral in Santiago. A couple of English guys I had met on day 2 of the walk had what’s apped me earlier in the week that they had a room that had 3 beds, …
#GODISGREAT
Thirty-three days, 780 kms, 200+ hamlets/villages/towns/cities, countless piles of crap stepped in, much beer and wine, thousands of prayers and the loving grace of God later, and I made it!! He definitely has a sense of humour. I always envisioned walking into the square in front of the Cathedral in the mid-morning with the sun …
Next to Last Day
Not a lot to write about today as about half the walk was spent in the dark. Most of that time was spent with an older couple of pilgrims. sister and brother from around Buffalo. It was nice to have the company while trying to navigate the path at that time, really easy to get …
Couple Days to Go
Another day began with a very brief blessing of water. It was only a very light mist and last maybe 30 minutes. After that the temperature hovered around 13 degrees with mostly overcast skies, a little sun in the early afternoon (maybe I can get a job broadcasting the weather when I get home). The …
Walking in the Rain
Today began with the blessing of rain which, although not heavy, lasted for about 3 hours. It actually was pleasant. No real strong wind, just constant precipitation which ended with a mix of sun and clouds. As a result there really wasn’t much to see during the walk, just keep your head down and put …
Another Day On The Trail
It seems as if things on the adventure are becoming common as I near the end. Waking up in the morning is as much a result of my alarm going off as it is hearing others’ alarms or them moving around. Today’s walk began around 6:45 in the dark of the morning. I’ve come to …
One Hand
AaAmazingly, if God willing and things go according to plan, I can count on one hand the number of days of walking I have left to complete the Camino! Sarria is the starting point for many pilgrims as it is about 112 kms from Santiago. A person needs to have walked the last 100 kms …
Adapting Midstride
Today’s journey certainly was an adventure!! What started out as a 13 km plan ended up being a 33 km walk in the ….. mountains and hills of Castilla/Galicia. Started out at about 6:45 with the idea of walking 13 kms, as the last 8 were a 600+ meter climb to just over 1300 meters, …
