Decided on another early start this morning, on the road by 6:45, which was a good thing as the conditions were excellent for a walk in the valley today. The first part of the walk was through vineyards that are being harvested. It made for a little harrowing experience though. It was still some what …

Under Double Digit Days!
After today’s 22 km I have less than 10 days of walking left until I get to Santiago, according to the schedule I am following. With the grace of God hopefully all goes according to plan. Everything went very smoothly today. I went through a fairly large urban centre, Ponferrada, in the early part of …
The Good, the Bad, and the Outstanding
Today was arguably the best day yet, even given how it started out. Woke up to a lower shin/ankle that feels and looks 90% normal, thanx for the prayers. However, the early morning also came with some very upsetting news, including the death of Ronnie Elijah-Brown. Ronnie was a year younger than my son Matthew …
Beginning of the Climb
Today begins the last stage of the Camino as we begin to leave the Castille region and enter Galicia. Although the walk followed along a roadway for a good part of the day, it was through a lot of rolling hills with trees and even some animals. The distance covered wasn’t long, 20ish kms, it …
Talking About Jonas
Today was a very pleasant day as the landscape has changed back to rolling hills in anticipation of the mountains ahead in the next number of days. The first 60% of my walk was spent in quiet solitude and prayer, enjoying the sights and sounds of the early morning (except for about 30 minutes speaking …

God is certainly Great!! Thanx so much for all your prayers!! Woke up this morning to find the swelling and pain in my lower right shin/ankle considerably reduced. When I got up to walk on it, it felt very strong. After a light breakfast of a boiled egg, banana and a glass of Coke I …
The
Today was one of those “blah” kinda of days on the Camino. The weather during my walk was a bit of drizzle and cloud cover. The walk was predominantly through the industrial outskirts of Leon. Upon entering the urban centre I encountered the following sight Interestingly enough I can’t recall seeing a McDonalds anywhere yet! …
A Day of Blessings?
Decided to have a later than normal to the start of my day. Got up at 6 and was on the trail by 7. Although I didn’t get lost or sidetracked, I did have a couple of interesting experiences today. As I was leaving town a Korean woman was walking back into the town saying …
Passed The Halfway Mark
Today is a milestone day as I have officially passed the midway point of the Camino. In terms of days I have less to complete than already walked. And in terms of mileage I only have about 350 kms left, of approximately 780. The morning started of quite chilly with a brisk wind, luckily predominantly …
Walking Through Saskatchewan
Drove through the Prairies, and after today I feel like I know what it would be like walking through them! Other than a really nice sunrise the day’s walk didn’t do much for me. Occasionally you pass a rest stop and they are named. Thought this one was neat. Starting to get a little annoyed …
