JIM
We arrive in Madrid Tuesday night. From there we work our way (by bus) to Roncesvalles. On Thursday or Friday - depending upon local travel connections - we should take our first steps on the El Camino pilgrimage. Our destination is some 480 miles away - Santiago de Campostela.
Lots of apprehension here about the ability to walk those miles over 30 some days. But, we figure by just showing up there is, at least, a fighting chance. Our attitude is to travel light and stay open to whatever it is the trail provides. We'll take it slow and be happy little pilgrims.
Whatever distance we make we'll take it and we'll call it a success.
Like the man said (was it Yogi Berra?): "Nothing happens until something happens".
This is so exciting Pamee and Papa Jim! I am so happy to follow along via my armchair! LOL. Post photos when you have time. Have fun and be safe, watch out for rolling stones.
ReplyDeleteIsn't this amazing! Who would have thought.
ReplyDeleteAmazing yes, but I am not surprised that you are doing this. What a special way to spend some time together. I will keep you in my thoughts as you go on the journey and I will make sure to check this blog often. I am so glad that you gave me the link!
DeleteThis is so cool. If y'all don't mind I want to add a reference to your blog on my own blog. This is a trip if a life time and one y'all will never forget! Thank you both for taking us along through y'all's eyes and feet!
