Welcome Friends

Welcome to our preparation blog!

We have decided to take five weeks this spring to walk the ancient pilgrimage route, the Camino de Santiago. We would love your wisdom, encouragement, good wishes, and blessings as we prepare mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually for this time.

We will periodically add notes and lists and questions and things to this site. Perhaps you will do the same. Here's hoping!

Barcelona

After 38 hours of travel we have made it to Spain, and to Barcelona, and to our first cafe con leche at a sidewalk bar. We have a few hours here before moving by train - our last mode of transport before our feet take over - to Pamplona.

The flight over was fine, but there was no sleeping to be had. So Diane and I are both a bit dizzy and easily distracted by the swirl of the city. After figuring out the menu del dia and getting directions to a supermercado for food to take on the train with us, we stumbled, almost literally, into this internet cafe to do a quick update.

It is very much time to start walking, and although tired from the travel it will be refreshing and settling to finally get on the way.

Buenos tardes!
