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!

Nice Day for a Walk



Today we tried out our new small (35 litre) backpacks and Allison's new Leki trecking poles (mine are on order) for the first time with a 2 hour walk up to and along the Kettle Valley Railway, and home again. Breaking in our hiking shoes, getting used to climbing hills again (there will be lots of ups and downs in Spain), and getting creaky knee joints moving. It was a gloriously sunshiny day - felt more like the end of March than mid January. We're in training!
