Tuesday June 18, 2019 Astorga --> Foncebadón 25.9 km 39,057 Steps After finding our secret nun albergue with cheap, private rooms and still slightly longing to see the chocolate museum, we debated taking a rest day in Astorga. As nice as it was, we came to the conclusion that we'd rather keep moving, even if … Continue reading Camino Day 28 →

Monday June 17, 2019 Hospital de Órbigo --> Astorga 16.3 km 31,554 Steps Walking today for me was a major day of growth in detachment. As we left the albergue in the morning I left in a box available to pilgrims some things I had been carrying with me along the way that I had … Continue reading Camino Day 27 →

Sunday June 16, 2019 Villar de Mazarife --> Hospital de Órbigo 15.2 km 30,702 Steps After our fun night of wine drinking the night before in the albergue yard, my bladder woke me up at 6am and I was up to an unwanted early start. We had some toast with tea at the albergue restaurant … Continue reading Camino Day 26 →

Saturday June 15, 2019 León --> Villar de Mazarife 21.5 km 36,664 Steps This morning we woke up after an incredible night of sleep and felt ready for what was ahead. Something about being so at peace and still amongst the busy-ness of a big city like León made me feel like I was finally … Continue reading Camino Day 25 →

Friday June 14, 2019 Mansilla de las Mulas --> León 17.9 km 38,622 Steps Most albergues on the Camino were not air-conditioned. It would cool off enough at night that you could open the windows and with the ceiling fans on circulating the air, it would be a comfortable temperature. I will admit, I'm someone … Continue reading Camino Day 24 →

Thursday June 13, 2019 El Burgo Ranero --> Mansilla de las Mulas 19.2 km 35,273 Steps Having a room for just the three of us meant we weren't as likely to be woken up by someone else in the morning. We all overslept our alarms a bit and got a late start to our morning … Continue reading Camino Day 23 →

Wednesday June 12, 2019 Sahagún --> El Burgo Ranero 18.1 km 28,581 Steps We all woke up this morning with a slow start. Between all the different bands and fireworks, drinking, and partying that went on outside our window last night, we didn't get much sleep. At least not Katie and I. We laid in … Continue reading Camino Day 22 →

Tuesday June 11, 2019 Ledigos --> Sahagún 16.1 km 34,981 Steps We all woke up this morning with little wine hangovers from last night, but the camaraderie of the evening carried into the morning and we were off to a joyful start with dancing, laughter, and "Good Day". In the town of Terradillos de los … Continue reading Camino Day 21 →

Monday June 10, 2019 Carrión de los Condes --> Ledigos 23.3 km 39,202 Steps Today was another epitome day of the Meseta. I woke up asking myself "Do I have to?", and it didn't help that the majority of our day of walking was a 17km stretch of absolutely nothing between towns. We started out … Continue reading Camino Day 20 →

Sunday June 9, 2019 Frómista --> Carrión de los Condes 18.7 km 33,434 Steps Today's walking was a whole lot of boring.My Camino journal We started off the morning with some pastries from the local cafe, played "Good Day", and then walked straight for 18 km on a gravel path along the side of a … Continue reading Camino Day 19 →
