Day 1: Le Puy to Montbonnet
~10 miles, mostly uphill (although fairly easy overall) I’m not even sure where to begin. Today was a multitude of days all contained within about 10 miles of waking.

San Sebastian, Spain
I spent about a month in Spain during the summer of 2012. During that time I walked a portion of the Camino de Santiago and the days were hot and dry! The only day I saw rain was the one day I passed through San Sebastian before I began my trek. It was a…

Most of the wildlife on the Camino was of the small sort that you had to look for…but life is everywhere if you keep your eyes open!

Why no more photos of The Camino?!
Sorry I have not posted any new photos from The Camino for a while now, but unfortunately the program I was using to sort and edit photos seems to not want to work anymore (it must be tired too!) so I will have to wait until I return to the U.S. next week. So stay…
