Camino de Santiago

Post by balzaccom »

I leave tomorrow morning for Spain, to hike a version of this with my daughter who currently lives in Switzerland. If you are interested in following our progress, I'll going to try to post it all on our website blog. Here's the first entry: https://www.backpackthesierra.com/post/ ... e-santiago

I should be back just in time to teach my first class in the middle of August...if all goes according to plan. I'd love to hear comments and suggestions...

Two days to go: after 273km, we've only got 47 to go on the Camino Primitivo de Santiago with my daughter. And a birthday on the way!
