We have read, wondered and discussed pilgrimages of the faithful for years. While helping escort students through Spain on the 2013 spring break bus tour of the sites of Spain, we got to know our guide, Deborah. We learned she and her husband also work for a walking tour company out of Canada and one of the tours they offer is this walking tour of the ''The Way of St. James' - (is this a sign??? )
We decided to look into the timing, routes and other particulars once we got home. In short, we have been planning this trip since 2013 March. We have chosen to walk the 15 night walk from Porto Portugal to Santiago de Compestela Spain this May/June and this page is where we will identify our observations and adventures as we prepare for and complete our Camino.
We have been walking in 'training walks' though out Johnson county. We think we have worked out the shoes, socks, clothes and backpacks to use. We have borrowed walking sticks, ended up with some blisters and sore feet and think we are close to being ready for our adventure.
Full Disclosure: We are not the writers that our daughter Amy is - this is just our humble attempt to 'keep you up to date' and to answer the many questions we have been asked.
Now our attempt to put our thoughts & adventures out to the 'universe'.
Buen Camino...
Rick & Jo
