Daughter A and I flew to Biarritz, where we met Daughter N to walk most of the Camino Vasco del Interior and Camino Bayona from Irun to Burgos – planning a bit more than 200 km over 12 days. Since I don’t regularly watch TV or movies, airplane entertainment is novel. A special movie (really…
Now having my passport back in hand, in the nick of time, I am free to travel to India. But first a stop in Nepal, for a workshop. (This post-retirement employment gets really tedious at times. Can you guess that I have mixed feelings?) The plane arrived late in Hong Kong so we missed the…
In my last blog post, I was in Brazil with no luggage. Did any of you readers wonder whether I had even returned? OK, so most of my readers are related to me and knew where I was. That is a interesting but disconcerting thing about internet acquaintances from far away – they can disappear…

This was a very picturesque walk. Six of us set out together. The first part winds along through villages, houses with vegetable plots and fruit trees, rushing stream, little ups and downs. Then up over a hill we found some ruins that maybe my resourceful brother can identify – several separate towers with no walls…
We had a tough day – my longest yet, this year, at about 28 km. It was interesting, having some of almost everything – steep climbs, steep descents, asphalt road, dirt tracks, river beds, pine forests, orchards, and a huge limestone quarry. The only thing missing was a bar. Now we are installed in a…
I walked today with the 6 women – somewhat spread out but keeping an eye out for each other. The one in front took a wrong turn and disappeared near the end. However, thanks to tracks on maps.me, she found her way back and into WhatsApp contact. This region has red clay in abundance, and…
