This is definitely not all food that I’ve eaten. Just food that I’ve seen and thought looked yummy.
Camino Reflections
Over the past couple of days, I’ve been reflecting on my first 12 days on The Camino. There have been extremely difficult days, and easier days that are still difficult at times. Crossing The Pyrenees was a challenge, but a challenge that I really did love. Everything was thrown at us – heavy rain, fog, […]

Our reward for getting to the top was to see the iconic wrought iron pilgrims looking out over the valley. Perfect photo opportunity. The descent down the mountain […]
