Brisk when we started this morning, but we warmed up after the first hill! We are walking through lots of vineyards again today as we start out. Some workers below are out trimming the grapes. They’re not using any tools, just breaking of the part ... Read more >

We left Logrono early as we have around 18 miles to go today and of course most of it is uphill! How does that work...seems like the days are mostly uphill. At some point we surely will start down. Seriously, every day is up and down hills--as you would ... Read more >

No Internet Thursday night in Los Arcos. EEKS! Perhaps a blessing in disguise? Visited this cathedral in Los Arcos. We'd been told it looks like Vatican City. Very ornate.

Still wringing the rain out of my laptop as I write tonight. What a crazy, fun day. The trail over the Pyrenees is 15.5 miles—14 of those uphill! It’s harder than climbing out of the Grand Canyon. Whew. Much greener though.
