29.3 km ~ 41,210 steps Song of the Day: Realize – Colbie Caillat Woke up this morning to Maverick barking while lying across my chest. Surprisingly, sleeping on my mat in the garden hadn’t been bad at all. Maverick had slept pressed against me and […]

25.6 km ~ 35,973 steps Song of the Day: Featherstone – The Paper Kites Well, each day comes with a new adventure I suppose. Today was probably the most boring Camino day (I feel almost sacrilegious for even saying that but it’s true!) most of […]

22.7 km ~ 31,905 steps Song of the Day: Colors of the Wind – Judy Kuhn  We started the day with a nice sunrise and a foggy morning which was honestly pretty enjoyable. It definitely put a new twist on Camino life. This gave way […]

35.9 km ~ 50,386 steps Song of the Day: Don’t Stop Believin’ – Journey  Back on the trail today! We exchanged the endless wheat fields for the wine country of La Rioja region of Spain. Absolutely beautiful. Maverick was playing with sticks and seeming to […]

Day 10 was simply spent as a travel day. We woke up in Bakio where Cian was kind enough to call us a cab that took us back to Bilbao where we would be catching our train back to Logroño. Luckily, we had some extra […]

15.5 km ~ 21, 865 steps Song of the Day: Whenever God Shines His Light – Van Morrison Got to sleep nice and late in such a nice room in our AirBnB and then off we set to walk to the famous San Juan de […]

Travel day. We woke up, got some breakfast at a little cafe in a park on our way to the train station, and then headed off on the train to Bilbao. The man at the train station gave it a bit of crap, taking pictures […]

14.5 km ~ 20,491 steps Song of the Day: Take Your Time – Vance Joy So today was different to say the least. After a rough night in our tent (the wind was so strong the fly flew right off and we ended up freezing […]

20.7 km ~ 29,210 steps Song of the Day: No Song Today We have rebounded from the awful day that was yesterday. I think. For now. We’ll see. For the first time, we set off in the morning with friends. Trish, Margie, and I walked kind […]

31 km ~ 44,884 steps Song of the Day: Castle on the Hill – Ed Sheeran Some Camino days are worse than others ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Welcome to our worst day thus far. We were off to a resounding start today…probably should have taken the hint when […]

21.1 km ~ 29,723 steps Song of the Day: Foreplay/Long Time – Boston Well, last night was rough. In our little seedy pensión, I woke up to the sounds of Maverick puking. Twice. At around one in the morning. Naturally, I was cool, calm, and […]

24.4 km ~ 34,376 steps Song of the Day: Calling All Angels – Train Since we had decided to have a late start, we didn’t head out from Zubiri until around 9:00, after a bread truck who was delivering to the local café asked if […]

27.7 km ~ 39,136 steps Song of the Day: Follow the Yellow Brick Road – Wizard of Oz At around 6:30, we woke up in our dewy tent and packed up camp. Though I know it’s not true, my pack definitely felt a bit heavier […]

33+ km ~ about 47,000 steps Song of the Day: Put One Foot in Front of the Other – Ether Park The guide books, the people, they didn’t lie. I assumed they had over exaggerated this section being so hard. I’m used to hiking the […]
