27.2 km ~ 38,339 steps Song of the Day: We’re Going Home – Vance Joy Well…after all that, it’s over. Actually over. I don’t think it’ll set in for a little while, but honestly right now I’m okay with it being over. These past few […]

39.3 km ~ 55,390 steps Song of the Day: Wherever You Will Go – The Calling Today, I woke up and wanted to cry just thinking of another 30+km day. My body ached. I don’t think I walked at all today…I simply hobbled. Should have […]

39.3 km ~ 55,430 steps Song of the Day: Sink – Noah Kahan We had sun today! Since I haven’t been accustomed to seeing the sun lately, I forgot about that thing called sunscreen. I think my face is a bit burnt now. Ah well, […]

27.0 km ~ 38,018 steps Song of the Day: Pon de Replay – Rihanna I have determined that this part of the country has only one weather setting with varying degrees of intensity and this is mist. But, hey, on the bright side it’s better […]

Song of the Day: Like Gold – Vance Joy “You’re crazy” “It’s going to be very difficult” “You shouldn’t do it” “You can’t bring your dog” “He’s not allowed” “You’ve got balls of steel” “There’s no way you could go that long with a dog” […]

22.7 km ~ 32,080 steps Song of the Day: I’m Gonna Be (500 miles) – The Proclaimers Today we took our last very late start. While we missed the heavy rain of the morning, the mist and light, soaking rain prevailed for almost our entire […]

23.5 km ~ 33,235 steps Song of the Day: Lost – Coldplay Today we faced another crowded day, but made some great friends from it. Arzúa is the town where pilgrims who had been walking the Del Norte route join in. Just outside the town, […]

19.2 km ~ 27,145 steps Song of the Day: Sleep on the Floor – The Lumineers Another late start today provided us with mostly clear walking again. As you can see, if you know the French Route, Maverick and I are taking our sweet time […]

19.1 km ~ 26,989 steps Song of the Day: Come Down – Noah Kahan As I’m trying to figure out a new good time to leave in the morning to avoid as much of the crowds as I can, today I tried a late start […]

29.0 km ~ 40,907 steps Song of the Day: Little Boy – Vance Joy I’m trying very hard to be positive and happy and whatnot, but today was hard. The weather matched my mood. It misted all day. I lost one of my favorite pairs […]

20.6 km ~ 29,113 steps Song of the Day: Only Human – George Ezra Today was a big day, an exciting day, but also a surprisingly sad day. We crossed the 100km marker, meaning we’ve walked over 700km so far on our trek across Spain. […]

28.3 km ~ 39,926 steps Song of the Day: Live and Die – The Avett Brothers What a beautiful day today. We couldn’t have asked for more perfect weather, and also great scenery. Galicia truly is a beautiful part of the country; half the time […]

34.5 km ~ 48,494 steps Song of the Day: Wild Things – Alessia Cara Another day in the mountains? What did I do to deserve such greatness? This morning we woke to a chill in the valley so strong Maverick and I could see our […]
