UPDATE ON MY KNEE It's been over two months since I completed the CVDLP and I have been sitting home resting and doing absolutely nothing, which is what the doctor has recommended for me. As it turned out the pain in my knee was worse than I thought. I saw a orthopedic surgeon two days …

Mombuey to Puebla de Sanabria (15.67 miles / 25.23 k) Today was going to be my short day and a day of rest, and it thankfully turned out that way. The day seemed to start out well when Michael came back to the alberque before seven and said that he found a bar open down …

Santiago de Compestela I just had to add this day to my blog as it is part of a good ending to my trek. I went to bed around midnight and slept until nine this morning. I guess I really need the sleep and rest. It isn't until you stop something that you realize how …

Ourense to Oseira (23 miles / 37 k) Today was another long day as this stage was only about thirteen to fourteen miles to Cea. I got there by 1:30 PM and it seemed to early to stop, and I still had a lot of energy. Tomorrow's stage from Cea to Laxe had two routes, …

Vilar de Barrio to Ourense (18.74 miles / 30.17 K) Today was suppose to be a short day and it turned out a bit longer than I expected. The guide notes the distance between Vilar de Barrio as a little over thirteen miles, but the mileage that I note in my blogs are usually the …
