Thursday, June 2, Day 11 on the Camino
Today we trekked 14.34 miles to the village of Belorado, population 2,000. It was a pleasant walk with a total elevation gain of about 1,400'.

Friday, May 27, Day 5 on the Camino
We started the Camino a bit late this morning as we were out late last night and everyone was having a difficult time starting after such a nice stay. There were other pilgrims walking by as we left the apartment. There were many new faces as Pamplona is the starting point of my pilgrims that …
Thursday, May 26, Day 4 on the Camino
Today was another day, or Zero Day, in Pamplona. Our apartment was in such a nice location and very reasonable and not much more than a hostel, especially split four ways. We met a young girl named Sam that was trekking the Camino as a college graduation present and she joined us for the two …
