Alisa...you´d love this...







We have picked the best time of year so far...besides the heat wave we are experiencing....for the wild flowers to be out!! IT´s amazing!!



This guys was so DRUNK...that trail to the right is the Camino... had to walk by him...I think he almost fell off that thing!

There were so many cool small churches along the trail!

Professionals only...


Do NOT try this at home....

I have come to realize that this is the hardest thing I have ever done before...but the most amazing thing too!! There are many I think that would love to do what we are doing...but many I think that couldn´t do it!! Some days I´ve had I too think and wonder if I¨ll be able to finish it!

NOw that days have past....I know that I will make it and it´ll only be that MUCH MORE rewarding!! I know that when I return home that I can conquer anything...it´s impowering what I´ve been able to do the past few weeks...

P.S....don´t ever under estimate the power of a shower and a bed to sleep in..

Getting our credintials...



In Pamplona we arrived and checked in with the church to get our Pilgim credintails...since it was the first day of 7 of the RUnning of the Bulls the town was closed to pilgrim stays...so we later went pass town to a church for the night...


this photo is of me getting my credintail at the church...

Day 13...



This is the attic Albergue we stayed in. You were not allowed to get up before 6am, and we were woken up in the morning to LOUD Italian Opera....it gave you chills it was so amazing!



Yesterday we decieded to stay at the bottom of the 8km hill (which recommended in the books to be a 3 hour hike) till the morning!! I could NOT have done it..I was already done!!

We´ve been walking between 24-35km a day...to give you an idea what that is...it´s 40km for a marathon...26miles.

Today we reached a new part of Spain...the wetter area...yet I think we are having a heat wave!!

My camera has started to stop working....not so sure what is wrong with it!!...IT´s a LOT of weight to carry around for something that is not working!!!

I have blisters and sore feet...but finally after 14 days I´m getting used to the pain that it´s really just part of everyday life!....

It´s really funny to see the new pilgrims that have arrived on the trail after us...they are on day 3-4 and they are experiencing the same pain we did a few weeks ago...plus their skin is pale...and I know that will end up in a disaster if they don´t have sunscreen! We had to take our friend Lorenzo to the hospital yesterday before we left the town cause his sunburn had turned into a 3degree burn!! Soooo GROSSS!!



Lorenzo's Arm was finally starting to heal!

Day 12...CapitaĆ­n´s Log...


I´ve decieded to leave my 3 year old son in the next town...his name is Pedrito. He is my backpack and it´´s killing me!!

This day I was soooo hit by the sun I thought I was gonna pass out...so Mary tbought it would be a good idea to give me the voice recorder and record my thoughts as I was hallucinating from the sun!!

On our way....photo from airport in SNA

I seriously can´t understand how a computer can take soooo longto upload a photo to this blog!! I´m in a small town called......humm...dunno!...but anyways..there is cheap wine and free internet and it´s past bedtime...If I cannnn up load them I will...
