Camino, Joy

The Joy of Purgatory….

…OK it’s really not a Joy. I have had to start doing exercises, which I hate with a passion, to overcome some Camino setbacks. The worst has been Plantar Fasciitis. It’s foot pain caused by overweight – read backpack and needs to be addressed. Purgatory #1 – exercise. I hate it – them. But I […]

Camino #10

Camino #6

Lots happening today!!  First, I made contact with a travel agent. The agent we have always used is just doing Tahiti now. (I know, it’s a tough life!) However, he referred me to a travel agent (female) in NB, who had planned to do a Camino in 2020, but had to cancel because of Covid.
