I really didn't know what to write about today. So, I thought I'd take this opportunity to share one of my journal entries from my silent…
No, that is not a secret code of some sort. Then again, in a way, it kinda is. They are, actually, ways I identify in…
In case you missed yesterday's blog post, I wrapped it up by sharing a conversation I had over lunch the day before. I had asked…
Today was a gorgeous walk through the Galician mountains. My original thought was simply to post a whole bunch of pictures without any text because it felt like words would just get in the way of the ineffable beauty. Then…
How much fun today was! And how different it was than all of the previous days – in so many ways. For starters, I rode a horse up the mountain instead of walking. That was great for any number of…

I’m going to back up a couple of days to tell you about our walk from San Bol to Castrojeriz. It is considered part of the Meseta but I thought it was lovely. Maybe I haven’t hit the boring part,…
