Some Photos

Hello again! My sleep-deprived brain was struggling, so I have made a second post with the photos from March 26 + 27 in Lourdes! Enjoy!

We Made It!

Hello, Bienvenue! We have arrived in Lourdes, France, and have survived the first full day! We got here yesterday afternoon and were so exhausted. We had just enough energy to get some groceries but that was about it. After 4 planes, 1 bus, 1 train, and 27.5 hours of...

We’re Back!

Hello everyone, welcome back to our Camino blog! In case you haven’t heard, my Dad and I are returning to Europe to continue the Camino de Santiago along the French Way, picking up where we left off. If you’re new here, let me fill you in. My Dad and I got...

Back Home

Missing the Camino. It’s been a few days back home and I’m having a somewhat tough time adjusting. Unfortunately, but with good reason, our trip was cut short but it has not ended. The Camino courses through my veins now and things have changed. Even when one stops...

Day 25 – Final Day in Spain

Hello dear friends. Today was our last full day in Spain. It is still so hard to believe that soon we will be back on Canadian soil and tending to our lives back home. There are still so many emotions filled with this decision. I am sad to not be walking the Camino...

Day 24 – The Last Walk

Hello! What a day it’s been. Today, we had our final walk of the first part of our Camino journey. We walked a simple 4km from our hotel to Nájera, where we got transportation to Haro, to then take a train to Bilbao. We prayed together, conversed, and also walked in...

Day 23 – So Relaxing

Hello! What a day it’s been. My Dad and I set off from Ventosa to Najera, about 8km I believe. It was really the perfect walk – my dad loved it because of the lack of hills! Haha. Today we walked together the entire time, and chatted lots. Although I must admit,...

Day 22 – Tough Decisions

Hi everyone, me again, with a bit of a late post. Thank you for your patience! Yesterday was a bit of a whirlwind and a very late night for myself, so I never got around to writing a post – my apologies.  We spent the morning walking to Ventosa, a small...

Day 21 – 3 Weeks of Travel

It’s hard to believe we have been away from home for 3 weeks now. It feels like a lifetime! We’ve seen and done so much in only 3 weeks and I’m glad I could experience it with my Dad.  We were so blessed to have an amazing communal dinner at our hostel last...

Day 20 – Dad’s Turn

Spain has hills. I mean lots of hills. Piles and piles of hills. Mounds and mounds of hills. While absolutely picturesque on a calendar these hills take on a different meaning when you meet them face to face.  The hills I’m used to disappear with a slight...
