Day 5

Hello everyone!! Today we went from Belorado (or El Dorado as Dad would say) to Villafranca. It was only 12km which took us approximately 3.5 hours. The weather was very windy and overcast, and just as we got into Villafranca the rain started to pour. Just in time for...

Day 4

Good evening (or morning or afternoon wherever you are)! Today my Dad and I completed another 15km and went from Granon to Belorado. It was fairly overcast and windy, but still warm so it almost made for the perfect walking conditions!  We started the morning...

Day 3

Hello! Today we had a short and sweet walk, 7km from Santo Domingo to Granon. We intentionally stopped here because there is a hostel run by the church that has amazing reviews. Although we had a short walk, I can feel my first blister coming on. I’ve also since...

Day 2

Hola! Today (Thursday) we made our way from Azofra to Santo Domingo. We originally planned to stop in Ciruena, but we arrived much faster than anticipated so we kept going.  We did a total of 15km, and still got into Santo Domingo around 1pm.  I’m not...

Easter Monday + Tuesday

Hello everyone! Monday was our last day in Lourdes, and I really did not want to leave. Lourdes is abounding with peace, and so many graces flow from there. It’s a place like no other. If you ever can visit, please do. You won’t regret it. We made our way from Lourdes...

Easter Sunday

Hallelujah, Christ is risen! Happy Easter, dear friends! We had the most marvellous day, and hope you did too! Easter Mass was magnificent. Very joyful and full of graces. The weather also remained steady, meaning no rain, praise God! We felt blessed to have such good...

Holy Saturday

We had a relaxing and solemn Saturday in Lourdes. The weather was quite lovely, yet windy. We went to Tenebrae again in the morning, and later went to see the jail house where Saint Bernadette Soubirous lived with her family, totalling 6 people. Due to extreme poverty...

Good Friday

Hello! As I write this, I am a bit behind in posting. Whoops! We have been so busy with the celebrations of Holy Week, and late nights + very early mornings, that there is not often a good time to sit and write. For the Easter Triduum, there has been a late Mass (or...

Maundy Thursday In Lourdes

Greeting from Lourdes, France. I hope everyone is well.  It’s been a long and wonderful day here.  We started at 8:30 am with a Tenebrae service at the Rosary Basilica.  Really enjoyed it.  Then off for a tour of the wider city of Lourdes on...
