About Me

Hi! I am Judy who lives in a community north of Victoria, B.C. in Western Canada. To celebrate my 70th birthday in the fall of 2015, my husband and I walked our first, most inspirational Camino. We are excited at the prospect of returning to Spain in the spring of 2019 to walk again.

Planning a New Journey in 2019
Update: Arriving at a final decision on what Camino to walk and even whether Dave would come at all due to a health issue was a complicated process. He is fine now (thank heavens!) so we are both going to … Continue reading

P.S. There IS life after the Camino!
There actually is “life after the Camino!” It isn’t easy, though, because there are no yellow arrows pointing the way. The Camino is a “no brainer” in that respect. We never had to figure out where we were going; we … Continue reading

Day 50 (October 29, 2015) – 8.7 km., Villamaior to Santiago de Compostela
On the day of our arrival in Santiago de Compostela, we got a message from Tania that made us laugh. She said waiting for us to reach Santiago was “like waiting for a couple of babies to be born!” We … Continue reading

Day 49 (October 28, 2015) – 11.4 km., O Pedrouzo to Villamaior
This is another one of those days that can be called a “prelude to tomorrow.” Tomorrow we will walk to Santiago de Compostela. Between here (Villamaior) and Santiago, there is a long slog up to Monte Gozo before coming down … Continue reading

Day 48 (October 27, 2015) – 22.1 km., Ribadiso to O Pedrouzo
It took just a few words written on one garbage can that started me humming a tune that stayed with me all day: “Imagine there’s no Heaven…” So what was written on the next garbage can? “It’s easy if you … Continue reading

Day 47 (October 26, 2015) – 10.8 km., Melide to Ribadiso
Oh no! This is a bad time to get writer’s block! It could be our focus is too much on our arrival in Santiago de Compostela in three days instead of experiencing the present moment. The journey to this point … Continue reading

Day 46 (October 25, 2015) – 15 km., Palas de Rei to Melide
Spain has so many fields of sunflowers, especially in Navarre and Castille y Leon. Tonight in Melide we learned why. Spaniards simply love to eat sunflower seeds. We went into a bar for their “menu del dia.” A group of … Continue reading

Day 45 (October 24, 2015) – 30.4 km., Mercadoiro to Palas de Rei
We are in Palas de Rei, just 68 km away from Santiago! We didn’t intend to walk this far today, but we made the mistake of not staying in Ventas de Naron and then had no choice but to keep … Continue reading

Day 44 (October 23, 2015) – 16.8 km., Sarria to Mercadoiro
We expected to see a pilgrim “rush hour” leaving Sarria this morning and were surprised that it was not busy at all. Sarria is just a little further away from Santiago de Compostela than the required 100 km a pilgrim … Continue reading
