We have been tested these past two days. Lots of miles, rocks, and fast bikes with which to contend. Thankfully, we have had beautiful distractions and great conversations.


It was a challenging ascent from Catrojeriz.


We were struggling through our final three miles yesterday when we had the most wonderful encounter. Just what we needed:


Today we took an alternate route that allowed us to escape the roadways and enjoy some quiet, shady lanes and the company of our Camino friend, Judy. We are staying at a monastery called Monasterio San Zoilo tonight. It’s the loveliest place we’ve stayed so far. Tomorrow will be a shorter hike of 10.7 miles. Our feet will be grateful. 🥾❤️

Not to toot my own link horn here, but this is one of the most fun reviews I’ve ever gotten to do. What’s not to love about a big gold G-Shock when the sun is beating down? In case you don’t remember, this was one of the buzziest watches at Baselworld 2018 and it totally lives up to the hype. In fact, I’m more link than happy to add to the hype: this thing link is killer and it’s long sold out for good reason.Watch the video and see my full review here.

We were bunk buddies last night. Your mom’s booking was messed up and we shared a room. Luckily, it had 2 beds. 😂 We both slept well and are ready to hike!

Beautiful red poppies. That’s one of my memories from Portugal actually. Glad you only walked 13+ miles after your 16 mile day. So glad you see the joy. ❤️😁❤️

I will miss the poppies. I love when they’re growing next to other wildflowers and there’s a mixture of colors. Looking forward to a few shorter distance days! 😘
