A NEW PATH

Well it has been a few days since I posted anything on the blog. A lot of changes in my life have occurred such as retirement. My sense of adventure has not changed. I am currently in training and preparations for the "Camino de Santiago"

For those who don't know what it is, it is an 800 km ( about 500 mile) pilgrimage that millions of people have done for over 1000 years. The path I have chosen is the Frances Route.

I will start September 1, 2012 in St Jean Pied de Port in southern France and will walk across northern Spain. I expect it to take about 35 days to complete.

This route is highlighted in the movie "The Way" starring Martin Sheen.

I hope to try and update this blog as I can. I will not have any cell phone or computer while I'm gone, but on occaisions, will have computer access along the way in a few spots.

This is a new and exciting experience for me. I hope to experience their culture on a daily basis at the grass roots.

wish me luck or as we say

Buen Camino
