Spend 4 Minutes on the Camino Frances
May 19, 2016
What is it like to walk from Saint Jean Pied de Port to Santiago de Compostela? I just found a video that sums it up and edits it down to just 4 minutes. It looks like they walked about the same time last year that we did, and so everything here is so familiar I … More Spend 4 Minutes on the Camino Frances
She Walking So Fast (Camino Playlist)
May 6, 2016
I’ve been neglecting the Camino Playlist recently. So I asked Eric, who is more musically driven than I am, anyway, to tell me about the songs that provided the soundtrack to his Camino. (Just because we went together doesn’t mean that we had the same experience…) Without even thinking, he pointed me to Sylvan Esso’s … More She Walking So Fast (Camino Playlist)
What a Wonderful World (Camino Playlist)
February 22, 2016
I spent last week on vacation, the first that Eric and I have taken since we got back from our Camino adventure eight months ago. Where did we go? To a place full of hiking trails, of course! The Sunshine Coast Trail is a 180-kilometer through-hiking trail in British Columbia, about seventy kilometers north of … More What a Wonderful World (Camino Playlist)

Sunny Days (Camino Playlist)
December 9, 2015
Seattle has been soggy and wet for the past few weeks, with record rainfalls (and for Seattle, that’s saying a lot). As I sit inside, safe and dry, and watch the puddles spread across the whole street, and the grass turn into swamps, I’m thinking a lot about how life as a pilgrim meant being … More Sunny Days (Camino Playlist)
Camino Playlist: The Marching Song
November 20, 2015
Okay, don’t blame me for this new addition to the Camino Playlist. This one was all Eric’s fault. And once it starts, it will get stuck in your head for HOURS. However, when I was slogging through the French mud, in the middle of a downpour that wouldn’t end, I learned that making up our own dirtier … More Camino Playlist: The Marching Song
Camino Playlist: My Theme Song
November 13, 2015
So last week I introduced you to the Camino’s official anthem. Today I want to add my own personal anthem to the playlist. Because if you’re going to walk 1600 kilometers with your husband (who is also your best friend and generally favorite person, even on the bad days), there’s no way that this doesn’t … More Camino Playlist: My Theme Song
The Camino Theme Song
November 6, 2015
Did you know that the Camino de Santiago has a theme song? We were ten days into our trip, staying in a former monastery in Conques and sharing dinner with about fifty pilgrims from all over the world (the most we ever saw together in France) when the gite volunteers pulled out an easel, a flip … More The Camino Theme Song
