Our Meseta Anniversary

June 6, 2016

Eric and I spent our 14th wedding anniversary in the sleepy, almost eerily deserted town of Bercianos del Real Camino, deep in the heart of the Meseta. … More Our Meseta Anniversary

Tarta de Santiago: The (Delicious) Cake of Santiago

March 6, 2016

A Santiago cake? Yes, please. It was delicious. Simple and nutty, not too sweet. And when I came home, I had to figure out how to make it. … More Tarta de Santiago: The (Delicious) Cake of Santiago

Did you know it's National Tattoo Day? I didn't either, but still, here it is. And I don't think I've ever talked about my tattoo here. - Here in Seattle, tattoos are practically a requirement for entry. And yet, whenever the subject came up, I’d shrug. There was nothing I wanted to commit to forever. Surely I would regret that quote/image/memory when I was 90. But then I walked a thousand miles in a single spring. It was the biggest, hardest thing I’ve ever planned and completed, and I wanted to commit it to being part of me forever. - - Why a shell? The scallop shell is the iconic symbol of the Camino de Santiago, and scallops are native to the coasts of Galicia. I’m told “scallop shell” in French is Coquille Saint Jacques, and in German scallops are called Jakobsmuscheln (James mussels). - - There was a scallop shell engraved on the medallion I received in the Cathedral of Le Puy on the first morning of our walk. And 79 days later, when we arrived in Finisterre, the beach was covered with shells that I collected by the handful. (#swipeleft) After three months of judiciously leaving every memento behind (added pack weight!), I binged on shells and sea glass at the “end of the world.” And when I came home, I took one of those specific shells to a tattoo artist, and she drew it for me. - - (Shout out to @ashleyjune.art at @522tattoo for her creativity and realism in drawing. It’s my shell, but her vision that I get to wear every day for…forever.) - - - #nationaltattooday #tattoo #caminodesantiago #scallopshell #CoquilleSaintJacques #caminotattoo #wayofstjames #travelmemories #walkingtotheendoftheworld #womenonadventures #womenwhotravel #womenwhoexplore #finisterre #buencamino #pilgrimage #pilgrim #stjames #peregrina #chemindesantjaques #compostelle #inked #jakobsweg #keepwalking

Otter Falls: the perfect destination for a sunny summer hike. But what's that tiny dot on the right, halfway up the slab? Why, it's Eric and Chris, who clearly hadn't done enough climbing just to get here. - - #pnwwonderland #pnwhiking #waterfall #weekendhike #sundayhike #summerday #rockclimbing #mypnwlife #mountainsarecalling #keepclimbing #keepwalking #otterfalls #northbend #cascademountains

So many of my Instagram friends are walking various parts of the Camino right now (@nadine_walks @otcamino @calledtorise @ben_camino), and seeing their pics every day makes me happy and just a little bit jealous. I know that this isn't my year for a long walk in a faraway place. I've been exploring the world in different ways. But still, my heart tugs me toward my pack and walking poles. So it was an extra special treat to open my inbox this morning and find this photo I'd never seen before, taken by my Dutch friend Saskia, who I met on my 2017 walk on the Camino Frances. There aren't many pics of me actually walking the Camino, so this one feels special. - - So here's my #Tuesdaymotivation: I was here once, and I will be here again. And in the meantime, I'll live vicariously through all of you. Thank you! - - - #CaminodeSantiago #CaminoFrancecs #throwback #womenwhoexplore #womenwhohike #Spain #summer #hiketheworld #hikingadventures #travel #pilgrimage #jakobsweg #longdistancewalking #caminolife #keepwalking #theway #elcaminopeople #wayofstjames #compostelle #trekking #vivecamino #buencamino
