Link to the old/original blog post. After the Via Ferrata – we were both pretty tired and sore, and we kept saying we would take an easy day to recover…but then there was just too much to see and do! Every day we said, “tomorrow, tomorrow we will take it easy” but we never did. …

Act my age? Never. Feel my age? Sometimes.(Part 1)
Link to the original/old blog post. It has been a wonderful, busy, tiring, exhilarating, thrilling, exhausting week. So much has happened since my last post I can’t possibly do it justice, but I can try! So the day after my super funtastic day in Revelstoke, I drove through Golden to the Radium Hot springs in…
A Lovely Older Couple, Some Perspective, and Van Coffee on the Balcony
Here’s a link to the original post on my old blog: Original Post When I first arrived at Harrison Hot Springs, I was feeling pretty punchy from a long day of driving but I was clinging to the fantasy of staying at the resort and soaking in the springs. It didn’t disappoint! First I was…
Super FUNtastic day!
Wow, today was the most fun I’ve had in a while. It started out a little meh because most of the main road in Revelstoke National Park is still closed due to snow. I drove up until the road was blocked and they had a big turnaround post. Some people were parking and then walking…
Chuckanut, Chilliwack…Is today Tuesday?
Here’s a link to the original post on my old blog: Original Post If you count my last day of work (Friday 6/10/22) as my first road trip day, then this is 6 am on day 5 of my soon-to-be-epic road trip to Alaska in Rosie. Have you met Rosie? She’s my 2017 Nissan NV…
“Camino” day 14: last non-travel day in Spain, no walking today
I lazed around this morning for an embarrassing amount of time. Then I went and explored Comillas, I was especially excited about the Gaudi building. I love the insanity of Gaudi, his name is where gaudy comes from 🤣, and his major works clearly explain the connection. But, it’s why I love his stuff…it is…
Camino Day 13: at the risk of being redundant, another LOVELY day
Part 1: I am currently mid-walk enjoying a nice break on a park bench, listening to the bells on the flock of sheep grazing nearby. Today’s walk so far: A nice walk down through Cobreces and time to snap a few pictures of the beautiful historic buildings. Then, after about a mile, I came to…
Camino Day 12: a nice little walk in the countryside
I set out late this morning (9am) with a spring in my step. I was actually looking forward to the walk and hoping it would, possibly, be relatively pain free. And it was! I have definitely found the solution to the problem. Well, 2 solutions? One is to keep the pack off my low back….
Camino Day 11: a perfectly lovely lazy day
So, I have a day of rest today but not because I needed it. Basically, I pre-planned some of the trip and it included a 2 night stay at a hotel here in Santillana. My recent changes meant that I arrived in town a day early, stayed last night in the convent, and now have…
Camino Day 10 part 2: a great day!
I had a very nice day. I arrived in Santillana and I had only experienced mild discomfort for the day. The hike was a mix of scenic and not so scenic, but my body felt good. I do think I might have figured out one of the main sources of pain. As I have always…
