April 10, 2017 Today was such an easy day (physically.) What a treat after a couple really tough days in this desert heat. Last night, I managed to escape the snoring party, aka the guys whose snoring seemed to vibrate the room. I switched beds into a different room and it allowed for a peaceful… Continue reading Day 18: Fromista to Carrion de Los Condes (20 km/12.42 miles)

Day 17: Castrojeriz to Fromista (25 km/15.5mi)
April 9, 2017 Today was a longer day, not terrible though. We started with a pretty steep hill but it wasn't long and then the rest of the day was mostly flat. The terrain of the hikes is getting much easier BUT we are in the desert so it's not a scenic and very hot.… Continue reading Day 17: Castrojeriz to Fromista (25 km/15.5mi)
Day 16: Hornillos del Camino to Castrojeriz (20 km/12.42 miles)
April 8, 2017 Today was so much better emotionally and physically. I began the day slowly because my Achilles' tendon on my right foot was been killing me. But with some Advil and water it usually feels better after an hour of hiking. I spent the first half of the day talking to myself--- literally… Continue reading Day 16: Hornillos del Camino to Castrojeriz (20 km/12.42 miles)
Day 15: Burgos to Hornillos del Camino (20.8 km/ 12.9 miles)
April 7, 2017 For the first time I wrote this post in real time... wasn't having to trace back what happened or what I did. Was so refreshing! I am so lonely today. Clearly the cosmos, or the Camino if you will, really wants me to be alone. I passed only 3 pilgrims today and… Continue reading Day 15: Burgos to Hornillos del Camino (20.8 km/ 12.9 miles)
Day 14: DAY OFF IN BURGOS!
April 6, 2017 This was a much needed break from hiking. My feet and my soul needed a break. Stephanie was ending her hike in Burgos, so I was so honored to be able to spend a day off with her ❤ We took advantage of the day off and visited the Cathedral, took us… Continue reading Day 14: DAY OFF IN BURGOS!
Day 13: San Juan de Ortega to BURGOS!!! (26.7 km/ 16 miles)
April 5, 2017 This was a BRUTAL day, my feet were killing me despite Stephanie's wonderful massage the night before. Thankfully we would stop after 3.6km for a DELICIOUS breakfast so that was a nice break. It was a bit rainy and very overcast. I hiked majority of the day with Stephanie and Michel. Their… Continue reading Day 13: San Juan de Ortega to BURGOS!!! (26.7 km/ 16 miles)
Day 12: Belorado to San Juan de Ortega (24.1 km/ 14.4 miles)
April 4, 2017 This day was tough for me. I woke up in Belorado sweating, with tears on my face because I had a nightmare. I was still crying when I woke up. It felt so real, I had to constantly remind myself that it was just a dream. This has happened many times on… Continue reading Day 12: Belorado to San Juan de Ortega (24.1 km/ 14.4 miles)
Day 11: Santo Domingo to Belorado (22.9 km/ 14.2 miles)
April 3, 2017 This day would become one of my favorites! I feel like I say that a lot but this day was special. The hike was amazing, the weather was perfect. The company was even better. This was Dariush's last day of hiking (got a job back home and had to leave) so we… Continue reading Day 11: Santo Domingo to Belorado (22.9 km/ 14.2 miles)
Day 10: Najera to Santo Domingo (20.9 km/ 13 miles)
April 2, 2017 Last night, after the band/celebration, we quickly were reminded that it was the weekend, aka there were people screaming in the streets till 3 am. Basically we didn't get much sleep at ALL. But we had an easy hike ahead of us so it wasn't the end of the world. (Some clouds… Continue reading Day 10: Najera to Santo Domingo (20.9 km/ 13 miles)
Day 9: Navarette to Najera ( 17 km/ 10.5 miles)
April 1, 2017 The scenery for this day was not my favorite, instead of vast green fields we were met with red clay vineyards and minimal views. There were still some mountains/hills but not as much. I was used to being spoiled with views all day. It was still beautiful but just not my personal… Continue reading Day 9: Navarette to Najera ( 17 km/ 10.5 miles)
