Karin's Camino: December 2011
http://ksamsontheroad.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Dreaming and preparing to walk 500 miles! Or how does a middle aged mom, soon to grandmom get ready to drop it all and go on a pilgrimage in the North of Spain. Saturday, December 31, 2011. It's difficult to believe that this year is actually coming to a close. It's been quite spectacular and will rank as one of the most special in my life. So far! Two beautiful granddaughters. One Camino Frances done and done! Now after a long days hiking in the Pine Barrens, I'm off to slay some opponents at Scrabble!

Karin's Camino: November 2011

Dreaming and preparing to walk 500 miles! Or how does a middle aged mom, soon to grandmom get ready to drop it all and go on a pilgrimage in the North of Spain. Saturday, November 5, 2011. High road or low road? I knew the Camino, this Camino, was important for me. I knew I would have time to think, uninterrupted. Time to just be, completely removed from all the "things" that make up my so called life. No distractions. To the point I lost all track of the days of the week! Seeing where this all leads is ...

Dreaming and preparing to walk 500 miles! Or how does a middle aged mom, soon to grandmom get ready to drop it all and go on a pilgrimage in the North of Spain. Tuesday, September 17, 2013. Let the planning and plotting begin! Plans are at last underway for a 2014 Camino. Discussion is underway as to the exact route we'll take this time around. I killed the pack mule on the Camino Portuguese! However, I may opt for duct tape. Great for so many repairs to feet and packs and whining! Sigh Old feet, old inj...

Karin's Camino: October 2014
http://ksamsontheroad.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Dreaming and preparing to walk 500 miles! Or how does a middle aged mom, soon to grandmom get ready to drop it all and go on a pilgrimage in the North of Spain. Wednesday, October 8, 2014. Homeward bound or I wish I wasnt. Sitting in, as they pronounce it so beautifully, Lishboa Airport. We had a slightly panicked jog from our arrival gate to our departure one. Between a fairly close window and the hour time difference it got the heart rate up! A good thing as we face the last long leg of our journey home.

Karin's Camino: Sobrado dos Monxes
http://ksamsontheroad.blogspot.com/2014/10/sobrado-dos-monxes.html
Dreaming and preparing to walk 500 miles! Or how does a middle aged mom, soon to grandmom get ready to drop it all and go on a pilgrimage in the North of Spain. Thursday, October 2, 2014. I wasn't kidding when I said the place deserved its own post. It's quite a slog, seemingly mostly down hill to Sobrado dos Monxes. Just at the point you think your feet can't step down one more time, you encounter the lake which is right around the bend from the monks. So off to the store. Damian, Dominique and me&#...

Dreaming and preparing to walk 500 miles! Or how does a middle aged mom, soon to grandmom get ready to drop it all and go on a pilgrimage in the North of Spain. Thursday, October 2, 2014. When you are walking the Camino mileage or kilometers matter. Whether you count them or not, like calories, your body will do it any way. Even more spectacular was the centrifuge! An hour in the sun and you have cleN dry laundry! When you have only two sets of clothes this is a real treat. Fortunately we found a lake 2k...

Karin's Camino: O Burgo or not quite there yet.

Dreaming and preparing to walk 500 miles! Or how does a middle aged mom, soon to grandmom get ready to drop it all and go on a pilgrimage in the North of Spain. Friday, October 3, 2014. O Burgo or not quite there yet. We're spending the night just on the edge of O Pedrouzo. The original plan was the municipal alburgue. Then at our first coffee break, who do we meet but Marcy from our Philadelphia Camino group! So tonight we celebrate. Full up on pics on my iPhone. Now I'm using Rays! Walking the Camino i...

Karin's Camino: September 2011
http://ksamsontheroad.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Dreaming and preparing to walk 500 miles! Or how does a middle aged mom, soon to grandmom get ready to drop it all and go on a pilgrimage in the North of Spain. Friday, September 23, 2011. I first heard about the Camino at least 20 years ago. There was an immediate deep visceral response. I knew in every fiber of my being I wanted to do this thing, walk across the North of Spain. This isn't a surprise if you really know me. Or, it shouldn't be! So I've often felt a little out of sync. It really began...

Karin's Camino: March 2013
http://ksamsontheroad.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Dreaming and preparing to walk 500 miles! Or how does a middle aged mom, soon to grandmom get ready to drop it all and go on a pilgrimage in the North of Spain. Monday, March 18, 2013. It has been a long time since I've posted here. A really long time. Not that I don't think of the Camino nearly every day. Several times a day. But it has been nearly two years since my last walk. Two years to feel fully grounded and both feet on the earth here at home. Sagalouts aka Ian of the Road to Nowhere. On my last ...
