It's #PCAM Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and I'm doing that Thang that I've mentioned before🤣Flew to Barcelona, had a couple days to Tour: La Sagrada Familia by Gaudi

Picasso Museum, Paella and cervezas tambien

Flew to San Sebastian, then hired a Taxi to St Jean Pied de Port

Early the next am, I began the Camino Frances

On Day 3 today, Day one is the hardest as we climb the Pyrenees 😆

And ya know that I took so many pic, and hydrated with cervezas 🍺

Met such wonderful peeps and even a young lady who was in the Spain Touring Company doing A Chorus Line

So gorgeous out here and I'm hoping it will be about a month

As in 2019 on the mini Camino (69.65miles) I'm placing Blue Ribbons along the Way and have a sign on my backpack honoring Men Taken

Have had several inquiries about it

Men from HU and my ZERO FB are on it

If any of y'all are into Prayers, send me Good Vibes💙

Sorry that I haven't posted in awhile, I been busy and was incogchino🤣

Very nice Doc. Way of St James is on my bucket list. I just got back from a short hike in the Pyrenees myself but on the French side. Ended by visiting Lourdes and the site of the Apparition of Mary. The Grotto is where she appeared. Our Lady of Lourdes Cathedral was built on top of the Grotto. I'll leave it to those interested to look up the events.

The Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes.

Mahalo nui loa Bruddah, after the 2019 mini, had to attempt the entire one. It hasn't disappointed. I'm so scrawny that my shoulders aren't muscled enough to support the straps. I've rolled clothes and tucked them under. I may end using a bag transport to each hotel 🤔Wow, about the Lady of Lourdes 💙

I stopped here for a bit and teared up

Think I have a Reason for this 🙏

Mahalo again

Hi. I always wanted to do the Camino but never had the time yet (I am still working). I read many travellers book on it.

The ribbon and the pictures are just incredible idea. It is just like we were all making this pilgrimage with you and all together.

Buen Camino!!

I walked it 7 years ago… you’re in for a treat. It’s magnificent, every bit. Hard at times, but you’ll be walking through an incredible country full of amazing people.

They say that in days of yore the last couple of 100 miles was lined with ‘houses of ill repute’… because pilgrims would have their sins washed away when they arrived in Santiago… so may as well have fun on the way.

Buen Camino peregrino!

Looks like a fantastic trip, and knowing you, you're bringing the party. With all of the nature and art, glad to see that you are not neglecting the great food and the varieties of beer. If your trip is not an effort to grab all the QOL you can, then I don't know what would qualify.

Go Doc, Go

Yes, it certainly has been. Tho last night I must've been an ADT brain fart and I book the next room in Sansol and it ended up like way farther. I was alone on the Camino as the sun was setting, thinking: Lions, tigers and Beers oh myMahalo nui loa Bruddah

Stopped at Bodega Irache where the winery has a free red wine tap going.

LoL, no more big old trips for me and dunno if imma be able to do the entire Camino by 10/04. I may have to either taxi my backpack ahead, my muscle atrophy ain't helping, or just get to Sarria with like 5 days left and with two Stamps (sellos) per day in your Peregrino Passport (Credencial) that will certify you as an official PilgrimHere's from Sept 07
