Tomorrow! I'll be heading off with Kellun on a sisters' trip to explore parts of the Iberian peninsula. She's leaving from Denver and I'm leaving from Chicago, and we're planning - hoping! - to meet up at the airport in Barcelona. Seems a simple endeavor in today's world of cellular connectivity, but not so simple when we're not sure our US cell phones will work once we land. Ah, maybe I'll just see her at the hotel . . . Courage and confidence, stick around please.
Assuming we find each other, here's our itinerary:
October 3-5 - Barcelona
October 5-6 - Pamplona
October 6-8 - San Sebastian
October 8-18 - Camino de Santiago, ending in Santiago de Compostela (more on this later, but as you can see, modern pilgrims seem to have websites and blogs)
Yes, that's right. AFTER we spend six or seven days sightseeing, THEN we will walk/ride for ten days on an ancient pilgrimage route! Of course we will.
Okay, so besides courage and confidence, I'm also asking for fortitude and well, energy! I hear we just need to "follow the arrows" - all one ever needs to do, really. Off we go!
