Even though one’s emotions can feel mixed when you reach the end of such a meaningful experience, it was certain that we were all ready to stop walking, and to wear something other than hiking clothes! We hit the trail early again, and had a couple of miles without many other pilgrims on the trail. But with about 9 miles left to go to Santiago de Compostela, it was like someone opened a gate and pilgrims entered the trail seemingly out of nowhere. It was an amazing experience, though, to be sharing “The Way” with so many pilgrims. All of us had self selected to do a pilgrimage, and the air was rich with a shared meaningfulness. We all walked with purpose. It was a great procession. The boys hiked hard and fast. They didn’t request as many snacks today as they have the last 9 days, and Jerry and I stayed right on their heels. We were all eager to reach Santiago de Compostela. After 10 days of walking on the Camino, we got to know the familiar faces of the many pilgrims who were on a similar timeline and schedule. A kinship was formed, and we oft…

We are one day and one more walk from the “end” of our pilgrimage – Santiago de Compostela. With each step, as we get closer, I’m getting more tender and emotional… I feel full… Today I have at times been overwhelmed with emotions… Today, we walked for all of those who can’t… who don’t have the health or ability… I am so proud of the boys. And Jerry, too. But this was Jerry’s and my idea. It wasn’t the boys’ idea… This Osho quote came to mind to me today: “The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never.” For most of this pilgrimage I have walked behind our sons, but almost always with them in my sight, even if from from a distance, and for thousands and thousands of steps, I’ve reflected on my life as a mother – their mother. Here’s a “report” for Day 9 on the Camino de Santiago. (You’ll probably be relieved to see there are not as many photos as usual…but for what it’s worth, they were purposefully selected and have captions to explain) Today was pretty easy compared to yesterday—our walk was just 13 miles. We left early again, a…

Despite throbbing feet, some blisters, and sore achilles tendons, Day 7 of our pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago was exceptional! Our day started with some unexpected excitement when Fin was walking and eating a baguette for breakfast when a tooth fell out. A baguette connoisseur by now, Fin remarked “The baguette was actually delicious and perfectly soft on the inside, but the outside was a little tougher than I prefer them.” (I sure hope the tooth fairy doesn’t forget to visit tonight!) After we crossed the Miño River and started up a hill, the sun came up and lit the forest and trail with a bright golden glow. Sunrise is my favorite time of day, and this was our first morning to have a clear sky and a notable sunrise. This made me so happy! Today’s hike was 15 miles, and we shared the trail with many pilgrims. About 4 miles in, at the top/end of a long uphill, the boys pulled to the side of the trail and sat on their backpacks for a KitKat break, while Jerry and I took a 400-meter roundtrip detour to check out the remains of the castromajor Romanesque church of Santa Maria, which was inhabit…

I could get used to this! (To read the pre-Camino de Santiago blog post, which explains in detail why we’re on this pilgrimage, please click here.) Read about Day 1 on the Camino de Santiago. Hello! We survived Day 2 of our Camino de Santiago pilgrimage! Today’s route took us through backroads, small villages and rolling hills of lush green vineyards. While the scenery was beautiful, much of today’s 16.5 miles was on cement sidewalks or paved roads, which are not too kind on one’s joints and feet… We all have pretty sore feet as a result, and some sore knees. Rain was in the forecast, but we lucked out and were only sprinkled on during the last two miles, which was excellent and provided relief from the heat. The boys were champs, especially considering some of the ailments they are dealing with (sore Achilles’ tendons and knees). Tomorrow will not be our longest day but it will be our toughest. It will include 19 miles and a lot of elevation gain, especially in the last four miles. Add to that we will likely have rain all day. So we are trying to mentally prepare for tomorrow by laying around a lot this afternoon. We are feeding the boys whatever foods they want, and in great quantities! Lol. But se…

Immediately it was evident why this place is called Lauterbrunnen –- which means, “Many Fountains.” In the Swiss Alps, Lauterbrunnen is set in a valley featuring tall cliffs, and waterfalls, including the roaring Staubbaach and Trummelbach and the many other tall, ribbon-like and tumbling waterfalls.

Waterfalls were tumbling off high cliffs above us and all around us. Below is a lush, green valley with few buildings. We walked in a light sprinkling of rain about one-third of a mile to find what would be our favorite accommodations so far, a really neat cabin in the Jungfrau Campground. We got settled in our cabin, and then headed for a quick walk. We had been sitting in trains all day so wanted to stretch our legs and check out our new destination. We ventured to the nearby showstopper of a waterfall, Staubbach Falls. With a height of nearly 300 meters, Staubbach Falls is the second highest waterfall in Switzerland. It is one of 72 waterfalls in Lauterbrunnen Valley. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" …

After a full first day in London, we slept in on Day 2. We enjoyed a breakfast provided by our hotel, Regency House. Given we were in England, Jerry and I did what any wise visitor would do and ordered the “Full English Breakfast.” Oh. My. God. Absolutely delicious. Bacon lovers, our sons each opted for the “bacon sandwich,” which was a piece of thick toast on which a huge heap of cottage bacon was piled.

We set out to practice our public transportation skills by using our “oyster cards” and the Underground to get to the Westminster Pier. As soon as we walked up the stairs out of the subway station, we were surprised when we looked up and right in front of us were Big Ben, and the spectacular Westminster Abbey palace. We also saw the Eye of London as we found our way to the pier and onto our City Cruises boat. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/BigBen-348x460.jpg" alt="Big Ben, at the north end of …

Europe or Bust! The flight was an 8-hour flight that took off at 7:45pm. After in the air, we let the boys watch one movie, then we all closed our eyes ’till we landed in London, which given the 7-hour jump ahead in time, meant we had feet on the ground in Europe at 11:30am on Monday, May 23. Once in London, we were greeted by my friend, Antonia, whom I met on my Brooks Range Alaska NOLS course in 2011. Antonia has visited us in Lander, WY for the famous 4th of July, during her Yellowstone Park visits. Now, we would see her on her turf! (She’s from Germany, but teaches Sanskrit at a private school in London.) It was so great to see Antonia, who led us to the Underground, and traveled to a station near our hotel on Gower Street.

This state park gets its name, Kodachrome, from a 1948 National Geographic Society expedition that named the area after its popular color film. Kodachrome State Park is known for its tall and colorful spires. Almost 70 monolithic stone spires — called sedimentary pipes — jut out of red and orange desert-like environs. The colorful sandstone formations reveal 180 million years of geologic time. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-8770" title="P4120353" src="http://havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/P4120353-460x345.jpg" alt="" width="460" height="345" srcset="https://www.havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/P4120353-460x345.jpg 460w, https://www.havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/P4120353-225x168.jpg 225w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px" /> Our 9-year-old and 11-year-old sons climb on the rocks. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-8771" title="P4120356" src="http://havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/P4120356-460x345.jpg" alt="" width="460" height="345" srcset="https://www.havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/P4120356-460x345.jpg 460w, https://www.havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/P4120356-225x168.jpg 225w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px" /> Fin, our 4-year-old, doing the bear walk up a …
