A Wonderful Trip

For those who have looked at our photos of the Camino 2009 on my Facebook, we can report that Ferran is offering another trip on May 21 to June 4, 2010. Here is a website you can go to and find further information:

We are going again and would like to share this adventure with friends.

Three up and ? to go

I've now put up three of the photo albums of our recent trips on Facebook. I'll try to do one a day for awhile. Meanwhile, enjoy what is already there.

Photo Backlog

I have many hundreds of photos that Elyn has taken over the past months on our various travels (around Spain and Scotland). I'm thinking that I will spend some time in the next day or so and post slide shows of some of these travels on my Facebook. If you are interested you might check in from time to time and, if they don't go up soon, remind me of this pledge. It takes some time to make a good selection, so they won't go up instantly.

Camino Retreat -- Last Installment

I've put all 174 photos up as an album on my Facebook, so there is little need to select a few to be put here. Go to Facebook and look for the album Camino 2009. They are all there.

Now we begin the task of putting together our book: Powerful Places near the Camino de Santiago. Look for it out in the spring. This will be my winter, stay at home project. I look forward to long winter days snug in our apartment here in Sahagún working on books.

Knowing us, I'm sure we will find someplace to go during the winter months. I have said that we are nomads at heart, but that is not quite true. Nomads tend to return to the same places year after year and we tend to be moving on to new territory year after year. Vagabonds might be a better descriptor. Anyway, I'm still having fun in my 72nd year and looking forward to what turns up next.

Camino Retreat -- Fifth Installment

These photos were taken at Torres del Rio, San Millán de la Cogolla, and Santo Domingo de la Calzada. That's David playing his lyre in the second shot. More coming shortly. If you want to see all 174 photos in the slide show go to my Facebook.

Camino Retreat -- Fourth Installment

Here are some views of Eunate and Puente la Reina. The night shot was an experiment in time lapse photography that turned out very well. Enjoy!

Camino Retreat -- Third Installment

Here are the next batch of photos from the Camino Retreat. These come from San Juan de la Peña and the monastery of Leyre.

Camino Retreat -- Second Installment

Here are a few more photos from the Camino Retreat. The lush valley lies at the end of the very steep trail in the Valley of Hecho. (That's me hiking down into the valley.) The churches are in surrounding villages. Enjoy!

Highlights of Our Camino Retreat

Here is a small sample of the photos Elyn took on our recent retreat on the Camino de Santiago. These photos were from the first two days of the trip and include early morning on the beach at Sitges, Montserrat, and a high mountain valley up in the Pyrenees. Enjoy!
