I'm still here!

I'm in the planning stages for my next trip to the Camino Frances. Because this is an election year in the US, I will probably have to go in May. The presidential campaigns will kick into full gear in September (when I had planned to go) & won't be over until November (too cold). While I am dedicated to completing the Camino, I am also dedicated to returning my country to sanity & electing a Democratic President, Senate, & House of Representatives! /political mode off

I had originally decided to skip ahead to Sarria & knock off the last 100k, but that never sat right with me. So I sat down with a calendar & a map last night & figured that if I could go at least 25k/day, I could walk Leon-Santiago in 13 days. (Where, oh where, have we heard that before?) Now all I need to do is stop getting sick, get off my hind end & start walking.
