I’m now in Puente Villarente, about eight miles shy of Leon. \u00a0(In Spain, on the Camino de Santiago.)\u00a0By the time we get there – tomorrow – we will have hiked 250 miles from Pamplona, in the 21 days since we left on September 13. (We took a day off in Burgos.) Unfortunately my tablet isn’t good for the usual high-quality posts, so for now I’ll try this more-primitive version.<\/span><\/p>\n

The image above refers to one of the favorite songs on my iPod Shuffle. The one I sneak out every once in a while, “on the march.” But I’ve changed the words to “It’s a long way to Santiago!” (Santiago de Compostela that is.)<\/p>\n

Here’s a picture from Pamplona, showing two “turistas” in front of a statue commemorating the annual running of the bulls. It seems like an eternity ago.<\/p>\n

The first 10 days after that – on the hike – were pretty miserable. My left foot constantly throbbed, until it blistered up and got tough. But the day off in Burgos helped a lot. And since then we’ve made good progress. Still, we had to implement a Plan B, which involves renting bikes in Leon and cycling the remaining 194 miles.<\/p>\n

But for now we’re happily ensconced in Puente Villarente, a city named for the old Roman bridge shown below.<\/p>\n

I’ll try to either update or add some such primitive posts, but if not, I’ll be back home on or about October 17.<\/p>\n
