June 28th Test Run

After a Saturday with record rainfall, Sunday the 25th was perfect cool weather.  The day's task was a 12 mile (19.2 km) hike with full pack to Forn McHenry and back.
Since I'm writing this, I obviously succeeded.  This was a good test run because the average daily hike on the Camino will be a little longer than this.

In this picture, I'm already looking a little pale.  By the time I got to the house, it was worse. Lesson learned: before going on a four hour hike, one should eat some breakfast.

Next Sunday, we depart for Porto.

June 25th, Ten Days to Go

Every day leads to el Camino de Santiago.  Today I set up this blog.  The objective is to take pictures and post descriptions of the eleven day adventure with my two daughters.  (WiFi permitting!)

Next up, I've got to figure out how to get photos from my phone to the Android Tablet that I plan to use to write this blog!
Somehow that worked!
