Europe 2017 – The Camino de Santiago – Part Fifteen
October 19 – 21, Astorga to Leon The train ride to Leon took a little under thirty minutes and once there we again took a taxi, for 6.5 euros, to our lodging, a return visit to Check-In Leon. We’d been so impressed with the uncrowded and clean conditions there when passing through the first time […]
Europe 2017 – The Camino de Santiago – Part Fourteen
October 18 – 19, Santiago de Compostela to Astorga Our arrival on October 16th in Santiago was two weeks earlier than originally anticipated due to our switching to the bikes, giving us two weeks of time to fill. After some deliberation, we decided to retrace some of our steps, this time as tourists, by revisiting […]
Europe 2017 – The Camino de Santiago – Part Twelve
October 16 – 18, Santiago de Compostela We finished off the Cava and in a light drizzle walked over to the Pilgrim’s Reception Office to see about getting our certificates. As it was late in the day the line was pretty long, likely a 30-minute wait and knowing we had all of the next day […]
Europe 2017 – The Camino de Santiago – Part Eight
October 9 – 12, Sahagun to Ponferrada Breakfast at Viatoris the morning we left Sahagun was a delight with coffee, juice, a small wrapped pastry to take with us and the closer, thinly sliced Serrano ham on toast. Tanks full, we mounted up and took off for another day of riding through the Meseta, or […]
Europe 2017 – The Camino de Santiago – Part Six
October 4- 6, Santo Domingo to Burgos We walked just outside of the historic center of town and located Pension Miguel, heading up a flight of stairs to be greeted by a very enthusiastic proprietor who spoke Spanish only at a mile a minute but curiously, maybe because of the time we’ve spent here, I […]
Europe 2017 – The Camino de Santiago – Part Four
September 28 – October 1, Puente La Reina to Logrono The River Arga We left Puente La Reina on a cool morning that warmed up fast, our good luck with weather holding steady, another great day for hiking with moderate temperatures and blue skies. On the way out of town we’d stopped briefly to take […]
Europe 2017 – Athens – Part Four
August 24 – 26 After our pizza snack, we walked through the Plaka to the Arch of Hadrian, which offers a neat framing device that many tourists take advantage of, either posing in front of the arch or making sure they get a bit of the Acropolis in the background. From there we continued north […]
Europe 2017 – Athens – Part Three
August 24 – 26 Up early as planned, our sleep pattern getting back to normal from the jet lag, we had breakfast downstairs (five euros apiece) and set out for the Acropolis around 8am. We had purchased a combo ticket for 30 euros the day before (gaining us admission to it and other sites including […]
Europe 2017 – Athens – Part Two
August 24 – 26 We arose refreshed from the nap as we had hoped, set out to do some more exploring and to determine a route to the starting point for the walking tour we would take the next day with Athens Free Walking Tour. We were to meet at 9am at a small church […]
West Coast Summer 2017 – The Wedding – Part Two
August 16-21 We closed out the picnic and followed the kids back to the B&B where the wedding party was staying in order to pick up the Honda and ferry it back to Potrero House as there was available parking there. There we relaxed until it was time to head over to The Cheese School […]
