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 […]
September 27 – 28, Pamplona to Puente La Reina Forgotten Photo of our Entrance to Zubiri We’d originally planned to just hike 8 miles or so each day the first week to get ourselves into shape. That plan flew out the window our first couple of days as we followed our primary guide book, Hiking […]
September 24 – 26, Orisson to Zubiri We slept OK that night, the snoring of one of our Australian female roommates hardly an annoyance and preparing us for future nights of sleeping in rooms with groups of other folks. We awoke to the alarm at 6am in pitch dark; it wouldn’t get light out until […]
September 23 – 24, Montpellier to Orisson Our adventure on the Camino de Santiago started early Saturday morning as we left Francois’ house at 5:30 am to catch the tram to Montpellier’s main train station for our 6:17 am trip to St. Jean Pied de Port, the historical jumping off point for the route we […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
August 24 – 26 The next thing we knew we were on our way overnight to Greece, arriving in Athens around 9am on the 25th. This trip, though lengthy will not be as long as the one we did 2014, particularly since we discovered that Americans can’t stay in the Euro Zone for longer than […]
August 16-21 We soon found ourselves dressed and ready to head over to the Cheese School. Kim and Marty’s good friend Rhonda, who’d be staying with us that night kindly took a number of pictures of us, all cleaned up and ready to go. We drove the Honda over to the venue as it would […]
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 […]
