Today, I walked from the beautiful city of Burgos to the village of Hontanas. I shared some impressions on this video about my hikes during the Camino de Santiago Please subscribe to this newsletter if you want to follow and support my travel and stories.
A new favorite video! This is beautiful! Gorgeous landscape, wonderful nature.
Loved seeing wind turbines there. Such a long walk today almost 20 miles!
But a favorite part was your visit to the small chapel. It was clear from your words and the expression on your face you were very moved by the kind nun and how she gave you the blessing of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the medal and a ‘big hug’.
May the Virgin be with you and see you safely to the end of your journey and beyond. I believe too.
Good on you! It's all so lovely. I'm glad that you decided to send your pack ahead, and that—as much as I enjoy your videos—you will prioritize getting rest after all the exertion! May the wind continue to be at your back.
Enjoyed your walk (as I lie back in my chair). I see it’s cold today, but it’s hard to believe as here in Florida it’s in the high 80’s (F). It must be more pleasant to walk in the cooler weather than the heat. I especially enjoyed the chapel & the kind nun who sent you on the rest of the way with blessings.
You will be tired when you stop for the night. Sleep tight!
The Gothic cathedrals are magnificent but I love small stone chapels for their history and simple beauty.
The Blessing of Santa Maria, Madre de Dios, by the Spanish Nun can be heard in your voice. The gift of that protection I believe will last far beyond The Camino. Lucky you.
✝ Hontanas, population 69(70). I think all will fit in that small church ⛪ you filmed? I wonder if you can feel the life energy of the Romans 🚶♂️who have gone before you, here? Did you drink from the natural spring💧? The wheat fields and views, amazing!!

The wind changed direction today, but it was nice to have wind in the heat
After years of living through California fires and air filled with particulate matter, I always worry about air quality! Stay healthy—salute!
Amazing!! Such beautiful landscape. Thank you for sharing and giving us such beautiful scenery to enjoy.
Thanks Ginna!

Thank you Sharon 😊
Way to go, Alexander! You are an inspiration. Your friends from Boulder are cheering you on!
Thank you Bob, I walked through a flat-ironed landscape today, known as the Meseta

Wow only 69, it felt a little bit bigger. At least bigger than where I now just arrived: Boadilla
Thank you!
