Tag Archives: Dispatches from the road – After spending 6 months in Europe, Morocco sure is a shock to the senses! In this post, I discuss what it feels like to travel in Morocco after Europe as well as some of my first sensory impressions. We’re looking forward to spending a few months in this complex, beautiful, and whirlwind of a country!  The continuing saga of our Camino de Santiago, including an update on the blister situation and a few new challenges. Included in this blog post is an explanation of why we stopped walking, afterthoughts on the journey, and whether or not we recommend walking the Camino. There are also a few practical tips for those preparing to become pilgrims, like useful websites, packing tips, dealing with albergues, and designing realistic daily steps.  In this blog entry, read about our early experiences as pilgrims walking the Camino. This post includes impressions, challenges, highlights, information on the “credencial del peregrino,” “albergues de donativo,” eating on the Camino, and what to do when blisters happen.  My first impression of Turkey’s Mediterranean left me underwhelmed, especially in light of our wonderful first month in the country . Nonetheless, we set to work hiking, visiting ruins, admiring the view, and spending afternoons at the beach. Would the Turkish coast of the Mediterranean be able to live up to the rest of the country?  Bruno and I were reunited again in Turkey’s Southeastern Anatolia. It’s good to be back to life on the road, and there have been several pleasant surprises, like stunning beauty, comfortable campsites, plentiful historical sites, and welcome spring-like weather. There may also have been a less pleasant surprise, but you’ll have to read on to find out what! |
