Missing the Camino Paths

Hello, everyone.

Things have been calm around Ye Olde Homestead this past week. No real developments or finished projects to report to y'all.

This morning we "got after it" as we say in South Texas, and left for our walk about 0600. It was dark. If there hadn't been street lights we couldn't have done our two miles. (Cracks in the sidewalks and unlevel panels in the cement will take you down very efficiently.) We were discussing light conditions early in the morning and after musing about best times to leave, as the days are shortening, we remembered leaving Logroño in the dark before dawn.

Arriving in Logroño


(Sorry no pic of the next morning...we depended on street lights that morning too.) 

We are continuing to walk nearly every day and will do as much walking as possible on any road trips that materialize. 

It's not entirely sure that dashing out first-thing almost every day for a couple of miles is really enough distance, but we went to Bentsen Park last week and the mosquitoes chased us hard the entire loop. It was the fastest 3.5 miles we have ever walked! It's been a rainy summer and the places we normally walk for training have all kinds of standing water...these would also be known as "mosquito farms." We don't want to lose a pint of blood while walking, and we really would rather not come down with something lovely like dengue fever! So it's up and down the streets for a while. This too shall pass.
