Hello friends and family!

I hope this will be a way for us Peregrinos to keep you home-bodies up to date with our progress...or lack of it.

Never done a blog before!

My father came up with this idea...lets bicycle the Camino de Santiago in Spain. It is an ancient pilgrimage route, dating back the the time of the Crusaders. Most pilgrims walk the route, taking as long as 1-2 months to walk the 500 miles. We, however, are bicycling. We being my father, David, sister Ann, her son, Tom, husband, Brian, and me, Davy. We leave on Sept 23rd for Madrid, via Heathrow in London, and return the middle of October. I think right now the idea is to bring our own bicycles, but hey, we still have a month to change our minds! Buen Camino!
