Traveling with Joe

  What is the Camino like?  OK, this is what it’s really like!   

I am working with the world’s slowest internet, especially upload speeds but I am trying (TRYING) to get some videos and pictures up so I can comment on them.  The Pic below took 15 minutes to upload just to give you some idea what I’m up against.  There will be more fun posts soon! Taken today (October 14, 2014) somewhere between Mars and Uranus Spain… Read More

Just to put this in perspective. Since I left San Diego I have flown across the Atlantic, spent one night in Barcelnoa, flew to Pamplona, spent one night there, then got transported to the French Border where I have walked over 100 miles since I left home.  I’m sleeping in a different bed almost every night and they are usually single beds which, as my..

We started today with a tour of the largest Cathedral in Spain.  Then we had a 15 mile walk (which they say is only 12 but I have a new Fitbit that says otherwise) and I recorded tons of content and pictures.  BUT, I speed tested the internet here at our Hostel and the download speeds are OK but it would take me about a..

I will crawl before I quit Today’s Riddle  The Pace of Life  Am I a Princess?  Belarado  A rural Hotel  I had to eat a little crow after I made “The Pace of Life” video.  It started to sprinkle, then rain, then deluge.  Literally minutes after I criticized my fellow trekkers for not taking the time to smell the roses I was almost running and..

I am happy to report that my knees suddenly quit hurting just as quickly as they started.  I don’t know if it’s the Knee Braces, the Anti-Inflammatory Cream, or if they just healed on their own; I did take a day off.  I walked 21km yesterday and had intended to do it at a slow pace until it started deluging rain.  At that point it..

First I want to thank everybody for their concern over my knees.  As most of you know I’ve broken more than my fair share of bones; 2 big toes, an ankle, tailbone, countless ribs, vertebrae (twice) and a wrist so I have a lot of experience with pain and discomfort.  I have no idea what is happening with my knees.  I’ve cycled across America, I..
