Today we’re sleeping in Teradillos de Templarios, which is approximately the halfway point to Santiago! We have had a few days of walking in the Meseta now, which is similar to the Prairies at home. Just like at home, the big sky sunrises don’t disappoint.
By far the best thing along this journey have been the people I’ve met. I see so many people each day that sometimes I don’t know their names or where they’re from, but I can recognize a familiar smiling face accompanied by the phrase “Buen Camino”. All of us are connected by the same goal.
It was a special experience last night when Marco, my Italian walking mate, cooked a typical Italian dinner for Majeik, John, and I. I can’t wait to eat more Italian food with RobO when we meet in Rome at the end of June!
Today I walked for a while with 2 men from Montreal (Marc and Chris) with whom I had crossed paths with before. I found out that they have been reading this blog (I had given the address on our last encounter). When I commented on an amazing pin of a Canadian flag with a Camino scallop shell, Mark generously took his off of his hat and gave it to me. It was a touching example of the Camino bond.
If all goes well we should reach León on Saturday!
Hi Dawn your blog is quite expressive. My brother Marc «NOT Mark» and Christian «not Chris» are most impressed with the high quality of your blog,in fact so am I.

Thank you Pierre for your kind words. Our blog has turned into a kind of travel scrapbook, but I'm glad others are enjoying it too!
TTSOL (To the spirit of life)! Hope there isn't a copywrite on this because I plan to use it again!
