I want to thank the many people who commented on my Hiking in Spain post. All the people who wrote had recently walked the Camino de Santiago and gave me such valuable information about what I could expect on the 400ish mile journey. Many pilgrims offered websites for further information, or gave me the names of specific guidebooks that were particularly helpful. I am grateful for your assistance.
However, since I can’t go to Spain at just this moment, I have chosen to trek someplace closer (and cheaper) to home: The wild land of Connecticut, with a side trip to New York City. Our family loves to travel, so my children and I decided a quick trip to see my brother and his family would be a lot of fun.
We’ll also go to New York City for the day so that my children can experience Broadway. I have no idea what we will see; we’ll stand in line at TKTS and take our chances-- which is an experience in and of itself. Then I will teach my children the fine art of standing at the stage entrance after the performance to meet the cast members. Or maybe we’ll just save some money by skipping the performance and hanging out by the stage door.
Buen Camino to you, wherever your travels take you.
