56.8 miles

The village of La Reina with Iglesia de Santiago in the distance.   In real life, around 2000+ steps on Fitbit as I moved around the house.  Total Camino miles 56.8

54.1 miles

One more for today.  Another church.  Still only getting steps around the house.  Total virtual miles 54.1  (large letters are bleed through from previous page.  I must have used a Sharpie instead of a Micron.  I will find something decorative to paste over it.)

53.3 miles



I haven't been walking or sketching for over a week, due to bronchitis.  But I have been wearing my Fitbit for a few days, and have accumulated enough steps in the house to "see" and sketch the Pilgrims Monument.  I'm not ready to resume walking outdoors yet.

49.5 miles

I haven't posted for a few days, so a few more miles than usual were covered.  This is a two page spread of some of the architecture in the city of Pamplona.  (Architecture is not my strong suit).  I didn't do much walking last week, for a number of reasons, but I made up for it today.

The page spread was too big for the scanner, and my photo is blurry, but I wanted to post something today.  Will try to get a better photo tomorrow.

38 miles


Some good walking over the weekend, but not a lot of sketching.  Ended today at 38 miles.  Almost at city of Pamplona.

26.9 miles

My real walks today consisted of a 1.2 mile loop around my neighborhood, and a lot of walking at the mall.  I bought a sweatshirt.

The total so far is 26.9 miles, about 2 days hike for the real hikers, and 13 for me.  LOL.  But walking 13 days in a row is real progress for me.

The panoramic sketch is from Google, a scene from near the village of Viscarett.   The photo offerings from Walking 4 Fun the last two days were not so interesting.  I've seen photos of this area on actual hikers' blogs that were much more impressive.  I may have to ask permission from one or two of them to use their photos for reference.

The trail marker is one of many similar ones on the trail.

21.9 miles

I feel like I should have made more progress today.  I guess I need to increase my walks a bit.  There are a lot of churches on this trail, and the reference photos are usually at awkward angles, confusing this already perspective challenged sketcher.   First walk one of my neighborhood loops early this morning, second walk to get a wrap for lunch.
