Windy Hill Sunset – A great place to watch the sun setting over the Pacific Ocean is the summit of Windy Hill Preserve. Love the subtle layers of light and dark defining the rolling foothills between Windy Hill and the coast!

April 25, 2023 Today marked the first day that we encountered serious mud along the trail! I had heard horror stories about the possibility of mud and thought that it could not possibly be as bad as everyone predicted.

April 24, 2023 Oddly, when reviewing my journal notes for our walk this day, I had written that it was a rainy day! But, when I processed the pictures for this post, the sky seemed mostly sun and clouds. Photographs don’t lie so perhaps… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino: Montcuq to Lauzerte”

November 23, 2024 We’ve been visiting our son in the Santa Cruz Mountains on the peninsula near Woodside, CA. Unfortunately, upon our arrival, we were inundated with an “atmospheric river” coming off the Pacific Ocean. This past Saturday, there was a break in the… Continue Reading “California Coast 11.23.24”
April 20, 2024 Before departing Limogne-en-Quercy, we stopped by a local grocery to pick up some snacks. This was the first “supermarket” we had encountered on our journey since leaving Le Puy-en-Velay. I had gotten used to – and loved! – the quaint “épiceries”… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Limogne-en-Quercy to Bach”
