In the spirit of “There’s no bad weather, only bad clothing choices,” I’ve continued to walk through the Pacific Northwest gloom. We’ve even had some days of sunshine. With news of a vaccine and the potential for travel to open up next year, I’ve dared to plan again. I even ordered a guidebook to the Via Francigena, and for anyone who reads my mini-guide to planning for the Camino, you know that’s a big ole step.

I’ve also whittled down my reading list this fall and want to share some diverse books by women who walk. Any of them would make a wonderful holiday gift for the walker in your life. Stay tuned for more in my Dec. 18 blog post.

I created a free guide to help you start planning for your own slow walk: Quick Prep for a Slow Walk (on the Camino de Santiago). You’ll also receive my periodic newsletters about writing, slow travel, and the Camino. Thanks for joining me.
