Country trail leading through golden grass with distant mountains under clear blue sky at sunset.

Pamplona → Puente La Reina

September 04, 2026

I won't lie, today was a tough day for me. I woke up sick, but I was somehow able to hit the trail by 5am to beat the heat. I had very little energy. My daughter Audrey had texted me this morning to keep one foot in front of the other. That's what I focused on, and I was able to complete the section. Each day on the trail, I don't plan for a good day or bad day. I just open myself up to what the lord provides. Sometimes it's not what I would ask for. Other times, it's more than I could hope for. But whatever it is, I must be prepared to receive it and glorify him.

Iron pilgrim sculptures. Can you spot me? It's better than Where's Waldo.
