I leave tomorrow morning for Spain, to hike a version of this with my daughter who currently lives in Switzerland. If you are interested in following our progress, I'll going to try to post it all on our website blog. Here's the first entry: https://www.backpackthesierra.com/post/ ... e-santiago

I should be back just in time to teach my first class in the middle of August...if all goes according to plan. I'd love to hear comments and suggestions...

We are finished! We limped into Santiago amid hugs and celebrations. A wonderful adventure with a amazing daughter: https://www.backpackthesierra.com/post/ ... d-of-stars
