Well, in a week, Mark and I will be embarking on a
48 day journey from Ireland to Spain. Whilst in Spain, Mark and I will be visiting Barcelona (a city I have been dying to go to for a long while now) before embarking on the
Camino de Santiago.
Some of my you may have heard of this familiar pilgrimage route before, but most of you probably have not. Mark has been wanting to do this "walk" (I put walk in "" because walk seems too leisurely a term) since before I knew him and since we met he has been talking about wanting to do this. I am no equally as excited and we cannot wait to take on this journey.
For the benefit of our family and friends, I figured it would be wise to provide a map of all our upcoming travels. At first, I thought about getting a map of Spain and--using some Paint-like program--drawing a line across the North end of it.
Mark and I will be walking 701.6 km or 435. 95 miles, so that's a lot of mapping. BUT, since I'm anal-retentive, I powered through and created
a detailed Google Map.
For those of you not interested in checking out my sweet Google map, I will inundate you with computer screenshots that Map our our journey. I am so technologically savvy. (Sorry for the blurriness though--my savvy-ness is apparently not savvy enough.)
NOTE: You can click on all these images to get a much clearer and detailed representation of what we're up to.

Although we may seem crazy, Mark and I are truly excited about this once-in-a-lifetime experience. We will obviously miss Galway and Ireland when we bid her adieu in a week, but Spain offers an opportunity like none other.
