Greg Pifer – Pop – Pilgrim

I hope that you will follow me as I prepare to hike the Camino de Santiago across Northern Spain and then begin my 5 week hiking adventure starting on June 19, 2022. I’ve been preparing on and off for the past 3 years or so and now the adventure is upon me. I want to use this blog to try to keep family and friends informed of where I am, what I see and what I am experiencing. This adventure is way out of my typical comfort zone. I will be passing through cities such as Pamplona but also be hiking through small villages with populations of 20-30 people. The accommodations are hostels with a lot of strangers snoring in the same large room together. I have been brushing up on my Spanish by taking lessons to help me be able to speak to the people I meet and interact with. The trail name I have chosen is ”Pop” which is what our immediate family and grandchildren call me. It’s simple and at 68 years old seems very appropriate
