We are two old souls – though not quite old enough to stop wandering. In our early 60s, we’ve learned that the best journeys aren’t the easiest ones. We love walking, we love getting a little lost , and we love seeing the world at a pace that actually lets us feel it.
A year and a half ago, we set out on our first Camino. We didn’t really know what we were getting into – just that we wanted something different. Something beyond the usual “sit by the pool, drink in hand, watch the days blur together” kind of trip.
What we found instead was something quieter and deeper. Long days on our feet. Conversations that wandered as much as we did. Moments of reflection we didn’t expect – but probably needed.
And once you’ve had that kind of experience, it’s hard to go back.
So here we are – Still walking, still curious, still choosing adventure over ease. Not because it’s always comfortable, but because it feels more alive.
Two Old Soles Blog is where we share those journeys: the miles, the missteps, the laughter, and the small meaningful moments in between.
We’re not exerts. We’re not influencers. We’re just two women who decided it’s not too late to keep exploring.
And we’re glad you’re here.
16,580 steps – 10.9 kms
We arrived here by bus from Escalante and since our room wasn’t ready yet, we decided to make the most of our time with a hop-on, hop-off bus tour —thanks to a great recommendation from a lovely couple we met at breakfast in Escalante.
The beaches here are absolutely stunning, with beautiful shade of turquoise and deep blue water rolling in with soft, gentle waves. It’s also a cruise port, although we only spotted one ship, so thankfully it didn’t feel overcrowded like some port cities can.
We spent the afternoon wandering around, stopping for coffee and tea, and figuring out our game plan for tomorrow. Originally, we were looking at a 30-km walking day, but after some honest discussion with ourselves (and our legs),we decided to take a train out of the city instead. The route through the industrial area apparently isn’t the most scenic anyway, so this will leave us with a much more manageable walk and still let us enjoy arriving on foot at our next destination.
For supper, we found a fun little ramen place covered in anime pictures and posters. My grandson would have absolutely loved it, so of course I took plenty of photos to send him.
All in all, it turned into a wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable day on the Camino.
