I started this blog in 2004 when I walked my first Camino in Spain. Since that time I've walked two others, the links are to the left. In between, I've travelled throughout Europe and Africa and most recently the US. I'll be embarking on another long distance walk on the Florida Scenic Train, starting in March of 2019.

Gaismas ceļā (Path of Light)
I must say the Latvians are big on metaphor and last night's concert was no exception. The concert was performed by over 300 musicians playing a traditional Latvian stringed instrument called the kokle. There are basically two types: a small laptop version with about 10 strings, and a large pedestal type with up to 30 strings for playing in concerts like the one last night. It sounded like an orchestra of stringed instruments. Very powerful. I've included a link to one of my favorite kokle players.
