LIVE from the Camino Feeling sorry for myself in Burgos!
I am here too and have been struggling BIG time with blisters, 3on each foot, symmetrically. I am in Belorado, 2 days from Burgos. I'm considering taking public transportation to Burgos tomorrow and then resting for a day or two. I've been trekking with severe pain.- Shawnasong

LIVE from the Camino This JUST happened...
I know you are going to love this story... I left Puente La Reina this morning. I entered the town of Maneru and was going to keep on walking straight through. I stopped and double backed to stop for a coffee and to practice what I preach about foot care. As I was standing there chatting with a...- Shawnasong

LIVE from the Camino Pinch Me
I started walking from St. Jean on Saturday. Rumor has it that today is Wednesday, supposedly only a few days after my departure. How that is possible is a Camino mystery, as life is so full. Friends, you may recall my pre-walk post about Orrison being full the days I wanted. Make no mistake...- Shawnasong

A million thanks to ALL of you. With your help, I have made excellent changes. I am leaving day after tomorrow to have a long layover in Toronto.

Dissect My Packing List...Go!
Thank you! Yes, getting a lighter pack and sleeping bag. As for my journal, I agree about the weight. I even considered no journal and using my phone instead, but there's something special about pen and paper and being able to sketch. I will consider a lighter option. The sarong is made of...- Shawnasong

Dissect My Packing List...Go!
Good idea. I tore a strip off of my sarong that is useful for lots of things, but I didn't think of using it in the shower. It makes for a very good head/neck wrap.- Shawnasong

Dissect My Packing List...Go!
Here is my entire packing list. This is grim: Total weight, including a full Nalgene bottle is 21.1 pounds. This also includes the few ounces of the clothes that will actually be on my body, not in my pack (doesn't include the shoes, though, because those will always be out of my pack)...- Shawnasong

Walking for you : YOUR intentions on my camino
That is beautiful. I am doing the same thing. I am walking for my friend who would love to do it but cannot due to metastasizing cancer to her spine, and for my father, paralyzed from the neck down from agent orange poisoning... I've been visualizing my trek as a walk of prayer for humanity. For...- Shawnasong

Orrison is full Sept. 9th
Hi Sandra, Thank you for the idea. I remain open to possibilities. At this point, I feel determined to walk the whole way, whether in one day or in stages. If I decide not to cross the Pyrenees, then I will just start in Roncesvalles, since that is where I go first from Madrid. See you along the...- Shawnasong
