    Camino Frances conditions in September

    Hi Fellow Pilgrim, I walked from September 8th through October 14th last year. As I read through the comments others have offered I found myself thinking, with a smile, of a response a veteran had offered to a question about the weather (unfortunately, I can't remember who): "The weather will...

    Why does everyone have an opinion!

    Hi there fellow pilgrim, Folks will think what they will. My wish for you :-) ... Let the "advice" fall to the floor; celebrate your own strength and wisdom; and allow the journey ahead and the kindness of those you meet to assist you in making the right decisions for you as you set off on a...

    Newbie to the Camino

    Hi Garangy, When I first mentioned my desire to walk the Camino, my husband wasn't full of enthusiasm. Not negative. Just not enthusiastic. I was to travel with my daughter (thus the picture here), but a sudden change in the health of this until-then very healthy man prevented us going at...

    walk the camino from Sarria

    Hi Bill, Just a note to say I hope you and your wife enjoy the planning as much as the journey itself. As a first-timer last September/October I relied so much on the kind of advice you've already received from those who have walked before. Though I'm now home (west coast of Canada), a part...

    When to book Orisson??

    Me again :-). If you haven't already booked something in St Jean ... I can heartily recommend l'Esprit du Chemin. Again, booking sooner than later is best. The welcome pilgrims receive there is memorable for so many reasons ... hospitality, kindness, excellent meals (dinner and breakfast)...

    When to book Orisson??

    Hi there - like others, I'd recommend contacting them now. You're in for a wonderful treat! :-) My night in Orisson in early September (2013) was a wonderful start to the Camino and to friendships that saw me through to Santiago ... and continue to brighten my days now that I'm home.

    Any Canadians? Starting from sjpdp Sept 07.

    See you there! I like the saying that appears under your name. A variation on that theme has become a mantra for me ... even as I walk around the house thinking of those first two days especially. Joan, I keep telling myself: Step at a time ... just keep thinking a step at a time. :-)...

    Class of 2013

    I am so enjoying the sense of calm I'm experiencing as I await my September 5th departure from Vancouver, Canada. I look forward to meeting those who plan to put feet to path in St. Jean a few days later. I had planned to share this experience with my daughter last year. However, my husband...

    Camping Camino and otherwise September 2013!

    Hi Kristy, Another Vancouver "girl" here who is planning to put boots to ground in September. Perhaps we'll meet. In the interim ... enjoy the preparation ... physical and otherwise. (You'll see from the photo that I've taken some liberties with the definition of "girl". :0)

    Class of 2013

    Greetings to my fellow 2013 travellers. I'm feeling strangely calm after having just booked my flight from Vancouver, Canada for early September. Perhaps the calm comes from acting on the dream of walking the Camino ... and because my husband, whose poor health necessitated cancelling plans to...

    Hi Tim, Writing from Comox, BC. While out walking the other day I found myself thinking of you and wondering if you were on your way. How lovely to see your post this morning from Santiago. Though we've never met and may never do so, I wanted you to know that there's a teary-eyed, smiling...
