that is so sad- and to limit backpacks from going in is very hard on incoming pilgrims, who not yet have their lodging. What is the world coming to when we have security alerts in churches?
take care of your feet as much as possible. I ended up carrying my boots and wearing my trainers-- tennis shoes. I walked in May and June of this year. Go slowly and take as many days as possible. Take lots of pictures. Keep a diary, I took an ipad mini, which worked out great. Love yourself...
I took an Ipad mini. I loved it. I used it for pictures, and blogging. I was also able to facetime with my family whenever there was wifi, which was readily available. I kept it in a pouch, off of waist pack, and it was easily accessible for everything I needed, and it also kept it safe. the...
I'm glad for you- that you have found someone. And- no I am not surprised. Why don't you come on over to visit John and I and bring her? Maybe after the holidays. A little Florida with boll weevils and all, might be what you need.
take care- have a great week. I'm doing a little camino talk on...
Nice Post Allan--
I think of my time walking with you on the camino often, and I miss the camino everyday. It was also life-changing for me, and I hope to return soon to walk again, although I have other "bucket list" experiences I want to try to accomplish. I agree with you, that our life...
Thanks Falcon, I've just set it up.. I think it looks ok, please feel free to make any corrections, or let me know if you see anything I have left out.
Hi Tampa Bay and Florida pilgrims--
there will be a camino get together on Sunday, October 27th at 1 pm in Sarasota.
There will be many who have done the camino in the past and many who are planning it for the future.
the location is:
Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club. 7650 Legacy...
the weather this spring was cold. All of the Spanish people complained about the cold. Although I'm from Florida, it was so much easier to walk when it's chilly- I'm talking mid 50's in the am, sometimes colder, and usually mid 60's by end of the day. there were some mornings when I wore all of...
Hi - I just did the camino this past spring- left Florida on May 5th and arrived home on June 20th.
feel free to email me here, or check out my blog -- jonionthecamino.blogspot.org hope this helps.. and enjoy..
I agree - the movie introduced me to the camino, and helped me to realize that this is something I wanted to do. For a long time, I have wanted to do something alone, spiritual, where I would totally give up myself in order to renew. I have had many past hurts in my life, not many tragedies...
Hi everyone-
My reservations are made and I am flying from Florida, USA to Madrid and then on to Pamplona on May 2nd.
I will stay the night in Pamplona on May 3rd to rest up and then work my way to St Jean. I will start my walk on Sunday, May 5th and have already made reservations at Orisson...
We will be staying in Pamplona for our first night in Spain after traveling from the U.S. Does anyone have a suggestion on where we can stay-- preferably low- mid cost hotel- where we can get a good nights sleep but be with walking distance to the bus station so we can get to Roncellvelles the...
My husband and I have booked our tickets from Florida, USA to Pamplona for May 2nd- will start walking on May 5th! We are so excited and ready to start.
I have been reading on this forum for over a year and now reality is starting to happen- yeah!
