    A funny story...

    How funny!! When I told my 2 sons I'll walk the Camino Frances in 2013 from SJPP by myself here's their response: Oldest son: you won't make it, Mom-that's a lot of walking at your age (I was a young 69 yo). Son #2: if you really want to do it Mom go for it -just be careful. Oldest son: ok...

    Bring extra tips for trekking poles?

    I used pacer poles on the Frances from SJPP to Santiago. I brought an extra pair of rubber tips but never had to use them-lost them in Pamplona. The original metal & rubber tips lasted all the way to Santiago and I usually put the rubber tips over the metal ones especially on slippery pavements...

    Denise's mother's prayer

    As a mother who also lost a daughter, albeit to cancer, I can feel the heartache & pain Denise's mother feels right now. I pray that God give her and her family strength, comfort and peace.

    Paulo Coelho didn´t complete his Camino

    Yes, " A Walk in the Woods" made me laugh so hard. To this day if I want to laugh I'd pull Bryson's book & read it again.

    Hiking poles recommendation.

    When I got my pacer poles in the mail they already have rubber tips attached to the metal tips + a pair of extra rubber tips & a pair to use in the snow. I did not need the extra pair but I'm glad I brought them because I lost 2 rubber tips-must have fallen off my backpack waist pockets. Buen...

    Things the Camino needs more of

    I carried a trowel with me on my Camino. Fortunately only had to use it only a few times as there's always a bar, restaurant nearby where I can buy something & not feel guilty using their toilets. I also learned to "do my thing" before leaving the albergues which tied me over for a few hours...

    Why are you walking so slow, or did you train for this?

    Gerrydel.... So proud of you! One of the things I learned from my Camino was patience, patience, patience. Before my Camino I would have answered those rude & inconsiderate questions with "what is it to you or none of your blinking business, walk your Camino not mine, who made you the Camino...

    How Fit Were You at the Start?

    Hi Katie51- I agree with you-I bought a small pack of lambswool from the drugstore here in Indy to add to my first aid kit, very inexpensive. I was glad I did. When my left toe was sore I'd wrap it with a thin layer of lambswool, then taped it. It really helped avoiding blisters. On my next...
