We are planning to leave SJPdP on May 30 as well!!! I'm looking forward to meeting you. Are you going straight through to Roncevalles? We are staying at Orisson.
Haha! Yes! Walk everywhere! I teach school two miles from where I live (no sidewalks) and when I was training, I walked to school many times. Inevitably, a student or co-worker would stop and ask me if I needed a ride!
Since August, 2017 when I arrived in SdC from SJPP, I have sworn every day that I wouldn't do it again. Ever.
And....now the Norte is looking very possible for Summer 2021. Hendaye to SdC
Oh yes! The one on the right under the ruins at San Anton! I think the owner's name is Angel. He asked me where I was from, started singing "Georgia, Georgia" to me. Then he asked me to marry him. I found out later he asks every female to marry him.
My brother went through there the year...
I weighed myself the day I left and the day I got home. I weighed exactly the same. To the ounce!!! Lol After literally walking 500 miles!
So much good food in Spain.
I love this story! I mostly stayed in private rooms, as well. Booking.com is excellent.
I remember walking down the mountain from the Cruz de Ferro into Molinaseca. There was a man on the bridge welcoming pilgrims. Turns out I was staying at his place that night. Hotel Casa san Nicolas...
Math teacher. I said several times that I did more math on my camino than I have my whole life-converting kilometers to miles in my head and then converting my time back to EST.
If you let graffiti get to you, you will hate every second of the Frances. It's pervasive. I've never seen graffiti like this in my life. For me it was best to embrace it and look for the messages and the fun. :)
Elvis loves you. One month before I left, we had just gotten a class pet....a California King Snake we named Elvis. It was soooo fun running into these rocks along the Way. I even carried one home with me and put in his tank. :)
My pilgrimage was June/July of 2017 and I found that a lot of people stopped early in order to get out of the heat. Being from Georgia-The Deep South-my idea of heat was different than theirs. I often walked through the afternoon and enjoyed having the trail to myself.
