    Having a hard time

    I did the Camino Frances in 2014 and 2017, I can't wait to get back. Planning to start at Puy en Velay and reach Finistere in 2021 when I retire. Thank God for the forum, no one around me wants to hear about it anymore, at least here I can relive my caminos through others efforts.
