[QUOTE="cecelia, post: 108616, member: 2489"] Hi Rob, My best advice after trusting what you know about your own body for decisions about shoes/boots, clothes etc. is just to take it easy and enjoy the experience as it comes. You've given yourself lots of time so take it. Don't get caught up in the rush for beds. Don't hurry to keep up with a new friend. There will be many faster than you and some slower. Honour your own pace. Stop and take your boots off two or three times a day and catnap if you feel like it. And I agree with others above - learn a few words of Spanish - if only hello, please and thank you. The camino is not like climbing Mt. Everest (not that I've done that!). The camino is about endurance. At our age (I've walked 4 caminos in my 60's) we take it slowly - walk like the proverbial turtle- but we make it because we've learned to keep on keeping on. From now until you leave keep building that endurance but don't wear yourself out. It is truly glorious to give this gift to yourself! Buen camino. [/QUOTE]
