Hi Paul,

Well done !
As a virgin walker I am curious for some impressions of your experience. And can you voice what is firing your motivation towards another camino.

thank you Paul and I do realise how subtle some impressions/experiences can be.......and therefore difficult to voice.

But you seemed to have gained a lot and certainly my desire too is for time alone ......... but not 'scary' alone :lol:

I like that you discovered that "You Love to Walk" !!! and the sense of simplicity, being in the NOW moment.

I think that 'giving and receiving' can't be separated and although much of life/partnership is done at a bargaining level of (un)consciousness, hopefully the Camino offers a heightened awareness as to the 'domino effect' one is always creating.

I really do need to set a date...

well i did the camino frances in 2006 and had an amazing time , met fantastic people, incredible weather. this year 2007 was a TOTAL different experience on the camino norte. (very few people) i believe this is what a TRUE PILGRIMage is all about. Really getting in touch with oneself. I am TOTALLY ADDICTED, and i am looking at walking for 3 months next year. for me, it is to experience something new every day, to be GRATEFUL for everything, and appreciate all the little things. It is wonderful to focus on what we are grateful for rather than what we lack, and as a pilgrimage i walk with so little. To me this is VERY EXCITING.

Hi, Pablo.

just one thing ... Consider to carry at least two litres of water ... a lot of hot and quite big distances between towns.

And muy Buen Camino,
