Hello!
I've dreamt of walking the camino since meeting boy in my early twenties (now my husband) who had just done it and felt so passionate about it. We have three kids now and I'd assumed I'd have to wait to hike till they were older or even when my husband and I are retired! But! My children are now in school and I have found myself with a bit of time in between full time mothering and going to grad school. My husband is super supportive of me going and my children have read enough stories about following your dreams that they are excited about it too. But my only chance to walk is starting in early March.
I've read all that I can find about it but wondering about your experiences personally - are there enough people on the trail to feel camaraderie? Is it at all green (I love green and I am assuming I will miss out on much)? Still enjoyable although freezing? A curious question - are you able to dry your wet and muddy clothes? I'd love to hear anything you have to say about walking in March.
This is my only chance so I think I have to do it, right? I have a flight saved that expires in 5 hours so I'd like to decide by then. I guess what I am hoping for is to head to work right now and come back and see more seasoned travelers telling me that it is totally possible. Thanks for reading, thanks in advance for your help and so sorry if this is not posted in the right place.
