      I live in Clearwater, FL and have completed the Camino Frances SJPdP to SdC in 2014 and 2015. I keep thinking of when I can go again. One of your postings mentioned a Miami group where 'Camino type walks' are organized. It's just what I need. May I please have their information. Or any other such groups closer to Clearwater. Thanks for any information you have for me.

      Thanks for the info. The terrain on the Camino was just as you explained. Much different from Fl.Our training helped immensely. We really enjoyed the Casa ruals we stayed. Wouldn't change a thing. Sept seems like a great month, so looking repeating then. It truly is difficult to explain to others, but most friends seemed inspired. Thanks again.

      Hey Buddy, this is Roland, Bobby's brother. Just to let you know we just finished our Camino & wanted to thank you so much for taking my call. Your advise & encouagement eased my anxiety. It was the most wonderful experience of my life. You were correct, it is addictive. Already planning a second. Thanks again.

        Good to hear from you. Glad to learn that you had a good time on the Camino. Now you know that it is difficult to explain to anyone. There is a Pilgrim group in Miami, and they organize walks and other get togethers. The leader is a friend. You can contact her: https://www.facebook.com/yosmar.m.martinez?fref=ts
        Please keep in touch, and let me know when you are going back. Regards, Buddy buddy@bandbstuff.com

      I TOO am embarking on my first Camino in September and saw your post about a book that offers info on private lodgings. Would you be able to send the title to me? Many thanks!

      So sorry to hear about Beth's knees! But glad you're taking care! I'm going off-Camino for a bit, due to arthritis in the feet. Will give them a rest & see some new territory, then return to walk either from Triacastela or Sarria to Santiago. Enjoy your last bits of time with the Camino! Kind regards! terry

      Hi Buddy & Beth, alas, I think our paths have crossed! I'm going very slowly this time ~
      I see you left Burgos on 3 Oct - I left on 1 Oct
      Am now in Leon for two days. Hope you two are well, and enjoying every moment!
      Buen Camino! Terry

        Terry, we had to skip ahead due to problems with Beth's knee. We're now in Galicia, and will finish ahead of our schedule. We're making shorter days and Beth is staying fit. Hope you are well and having a good time. My best to you. Buddy

      Hi Buddy, How are your plans and training going? I have just added your email address to my Camino Contacts with a note to be in touch about 30 Sept.
      All the best, Terry

        Hi Terry. We're pushing through with training. Walking in the Florida July heat is a challenge. I think we have all of our gear now, so that eases the mind a little. We'll have our ipads and look forward to hearing from you. Hope our paths cross on the Camino. Best wishes, Buddy and Beth
