Different Camino Routes
I don't have any problem with them, I too find them amusing. What I need to get past is their tendency to sometimes preach to others. I mean, it is no one's business how many stops I choose to make. But most I meet along the Road make it totally worth it. Ana- expatana

Different Camino Routes
Of course, I do remember that German peregrino who waxed eloquent about the 40K stages he was doing. A strapping young guy, I heard it several times from him: "Yesterday I did 40Ks and the day before ..." So it seems sometimes there's an element of sport in it.

Intro: planning my third
Hello all, I've just signed on. I'm Ana from California, currently staying in Pennsylvania. I did my first Camino in 2000 after nearly 25 years of thinking about it.
