    Oh, right. White hair, glasses and I'll try to get a photo up today or tomorrow.

    I'm on track to be in Bordeaux Thursday also, as well as SJPP on Friday, and on the Camino Saturday. I'll be looking for you. :)

    Thanks for your note, KtBoo, I look forward to seeing you there. Yes, I hope the mountain path will be open. I just read your thread question and the responses and am feeling normal to be somewhat anxious, thanks for that. I have walked up to 17 miles in a day, but then needed recovery time...

    Its NOT a 'real' Camino experience if . . .

    Melensdad, you've got this. It's your Camino, and you can even shake off that concern about what others think. Just because we're potential or experienced Camino walkers doesn't mean we all have humility, grace, and compassion for others whose stories and conditions we don't know. Your own...

    Grocery Stores on the Camino Frances

    YES to the advice to greet the shopkeeper on entering the store. In France, some of the "rudeness" tourists complain of is a reaction to the tourist neglecting that initial courtesy -- in other words the tourist started the rudeness (unknowingly), and the local returned it in kind.

    I'm walking, but just doing two hours at this point. I recently visited a podiatrist to inquire whether he thought a custom orthotic would be useful to me (I do get tendonitis sometimes and suspected I needed a good mechanic) and now I'm waiting for the orthotics to arrive before I go past the...

    Delight! Will you walk the first day all the way to Roncesvalles? I'm stopping at Orisson, that's what caution looks like on me. On another note, I have fond memories of visits to Victoria, as I have a relative with a home on Orcas Island.

    Start date May 16 from SJPDP (for calendar entry)

    Hi, Angela, will you spend the previous night in SJPDP or will you arrive there and begin hiking immediately? I'll be at Beilari that previous night. You say we, so how many are you? I'm solo ... unless a California friend who hopes to join me makes it. But they say no one walks the Camino...

    Thank you to all for support in the informative, light hearted, rational, and whimsical posts that have helped me get organized and commit to walking the Camino. I will begin walking from SJPDP on May 16. My present home is Florida (grandchildren live there, a powerful magnet) although at heart...
