Tia, you have great information. Dinosaur footprints...Roman ruins, Paleolithic Caves and the beauty of Spain. It all seems like gravy to this anthropologist on top of the deep spiritual experience. I have been talking to former Pilgrims in my area and most of them have done 2 or 3 Camino's...
Tia thanks for your info. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you,,I have a hard time finding out when people respond to my posts. I will be doing the Camino Frances so I will have to detour up to Altamira. I know the cave is closed I just want to see where it is. I lectured about the...
Tim, I am planning to leave from St. Jean about Aug. 31st so I may see you along the way. I am still very overweight but am beginning to train physically, and also to learn Spanish. Jenny
Ellen, we may overlap. I am an anthropologist by training and I want to detour up to Altamira to see the caves which may add a week to my journey. I also want to go to Muxia and Finisterre at the end. Do they have a Canadian Pilgrims of the Camino group in Alberta? They just started an American...
Ellen, I am 56 and plan to walk the Camino solo too. The Camino definitely "called" to me, 3 months ago it wasn't even on my mind and then I saw "The Way" and realized I wanted to do it. It had been buried on my life list and forgotten as I raised my kids (10 years ago I read Shirley MacLaines...
Kay, I am going to walk the Camino Frances starting Aug 31, 2012. You sound like you are in way better shape than I am at 56. I am starting to train and learn Spanish so hopefully I will be ready by then. I live in Vancouver, Washington and I have been contacting anyone who says they are going...
Camelle, I just checked the post and saw that you are planning a Sept/Oct Camino. I live in Vancouver, Washington (not B.C.) and I plan to leave St. Jean Pied du Port on Aug 31 (it is a full moon that night and for some reason that seems a cool time to start a journey). Let me know if we might...
Mary, I am also going to walk the Camino Frances starting August 31, 2012 if all things go as planned...which I know they often don't! I am trying to connect with folks who will be there when I am. I live in Vancouver, Washington. When are you thinking of going? Jenny
Keith, thanks for the tip, it is a very helpful link. I won't know if I am going for sure (maybe by bus!
who knows) until I get to Santiago, but I wanted to be prepared. Thanks, jenny
I am hoping to do the Camino Frances next September and want to go all the way from Santiago de
Compostela to Muxia or Finisterra. There seems to be little information about the distance and conditions along the way. Can anyone give me info about the route and compare Muxia to Finisterra...
Yikes! Well I will just have to see...I have trekked some many years ago and know it is what it is. Thanks for your sage advice and lets hope it is a dry year! Jenny
I am sure it will be perfect timing for you, things always seem to work out the way they are supposed to. I haven't started getting gear yet, but will start Spanish lessons in a week! Have a wonderful Camino. Jenny
