    LIVE from the Camino Jlkennedy's Camino Diary

    Hello everyone. This is Jlkennedy. A few weeks ago I thought for sure that I was not going to be able to do the Camino this summer, since we have been doing major construction on my house and my wife is now just passing being three months pregnant! But, she and my family have encouraged me to...

    Introduction - Jlkennedy

    Today (June 19 2005) I bought my plane tickets for Spain to do the Camino! I am very excited.

    Doing the Camino in 2005

    I first did the Camino in 1999 from Roncevailles to Santiago. I knew nothing about it, other than my friend Matt saying it would be really fun and cheap. I had no idea what I was in for, but I was sold on it. I did it again in 2001 (the same route). I did it again in 2002 with my buddy Jim...

    El Camino de Santiago

    I would like to hear what others have to say about doing the Camino. I have done it three times and plan to do it again this summer. It is a passion I have. Here is a thought; finally getting to Santiago is the ultimate anti-climatic experience. Pilgrims spend many days walking hundreds on...
