    did you need medical care on and after the camino

    On m first camino 1991, my anckles were so swollen I could not put my shoes back...I stood under the only tree in Atapuerca, surrounded by locals.

    To: St. Jean from Mtl, Canada and getting back from where???

    Do not just begin in Pamplona. you will miss a great beginning...plus Pamplona is always a huge distraction that sets the tone...there is no immediate plunge into the Camino if you begin by Pamplona, but rather a delay illusion of the Camino for a few more days...also the climb from st Jean...

    The Camino Is Not For Everyone

    How I always felt about that is perhaps a bit too subjective and even considered as "superstitious" by some...but somehow that is my feeling I would say after some 43 years linked to the Camino one way or the other..I have done it in three occasions...the first time i was not even planning to...
