Unfortunately, I was not able to do my pilgrimage this year. I had a small stroke that resulted in a bad fall, breaking my jaw. Almost recovered now but I still have my jaw wired shut for 2 more weeks (rubber bands, not wires). But I was blessed that the stroke left no lasting handicap and I...
Yes! What's up with the weather? I am in San Jose for a few weeks for work and it seems to be raining every day. Never seen that happen this time of year before.
I think we will probably cross paths along the way for sure since we are only one day apart. Your schedule is very similar to mine so far. I have only 20 days so I am debating how to cover that much distance (obviously only parts of it since I can't fly :-) ). I wish I had more time but I have...
I can't resist the urge to do it again! :) I have only 20 days so I definitely need to be creative...Although I am not concerned about the credentials as much as I am the spiritual experience.
If any females out there starting the same time feels nervous starting out, I would be happy to start...
Hi Celine, I hope you got in either some good walking days or are resting and enjoying life. Just found out I’m moving back to Austria. Shame the timing wasn’t better or I would have walked a day or two with you for morale support. (Imagine the runners behind Forest Gump and that would be me) :-)
So as expected, I've changed my mind. I'm having a lot of mental distress over doing just the minimum. In reading about how we should think and consider why we are making the Pilgrimage, I've realized I can't allow myself to do just the minimum.
As everyone says, we must make the journey that...
Bel, are you kidding me? San Antonio? My son lives near Austin and I lived there for two years back around 2000. My daughter lives in Dallas. I will follow your posts once we get in Spain so we will know if we are near each other. And I can be found on FB using the name Debra Speed.

Hi Belinda (bel?)
I am debating on if I want to start at Astorga or Ponferrada. I am so torn. I want to do as much as I can but I am limited on time. I have also thought about changing my return flight so I don't need to go back to Barcelona (and add an extra day) but I will no doubt change my...
Ha ha, Ah ok so I learn something new every day! Thanks for the correction and lesson. Very interesting.
I will see what I can find in boots and do some trial walking and see what I think. I hate to lug a pair with me if they don't work for me.
Thanks for the information!!
Ultreia,
Really? I hadn't noticed that you are in Slovenia! I live in Munich so I always drive to Villach but a lot of the guys I work with fly in from the US and always fly into Ljubljana. They tell me that Slovenia is prettier than Austria. Some day I will do a roadtrip that way.
Gosh, I...
Thanks for all of the advice and links! I have a lot of planning to do!
What are the chances for getting a bus if I book at the same day? I tend to plan everything down to the last detail but I am trying to avoid that this time because I do tend to change my mind and lose the money.
I was in...
