    Type 2 Diabetic on the Camino

    Hi All- I’d like to hear from someone who walked the Camino who had similar health issues. Of course I’m feeling itchy about walking the Camino again, only this time I’ll be 12 years older (65) and a Type 2 Diabetic. I’m a little nervous about my feet. So far, I’ve had no issues at all but...

    Forty Days to Santiago book

    I have published my journal from my Camino in Summer 2012. It definitely was a spiritual journey for me and the writing has strong spiritual overtones. Just letting everyone know how grateful I am for all of you and the gift of the Camino. This book was the answer to a prayer from almost 45...

    I will be walking Finisterre route in July, starting and ending in Santiago, and then I will be taking a side trip to Sintra, Portugal. Can anyone advise on the best/quickest/least expensive way to get to Sintra and back to Santiago? Where would I pick up the bus or train in Santiago? ANY...

    Walking to Finisterra but need advice RE: Portugal

    I will be adding on to last year's Camino by walking from Santiago around the coast at the end of July, then plan to take some time to visit Portugal. I know nothing about the train system. I want to get from Santiago to Lisbon (Sintra) and then work my way back up to Santiago over about a...

    Lodging in Santiago

    I will be returning to Santiago in July to walk to Finestera/Muxia. Can anyone recommend good, inexpensive lodging near the cathedral? I don't want a high end hotel but rather inexpensive quaint hotels or hostels. I will wait to enjoy the pilgrim albergues once I start my walk, unless there...

    Walking Santiago-Finnesterra -Muxia

    I walked SJPP to Santiago last summer. Next year I would like to finish by going to the coast, and my daughter and her husband would like to go with me. If we BEGIN in Santiago and walk a circuitous route to Finnesterra/Muxia then back to Santiago, could we get a Credential and stay at the...

    An Invitation.....

    This is an invitation to all of you who have been so supportive these last 11 months as I began a new adventure in this life I can now call my Camino. On my blog I will be giving a detailed account of my 40 days to Santiago and would love it if you felt compelled to go with me on the journey...

    Pilgrim Blessing

    On the Camino, there were several masses I attended where, at the end, the pilgrims were given a blessing. I am wondering if this is a specific blessing or one that each priest just says himself. If it is specific, can anyone write me an English translation? Thank you so much! - Monica :arrow:

    Now what?????

    I made my first trip to Europe, alone, to walk the Camino from SJPP to Santiago, and returned to the States July 12. I now have a problem. I'm already itching for my next adventure, which more than likely will be sometime between May 30-Aug 1, 2013 (I'm a teacher), and don't know if there is...

    Camino Support Group....

    I left for the Camino on May 26 and returned home July 12. Since then I have been writing and rewriting, documenting every detail I can remember of my beautiful journey.

    Soliciting input re: sleeping bag....

    I plan to walk May 28-July 6 and am wondering if I can leave my sleeping bag at home and in place bring two silk sleep sacks - one is mummy style and the other rectangular. It would sure save on space/weight if I can do without it! The silk can be pretty warm, combined with a fleece and...

    One week until departure

    I leave next week for Paris and begin my walk on May 28 from SJPP. The past few days I sense the fear is releasing itself and I have begun having dreams of personal significance and moments of deep insight. While my journey began in November, when the Camino first placed itself on my heart...

    Who's an expert on getting around Paris?

    After my camino, I will be flying back from Santiago into Orly. My daughter will be meeting me in Paris and flying into CDG. I am thinking the best place for us to meet up would be in Montparnasse area as that would be easiest for her. I am wondering the best transportation to get me from...

    Air travel from Santiago back to Paris

    I know there was information somewhere on this, but I can't recall the airline. I think someone said it was about $100. Also, can I book the flight the same day since right now I am not sure if I will want to continue on to Finesterra/Muxia or what day I will be ready to head back to Paris...

    Moving forward; upward......

    "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk to blossom." -Anais Nin I just booked my night at Orisson! How liberating to risk; to commit!! I just needed to share with those who would understand. - M :arrow:

    Orisson: To stop or not to stop?

    I am debating on whether or not to stop for the night in Orisson or to continue to Roncesvalles on Day One. On the one hand, I don't want to push my self too fast, on the other, Orisson does not seem like much of a push for the first day. I don't want to regret booking ahead and paying for a...
