    Intro / seeking info on study tours

    51-year-old Spanish teacher from the U.S. here (Portland, Maine). Attended summer courses at the Universidad de Santiago de Compostela in 2002 and loved it there. Have wanted to return and do the Camino ever since. Planning on June 2008! I am considering hooking up with a study or tour...
