My son and I start our Camino in Sarria! I have been planning and hoping for this day for a very long time. I had wanted to do the whole thing, and I will some day. That caused me to delay the plans due to family, work etc. This July I saw the tickets to Spain go on sale, and bought them...
I would do a couple things 1) try out my rain gear. 2) do some video/other type of exercise. 3) celebrate the rain for all of is in drought!

I am both ordained and Spanish...but I only give this response from my mother's perspective (she was from Southern Spain). Always great everyone with the utmost respect which in Spain is Usted...and acknowledge them with a full greeting, not a nod, or a brisk Hola etc. But actually looking at...
Hola Kristina!
I am a native Spanish speaker who has lived in the US most of her life. What I recommend you do is two things 1) remember that a language is like a muscle - use it or lose it! 2) There are many people who speak Spanish in the US. Spend time practicing with them and let them...
