I walked with my husband this past May/June. At times, we would walk separately to be with our own thoughts or chatting with different fellow pilgrims. We would meet up and find our place.
To be honest, I hadn't considers the camino without him as it was our dream to do it together. I...
I took my iPhone and was glad I did. I rarely used it on the trail. An occasional beautiful view I wanted to capture; never for music as I wanted to engage with fellow pilgrims. In the evenings, I would check email/FB quickly (if free Wifi) to update family and friends then back to socializing...
I enjoyed browsing your page! My page is a bit of everything as well. I'm slowly making my way through our adventure from May/June. Here was one of my favorite locations. Hope to walk it again.

Still working on updating from my experience of the Camino. There are a few ones from right after I arrived back home. I think I've been mourning my time there. Hope to return soon!

I guess I would say start in Sarria and walk to the end. It's epic to end in Santiago since this is where everyone is walking towards. That being said, I think overall my favorite portion was the start from St. Jean Pied de Port to as far as you can go. You will go through Roncesvalles...
You could always stay in a B&B. My husband and I stayed at Maison DonMaria before heading out. The owner was absolutely amazing and I truly wish we would've been able to stay more than one night. His place is a pleasant walk down the river from the actual city. Rooms were comfortable. I...
Remain positive and keep planning your Camino. My husband and I had originally planned our Camino for 2008. We had to cancel the night prior to flying out due to work obligations. It became one of our biggest regrets so this past May, we decided to make it happen. We were unable to walk the full...
We purchased a bug retardent similar to this one (http://www.rei.com/product/768970/sawyer-permethrin-pump-spray-24-oz) and submerged the fitted twin bedsheet in them. After it had fully dried, we ran it through the wash (no detergent; water only) to remove excess and then let it dry. It worked...
My husband and I were slightly freaked out by all the posts about bed bugs. We decided to play it safe and bought a cheap fitted twin-bed sheet which we treated with bug killer prior to departing for the Camino. While many of the albergues were clean and probably unnecessary, we had it with us...
TammyLynn,
I definitely think your friend will be with you along the trail. My mother passed away over 8 years ago. I often feel her presence around me but not as consistently as I did along the Camino. There has always been "signs" that I know she's around such as a hummingbird, certain...
We started in SJPdP this past May 20 and the Napoleon route was closed. There had been a bad snow storm a few days before. Based on the people in the village, I totally understand why the Pilgrims Office has to take a stance one way or another; they deemed it closed. That being said, our B&B...
Still writing and posting about my Camino experience this past May/June. We were only able to do about 300km of the Camino Frances. It definitely wasn't enough and I hope to return. Here was one of those special moments from the start of the trip. I hope you enjoy....Courtney...
