    "A Journey of Spiritual Significance"

    Sillydoll wrote _ (in thread : Walking the Camino over the age of 60 yrs. ) *********Sometimes the camino calls, but while you are walking it, it is just a long, hard, slog! It is often difficult to have profound thoughts whilst watching where you put your feet. If you don't concentrate, you...

    plantar fasciitis

    Hi Clarisa, Sorry to hear your devastating news. I join you - but for me it is due to a 'break-down' at the top end. Since March 07 I have had a jaw/tooth problem. Seems simply enough but after a endless and fruitless seven-month round of 'pass her along' among professionals I remain unable...

    Planning for a trip May/June 2008
