    Le Puy and Frances compared

    Hi John, I walked the camino frances in 2013, my first pilgrimage! Now I am considering doing the le Puy with a galfriend of mine. I am considering this because of the new adventure, but at the same time I will very much miss the frances. I wonder about the availability of food on the le puy...

    Horseback Vega de Valcarce to O Cebreiro

    I got a horse from Las Herrerias to OCebriero last summer. It was so fun! I did it on a whim. It cost me $25 euros I think. They split up the cost between the four of us who happened to be going up at the same time.

    Places to linger a while...

    Karen, I just completed my first Camino on June 23, and being nervous about getting a bed and not knowing was one of my biggest fears. But this turned out to be one the the most fun things for me. Leaving it to God to provide each day--which He did, most beautifully--and always each day I looked...

    Kilts for Men - Clothing insights for the Newbie

    My new friend Ted from Scotland wore a kilt on his Camino a few months ago. Perhaps you would like to email him. He did great, and we had a snowstorm in Roncesvalles in late May.

    It's been an entire year and I'm feeling ready to go back

    Love the video! I've been home from my first Camino for just one month. I miss it so much. Maybe another one in a year or two...

    European electric socket

    I have a question about this power converting issue: do our US cell phones actually require the power conversion as well as the adaptor to the Euopean outlet? or just the adaptor to the outlet? Thanks!

    Something I upgraded to, and liked.

    Hi! I can't see the pics you guys have uploaded. Can you send me links to some of the women's Crocs you are talking about that would be good for my second pair of shoes? I am only 3 weeks away from my Camino! I swore I'd never wear Crocs but who am I to argue with the genius of so many...

    Journaling on the Camino

    I've been pondering this too and have decided to bring my very lightweight and small digital recorder on my Camino this May and June. It has a ton of memory and I can easily record my thoughts as they pop up. If I can remember to state the date and locations, that will be even better. Writing in...

    I'm going on my first Camino this May and June 2013. Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez and their film The Way got me started--they were here in person to debut their film at our Heartland Film Festival in Indianapolis. Here's my blog. http://schwindythings.tumblr.com/

    Train schedule from Bayonne to St Jean?

    Can anyone supply a web link that lists the train schedules from Bayonne to St Jean? I am arriving in Biarritz on May 15, 2013, at 1230 on Ryanair. I am having trouble finding the train schedule for May to St Jean. Thanks in advance! I did search the forum and tried many links that didn't work...

    Tickets Bought! May - June 2013

    My plans changed--I'm doing the whole freakin' thing starting from St Jean on morning of May 17. I will be staying at L'Esprit du Chemin the night of May 16. (flying in to Biarritz May 15 and will stay that night possibly in St Jean de Luz). I will have my forum patch and my ruby red Deuter...

    Backpacks and poles = check or carry on?

    do you think it's worth it for me to check a bag on Ryanair just to bring two trekking poles (they are nice titanium poles). Counting both there and back flights it would be a total of 55 euros. Would I be able to find a set of good trekking poles once on the Camino for less than that? also...

    To experience some of France: Biarritz or St Jean?

    Thank you all for the ideas! I am liking the thought of trying out a few places. Perhaps arrive in Biarritz, zip over to St-Jean-de-Luz, stay there a night, then to StJPDP for the next night, then Camino the following morning. Is it easy to catch buses or trains? In other words, do I have to...

    To experience some of France: Biarritz or St Jean?

    Hello! I am very excited to be doing my first Camino beginning with a May 15 arrival in Biarritz. This is actually my first time ever in Europe too, and I wanted to add a day of sightseeing/rest before starting my Camino. The question: Should I stay in Biarritz for a day, or Saint Jean? What...
