We made it! Left Astorga on July 12 and arrived in Santiago on the 23. It was an experience like no other. For 2 fifty-something ladies with no walking experience we did incredibly well. Not a blister or a fall. The first two days climbing were difficult, but afterwards, we felt like...

If I go to Moissac, from which I am very close, do you think I might be able to obtain a letter of introduction from a priest there? I wll not be going back to CA until December.
Thanks to all who have replied to my post. This is just great!!! Since we do want to see Leon, we will try to get the bus to Astorga and begin our walk from there. I am in France right now and will be probably leaving from Bordeaux. My friend will meet me in Spain. She is coming from U.S.A.
There will be two of us doing that part of the trail. We are not seasoned walkers. Does anyone know if it could be done in about 12 days? We have also thought about doing some of it by bus, if necessary. Can anyone help?
