    The Pre-Camino Time Warp Begins

    My countdown is nearly over. A week from today I will be on the plane to Lisbon and Porto. Finally printed my packing list and laid everything out yesterday figuring if I had forgotten something obvious I could see it and still get it in time. Decided to back off of the training this week to...

    If you set out as a walker, did you become a pilgrim?

    Very interesting! I am a philosopher and I am an ordained minister although that was not my career. I was a professor. I look forward to that added element you both describe as I begin my Camino from Porto in just 3 weeks.

    Camino in September or October

    Interesting points: 1. Your feet WILL get we whatever you do. I don't suppose that's a problem unless the extra water causes chafing and blisters. 2. Pants better for cold and wind.... Which is what I might find on coastal route in October.

    Camino in September or October

    Terrific advice, thanks! I will be walking the coastal route in Portugal from September 23rd until mid-october. I was debating the rain issue.
