    LIVE from the Camino Ethics Question -- to walk or not to walk?

    Grousedoctor, I appreciate your post more than I think I can express at this late hour (1am in Spain!). It's a good reminder that I need to get back into therapy when I get back to the States. It's difficult to keep track of other people's transference, much less your own. I think I need to...

    LIVE from the Camino Ethics Question -- to walk or not to walk?

    @dougfitz and @Kobe I really appreciate both of your perspectives here. Obviously, if she was massively injured I would end my Camino immediately to attend to her needs. Since this is a minor injury that should heal itself soonish, I think the two quotes below are the key. I want to walk. I...

    LIVE from the Camino Ethics Question -- to walk or not to walk?

    Thanks for these questions! This is exactly why I wanted to post about this situation on the forum. My wife and I have been debating/arguing about this as if it were a black and white issue. Folks on here came with a more practical perspective. I think the resounding question I am hearing from...

    She doesn't want me to experience something that she won't.

    LIVE from the Camino Ethics Question -- to walk or not to walk?

    She is Mexican, I'm a Gringo. I can hold my own in Spanish, but she can of course discuss the most obscure topics with a university professor. We both have PhDs in Latin American history.

    LIVE from the Camino Ethics Question -- to walk or not to walk?

    Well, no. We purposely bought her shoes a size and a half bigger. She had on cotton socks for the first two days instead of the Darn Toughs I bought her.

    LIVE from the Camino Ethics Question -- to walk or not to walk?

    Hi everyone! My wife and I just started the Frances this past weekend. This is her first Camino, but this is number 2 for me. Our first day from SJPDP to Rocenvalles was uneventful, but she got a blister on her pinky toe on Day 2 while descending into Zubriri (those darn rocks!). I remained...

    LIVE from the Camino I injured myself coming into Pamplona a few days ago...

    Hey all, thanks for your love, well wishes, and prayers. After a few days of rest, I continued on my journey and arrived successfully in Santiago on June 15th. I then continued on with some new and old friends alike to Finisterre and Muxia. I just got back to Chicago after a few days of downtime...

    LIVE from the Camino I injured myself coming into Pamplona a few days ago...

    I'll be honest here. The pain from losing friends and being forced to stop hurts more than my leg. I am really not feeling the Camino spirit anymore. People I've met along the way aren't responding to my messages. My family and friends back home just don't get it. One abbot got back to me saying...

    Hey Laurie, Many thanks for the leads. Hopefully, I am able to keep on my journey even though I won't be walking. All my best, Nick

    LIVE from the Camino I injured myself coming into Pamplona a few days ago...

    I just arrived in Navarette after battling through a leg injury for a few days now. At a minimum, I think I need to take a week-long break from the Camino. Does anyone have a recommendation on where I might do so? I would be particularly interested in doing a retreat at a monestary if anyone has...

    Starting on the 15th (May 2019)

    I commend your packing! I leave in 2 days and I WAY over-packed. I need to start cutting items quickly.

    What city do you arrive in after 2 weeks of walking from SJPdP?

    Thanks! I can walk as slow or fast as necessary. I am fairly fit and have walked 30+ km days on other trails. That being said, my friend will only be able to join me for a few days, so I would like to meet him somewhere interesting.

    What city do you arrive in after 2 weeks of walking from SJPdP?

    Hey all, I am walking the CF in early May and I am trying to coordinate with a friend who will be meeting me 2 weeks into my journey. What city or town are you in after 13 days of walking starting in SJPdP?

    3 May 2019 Camino Frances reattempt from SJPdP

    I will be walking from Lourdes to SJPdP starting around May 7th and then onto SDC and Finisterre! I'm sure we might run into each other at some point. Buen Camino!

    Anyone planning to walk the Camino in May 2019

    I am looking to start on 8 May in SJPdP. I was originally going to walk this past December, but my dissertation got in the way.

    Planning on Walking the Camino Frances during Dec/Jan, 2018/19

    Good to know! I was planning on following the traditional route to a T. How was it during Christmas time? Did villages have trees, nativity scenes, or other decorations up?

    Is this the inner experience?

    I am wrestling with the emotions you are describing in your post right now. I am in the process of planning my camino and I found myself asking: "What is it that I am looking for?" Why do I feel so lost?" "Who am I? I'm hoping my journey will grant me the self-discovery I so desperately need...
