    16th August - 25 years ago in Santiago

    Great comparison shots, thanks for posting this! So much has changed so quickly.

    Starting from St Jean Pied de Port September 15th

    You're journey has almost begun! I started in St Jean last year around this time; it's a beautiful time of year to walk. It sounds like you're preparing well, so don't be too nervous!

    Beautiful sentiment, great pics, and an epic journey! Congrats on completing it.

    29 Nationalities I Met on the Camino (Map)

    Thanks for the stats Johnny! It's very interesting to see the differences in a holy year - most of the pilgrim increase seems to be from from Spain itself, and it appears more people are leaving from Sarria and other shorter routes than in previous years. Awesome stuff!

    29 Nationalities I Met on the Camino (Map)

    I felt selfish before, so here's a distribution map of ALL the Camino pilgrim nationalities: http://walkingthecamino.wordpress.com/2 ... -from-map/ (Click through to my blog for a bigger image)

    29 Nationalities I Met on the Camino (Map)

    Hmmm... not sure how to find that out. The link I posted has a list of each nationality represented on the Camino itself: (http://www.archicompostela.org/Peregrin ... CIONALIDAD As for the number of different nationalities on this site, you might want to ask Ivar: member2.html Or you could...

    29 Nationalities I Met on the Camino (Map)

    Shoot! You would have made the number an even 30, Anna. I hope you had a great Camino.

    29 Nationalities I Met on the Camino (Map)

    You never run out of interesting new people to meet, that's for sure. I walked the Camino Frances last September/October.

    29 Nationalities I Met on the Camino (Map)

    Here's a map I made of the 29 nationalities I met on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage: http://walkingthecamino.wordpress.com/2 ... amino-map/ I wrote down the nationality of every pilgrim I happened to run across on my pilgrimage. Does anyone know of a map showing every nationality that...

    My Camino De Santiago on film

    Amazing tribute to your mother. I'm sure your mother would be proud.

    hallo and diet

    I often carried around uncooked rice and beans. High calorie content, relatively cheap, and not heavy considering how long it lasts. Even smaller supermarkets seem to carry these basic staples.

    SJPDP vs Roncesvalles & getting there from Canada

    The Pyrenees are too beautiful to pass up, in my opinion. And look at it this way: if you start in SJPDP, you will experience the greatest climb in elevation the Camino has to offer. Everything is (almost literally) downhill from there. If you can complete the first day, you gain the mental...

    Hawaiian Pilgrim - Newbie

    Aloha Elaine! You might want to check out a Eurail pass to avoid train hassles: http://www.ricksteves.com/rail/ There are a ton of different pass options depending on your needs - including flexible dates and multinational travel. My girlfriend and I would take a day off from the albergues...

    Barefoot on the Camino Frances

    I think FiveFingers are a great alternative to what amando did... there's no way I could have completed it barefoot, but in my FiveFingers it was a breeze (relatively). And quite the conversation starter too (photo taken somewhere in Galicia - forget exactly where)...

    forum pack review

    Sil's list is great - definitely check it out. Normally I'd suggest going as light as possible, but the pack you mentioned does sound interesting as well. I wonder how much those innovations you talked about would help your back.

    First timer to complete the walk

    That's a lot of great reasons to walk the Camino! And it sounds like you're starting to prepare well in advance. You mentioned a tent - are you planning on camping instead of staying in hostels?

    Kindle the perfect pilgrim gadget?

    I'm surprised by all the positive feedback for the Kindle. For some reason I assumed there would be more "old school" book lovers on the Camino. I never thought I'd purchase something like a Kindle, but after reading this thread perhaps it's the perfect travel option. As for home use, give me...

    Drinking Water

    I had a small case of water or food poisoning a bit before Sahagun, but like others have said, there's no way to tell if it was food or water. Even with the sickness, I still felt comfortable drinking water from the many, many fountains along the Frances route. You can make sure you don't cause...

    GREETINGS FROM LONG ISLAND,NY.

    It would probably be a more difficult task to avoid making any friends on the Camino - it's just so easy! September is a great time to go; I went in September last year - perfect weather/temperatures 95% of the time. Have fun and buen Camino!
