    Why we walk the Camino

    Well said, Margaret. I will carry you thoughts and words with me. I was fortunate to do my first Camino Francis May-July, 2013 just before my 63rd birthday. It was an amazing experience. Meeting wonderful people from all around the world, many of whom I'm still in contact with, seeing some...

    How do you manage to get out of work for 5 weeks?

    Reservations at Refuge Orisson

    Thank-you to all of you. Received an email from them telling me all they needed was the date I wanted to stay there. Once I sent that they initiated the charge to pay-pal and reservation was confirmed shortly thereafter. All's Well :D

    Reservations at Refuge Orisson

    Have any of you made reservations at Refuge Orisson recently? Like in 2013? I find a contact form on their website but no reservation page. I have contacted them...they say to use "paypal" to make the deposit. Ok. But HOW? No reserve form, link or anything. I'm stumped. Thanks for your...
