Patricia, I just finished walking the Camino. There is no sign whats-so-ever that Spain is in a financial crunch while walking on the Camino. In fact, it is the exact opposite. The people are extremely friendly, even to a pilgrim like me that spoke no Spanish - and once you are in Santiago -...- TimCanada

Today has been my first day home after what was a total of 30 hours from the time I got on the bus in Santiago Sunday night to the time I got home from the Toronto airport last night. Tonight I had a choice of either of begining to filter through my more than 4000 pictures that I took on the...- TimCanada

Thanks to everyone for their very kind words. The advice and guidance from the veterans on this forum was instrumental in allowing me to meet my goal - which was to walk to Santiago. I did improve my belt loop by 3 notches so I am assuming that I have lost some weight. That being said, I have...- TimCanada

I have been in Santiago for a few days now. Met Johnny Walker - that was very cool. I enjoy watching all the new pilgrims as they go by my hotel which is across from the Catherdral - wide eyed with anticipation and excitement. Some holding hands as they walk - others singing and snapping...- TimCanada

Hi everybody, Been on the Camino and just wanted to let you know how things are going since I have some good WIFI access here right now. Spain is a very, very beautiful country -at least the sections I have seen from Madrid and up. And the residents are the most friendly people I have ever...- TimCanada

Well I got it down to 18 lbs - so that will have to do. I had dreams of taking about 10 lbs but to do that I would only be taking the clothes on my back. I am taking 4 pairs of socks because my sucess will depend on my feet being able to carry me. As I begin the Camino on Wednesday, I likely...- TimCanada

Tim the Fat Canadian has pretty much recovered from a knee injury (from overtraining in rugged terrain) and is back on track for starting from St Jean on or around September 1st. Just looking over the zillions of options for travel from North America to St Jean. If I have no set backs with the...- TimCanada

Amourier, I am going alone as well. There will be lots of people there and as you continue along the trail, more and more people will join in. Although there are no guarentees, a lady from London, Ontario, walked the Camino this past September and had 33 days without any rain! I am sure that...- TimCanada

Arlene, Thanks for the kind words. There are many people out here who are real veterans of the camino, having walked it several times and they are the ones who can give the best advice. What I have heard them say time and time again is that different things work for different people. Some...- TimCanada

One thing you said was that no one spoke to you so your walk over the top felt like a really solitary trek. Staying overnight at Huntto or Orisson is a great way to meet people since you'll all have dinner around the same table in the evening. Cecelia Cecelia, Hi again and thanks for the...- TimCanada

'Tim-the-determined-Canadian 'might make a good new name. Tim, your post is one of the most heartwarming I have ever read on the Forum. You have turned 'failure' into a life-changing experience. I wish you continued joy as you train, and look forward to hearing more, especially when you walk the...- TimCanada

Yvonne, I have not booked my tickets yet so my dates are still somewhat flexible. I have the crest from this forum, the canadian pilgrim crest, and a canadian flag on my backpack (maybe that is why it is so heavy?) I plan on starting in St Jean - this is a 're-do' for me as I have attempted...- TimCanada
