    Thanks for the wish and the beautiful poem, @mspath!
  6. A Good Wander

    A Million Steps

    Thanks @Ekelund! Yes, barefooting :) For the last four years I have hiked unshod and love it. It takes time to build up but I find it the most wonderful, sense stimulating, foot strengthening way to walk. I am confident yet sober about doing this on the Camino and will bring minimalist...

    A Million Steps

    A million steps before the first is taken— my Camino! After 15 years of dreaming and, seemingly, a million steps of preparation, I am leaving tomorrow morning to walk the Camino de Santiago! After a day in Paris hanging out with my brother, niece and nephew who happen to be in Europe right now...

    Frustrated in Roncesvalles

    Great, @Buz Radican! I checked my email and messenger and received confirmation as well. Whew! All good. @Oxford Alice glad you found a bed!

    Frustrated in Roncesvalles

    Thanks for the heads-up @Oxford Alice! I booked a bed for May 3rd way back in December and also didn't receive a confirmation email. I did take a screenshot of the reservation number on the website after it was processed, took another screenshot of the payment on my Visa invoice when it arrived...

    Introverts: Invierno Detour or Continue on Frances at Ponferrada?

    Thanks for your thoughts @Stivandrer. I think I will detour onto the Invierno and leave the last stretch of the CF for another time--perhaps when walking with my son (who would love the social side of the Camino) or with my wife who would enjoy having a short camino from Sarria.

    Introverts: Invierno Detour or Continue on Frances at Ponferrada?

    It sounds wonderful, @peregrina2000 Thanks for the forum guide. I look forward to the 2018 update as well. This is quite comprehensive and I'm sure it'll be a huge help in planning my walk. Best wishes, Peter

    Introverts: Invierno Detour or Continue on Frances at Ponferrada?

    Thanks for the link and beautiful pictures, @Ribeirasacra ! Still curious about trail composition. I'm planning to walk the Camino mostly barefoot (my preferred "footwear" when hiking) and wondering which way (CI vs CF) has more natural surfaces vs. asphalt. Anyone know how the two ways compare...

    Introverts: Invierno Detour or Continue on Frances at Ponferrada?

    Thanks again everyone, great to hear from your experience. Thanks @KinkyOne, I'll try to track down your pictures. Yes, I can imagine it's only gotten busier, much busier since 2011. Thanks for your recollection @Anamiri. I'm actually really looking forward to the Meseta for the reasons you...

    Introverts: Invierno Detour or Continue on Frances at Ponferrada?

    Thanks, everyone! Very helpful. Another question about the two routes: what percentage of road vs trail could I expect on either route? Do both go through the Galician forests?

    Introverts: Invierno Detour or Continue on Frances at Ponferrada?

    Point taken. Yes starting in SJPP. Not my intention to turn my pilgrimage into a sightseeing tour (although certainly not averse to beautiful and inspiring scenery ;) ). I'm not worried in the slightest about making a wrong choice, just anticipating this fork in the road and wanting to hear of...

    Introverts: Invierno Detour or Continue on Frances at Ponferrada?

    Flying into Paris on May1st and starting the Frances May 2nd. Can't wait! I'm a fairly solitary walker and really value alone time for introspection/meditation, but am also looking forward to meeting fellow pilgrims, particularly at the conclusion of the day's walk. That said, the more I read...
