    Starting on 1 May from St Jean Pied

    I'll be starting May 1 from St. Jean. As Bradypus said, I booked my first 2 nights in St. Jean and Roncesvalles. Have a safe flight there. I hope to meet you on the Way.

    Importance of First Night's Stay

    How important was the place you stayed in SJPdP the night before you started in creating your "Camino Family?" I'm about to book my first night's stay at an albergue in SJPdP. The place that I'm considering booking has minimal common areas. I'm wondering whether I should stay at another...

    My experience walking with my 10 year old son

    Thank you Mgardner for sharing your experience with your son. What a wonderful time to bond and grow for the both of you! I was considering doing the Camino Frances myself, with my 10 year old son and wife possibly joining me for the last 100km. However, after reading your story, I'm...

    Walking with a Nine-Year-Old

    I was so happy to read about your adventure with your daughter. She sounds like a remarkable young woman. I'm planning my first Camino, and am hoping my wife and 9 year old son will join me for the last 100km. Thank you for posting!
