    Booking room in St Jean Pied de Port

    The owners name is Joseph and he speaks English. He’s always very prompt when answering email questions or reservation requests. You may already know this, but it’s across from the pilgrims office making it easy to find. You’ll be certain to receive a warm welcome and a great dinner. It’s a...

    RETHINK walking the Frances

    It is very very true. The camino is a great experience and a beautiful place to be, but I would have never picked this route had I any idea how hard finding a bed is every night. I have walked 8 caminos and this is my third Frances. It has never been this crowded. And I am on the camino right...

    Tips for Introverts...on the CF

    I say go for it and I had a dreadful beginning of my Camino. I think we may all feel out of sorts no matter how often or how many times you've been somewhere it always feels a little shakey until you find yourself coasting through the days wishing you could slow them down. Best of luck and you...

    A disappointing day

    That sucks. What a terrible, nasty, and violent experience. I'm so sorry to hear of your encounter and although I'd like to say I know how you feel, the truth is I don't. I can say, however I'd probably end up feeling similarly and want to leave as well. Perhaps you may want to consider...

    Tips for Re-entry

    Every minute my feet weren't here walking. I immediately started saving for a return ticket which I purchased three months after returning to my house. ..for Spain feels more like home than where I grew up or where my house is located.

    Tips for Introverts...on the CF

    Yes yes I still want to walk. I always want to walk, rain or shine. I was considering returning to the Frances, but I hadn't yet determined where I should go. I found your invitation was deeply moving when I read it late last night, so much so I found it difficult to fall asleep. I can't really...

    Tips for Introverts...on the CF

    You have no idea how that makes me feel. All the posts have really shown me the many facets of what I've been going through..from managing expectations to the difference between loneliness and solitude and so on. All the warm messages and voices of wisdom have made me look deeper into myself...

    Tips for Introverts...on the CF

    What a perfect quote indeed. I fancy that idea of going back to the beginning of it all, but I don't think I'll ever walk from St Jean again. Beautiful place and no regrets in walking it, but I found it to be a bigger challenge than I care to take on again. I have nothing but respect for those...

    Tips for Introverts...on the CF

    I wasn't quite finished but my fingers thought differently. I think my point is made. I'm happy and safe and in the company of people that gathered me up and made me feel at home. Thanks so much Jennifer

    Tips for Introverts...on the CF

    Fabulous ideas. I've been to three mass (or is it masses) in two days. None of which were English. I did hear a little bit about this hotel in which you mentioned. I didn't know where it was located but I do now. I would like everyone to know I had a great day, fabulous even. I met some folks...

    Tips for Introverts...on the CF

    Thanks so much for the advice. I walked The Frances last year and never had a moment of loneliness. Starting in St Jean was helpful as you see the same people every couple of days. There was always someone to talk to if you felt disconnected. I'm in Santiago now and have finished the Camino...

    Camino de Santiago

    Obviously I had some typos in that last text. This is what I meant to say... Once if found my bed for the night everything else seemed to fall into place.

    Camino de Santiago

    I was nervous, exhausted, and confused by the tine I made it to SJPP from Bilbao. Once I found my bed for the night I everyone hi god else fell into place. I found so many people to share day one of walking. Most people spoke English which was a big relief. It is an amazing experience that...

    Type of Tree

    Thanks for the reference. There's a tree that I loved and never could figure it out. Maybe you know this one too. I'll have to dig through some photos and see if I can find it. I recall seeing them around the Estella/Logrono area. They were not used as shade trees and roughly 10 feet tall and...
