    considering canceling my trip :(

    THIS seems significant to me. I walked with my cousin, and we were both facing similar "huge neon NOT OK signs" in our lives (mine with my career, her with her family). She mostly used her Camino as a way to "escape" her problems/home stress for a while. I walked my Camino as a "prayer" or...

    My only Camino souvenir

    I liked those too--took a photo of one in the Catro Ventos Bar in Barbeitos. :) So your 13-year old bought it for you and shipped it home for you? Wow!

    A few tips for new pilgrims

    While I don't necessarily agree with the "there are no bad pilgrims" idea, I do agree that most pilgrims will go out of their way to be helpful. As will many locals. A few examples from my Camino on the Primitvo: - on two separate occasions, a stranger offered me water while I was walking - a...

    Finished a few days ago... am I the only one who

    I really struggled with this too. The announcer calling for silence, which lasted all of 10 seconds. People talking throughout the mass. I felt like asking them: "What is SO important that you have to say it RIGHT NOW during the ceremony?!" And yes, after asking everyone multiple times to put...

    Finished a few days ago... am I the only one who

    THIS. :D I just walked the Primitvo, which then joins the Frances. After a day and a half on the Frances, I had my fill, and so I I used my GPS to forge my own route to cut over to the Inglés and entered Santiago from the North! No problem to get a Credential. ;) They don't really care the exact...

    A few drops of rain won't harm you!

    Yes, I'm definitely taking a pack cover in any case! I hear you re: legs. I used to bike to college in a rain jacket, shorts and tevas in the rain, and all my classmates laughed at me... Until they had to sit in their sopping wet jeans and runners all day, and I was dry minutes after arriving...

    A few drops of rain won't harm you!

    I'm actually really curious about the rain in Spain (I swear I'm not starting a My Fair Lady "bit"! lol) I'm from Vancouver Canada, and here the rain is often cold and long-lasting. Like, if it's raining in the morning, it will likely be raining all day. When I went to France last summer...

    How Many People Walked The Camino Without Any Training ?

    I 100% agree with this!! A couple of years ago, I fancied myself a pretty "big walker," because I walked everywhere around town and never drove and rarely took the bus. Actually (don't laugh!), I was only walking about 5-10km at a time, and rarely several days in a row at 10km. I hated...
