    LIVE from the Camino 1st week on Camino Francis May 2016

    Wow, love reading your link and looking at your photos. I land in Madrid on Tuesday, but won't start walking until Thursday morning from SJPP. I feel encouraged just reading your blog. Taking care of the feet. YES! My pack is at 12 pounds and I feel like that might be too much. Maybe I'll...

    Rumours of Pilgrims being held in SJPP due to crowding?

    Rumor - REI will air drop 900 Big Agnes tents and Sea to Summit sleep sheets to help the 900 through the next few days. They will be found on the SJPP tennis courts. Thoughts of sending Osprey 36L backpacks, but REI does not have enough to ship immediately. They are also dropping 15 eco...

    May 24th is approaching too fast

    Jeannie, That is awesome that we will be making the journey at the same time. I'm sure the Camino will provide us with what we need. Be it assistance, help with health, or just the joy of meeting new folks. Yes we will see you along the way. Buen Camino

    May 24th is approaching too fast

    I so loved reading your post. It's so good to know that someone is up ahead and that folks will be with me. I carry many folks in my heart as I prepare to start the journey. I also have tried to quit talking to everyone about the journey, but I'm finding as the time approaches I'm starting to...

    May 24th is approaching too fast

    Thanks for your thoughtful response to my comments. I feel prepared and yes so thankful for everyone's comments and responses. I do have a bit of that "now, I am actually going" feeling/anxiety right now. In my heart I know it will all be good, but dang those anxious feelings just creep in...

    May 24th is approaching too fast

    Thank you so much. I do hope it will be much simpler upon arriving in Spain. Your words mean a lot to me. Just hearing someone else say it will be much simpler is good.

    May 24th is approaching too fast

    I've trained, I've gotten geared up, I've studied, and I've read the forums......a lot. I arrive in Spain on May 24th and will start walking the Camino Frances on May 27th. I said I was just going to let go and let the Camino happen however it's supposed to happen. But I find myself just a...

    Last minute advice for first timers.

    This is a very thoughtful post. I really like it. I'm looking forward to watching the wind blow through the trees, and ah the smell of early morning bread baking, nothing can be better than being able to take the time and be grateful and thankful that we even get to attempt such a wondrous...

    Last minute advice for first timers.

    I too am going through making final decisions and going through my packing list too. I leave from Portland, OR on the 24th, but also am a Washington State pilgrim. I like the items you listed of what you are leaving behind. I'm going to remember those words as I set forth. Buen Camino

    Ready for May 26th, 2016

    I do not want to change this....:when are we leaving from SJPP?" one more time. I've spent a couple of months thinking about when to leave and I believe we are now starting out the morning of May 26th from SJPP. I'm as ready as I can be.....I think. I love that this will be the journey of a...
