    Any advice from Sarria to Santiago?

    I just returned a few days ago from Sarria to Santiago. From the USA, it took 2 days to get to Sarria and we started walking on the 3rd day. Due to a missed connection it also took us 2 days to get home (it should have taken 1 day). The first time I did the Camino I walked Sarria to Santiago...

    What have I done? I just made a point of no return decision!

    I agree with the others that said the walk from SJPP to Roncesvalles was very special. That was my favorite day of walking because of the challenge. And my favorite morning was in Roncesvalles being woken up by the "Alleluia" chant. Spending your energy to learn Spanish as much as possible...

    Searching for Jane from the UK Living in France (from May/Ju

    I'm back from the Camino now... I started May 10 from SJPP and ended in Santiago on June 8. Along the way, another friend and I met up with Jane Sunderland. But we never got her email and we're trying to connect up with her again now online. I thought she told me she is online on Facebook...

    Musical instruments

    (Not that you can buy them, but since you have an interest in that area...) When you're in Santiago de Compostela you might want to visit the museum of the Cathedral (it's accessed from Prazo Obradoiro) . There is an exhibit there with replicas of the instruments that the various figures carved...

    laundry

    .. but please be considerate of other pilgrims waiting for their showers (e.g., don't use more water or take more time than you would otherwise have taken) Personally, I walked into the shower fully clothed (but pockets EMPTY!) and then stripped off, leaving the clothes to get wet & soapy as I...

    "A Journey of Spiritual Significance"

    My camino (May/June) was hugely spiritually significant for me, in ways that surprised me. I didn't have any expectations (or desire) for visions, etc., but I got one anyways. It was very powerful. And, as others have said in their responses, very personal, and not something I'm going to even...

    It's me... a nervous first time pilgrim

    Hi Ajda, Prepare as much as you can, and then leave the rest to take care of itself. I did the Camino alone in May/June and everything was fine. As it happened, I teamed up with someone I met on the train from Bayonne to St. Jean Pied-de-Port, and we met a third person, and we all kept in...

    Thank you

    Hi Sandra, I checked the Camino Calendar but didn't see your departure marked there. Would you be ok with adding it? I start from SJPP on May 10 but I can't tell if we'd possibly meet or not. I join you in your appreciation for this forum. I'm a first-timer and benefited SO MUCH from all the...

    any groups going in early may 2009??

    The Calendar shows some others starting to firm up their plans for a May start. I'm not in a group, just solo behind you... starting from Saint Jean Pied de Port on Sunday, May 10. If you wear the Pilgrim Forum badge on your pack, maybe we'll spot each other along the way.

    Any firsttime walkers in May 2009?

    I'll be starting from St Jean Pied de Port on Sunday, May 10, 2009 ("inshallah" as some friends say, "god willing" as others say, "whatever" as still others say...) It's starting to feel real.
