    A bar in St Jean

    Jacqueline, I'll be missing you by one day at L'Auberge du Pelerin; I am there the night of the 11th. I'm taking a rest day in SJPP and departing for Orisson on the 13th. You look young and fit so I may not catch up to you. Therefore I'm sending you my best wishes for a buen camino! I hope...

    A bar in St Jean

    Gerard, I'd love to be part of the scouting party on the 10th, but I don't arrive until the 11th, as Linda noted above. :( However, I will be there (with bells on!) on the 11th, my thimble in hand for toasting. (Just kidding about the thimble.) I loved your use of the word fellowship. Lovely...

    Soap

    Kanga, I'd forgotten about Lustre Cream Shampoo! It's been some time since I've seen that! Your post brought back memories from long ago days. :) Mary

    10 Things We Learned On Our First Camino....

    Tracker, thank you so much for taking the time to share this helpful and yet humorous post. I leave in a month for my first Camino. My training has been slacking this past week and I've not been as diligent as I intended in learning Spanish. I appreciate the nudge in the right direction! I'm...

    Having to postpone my Camino

    Trish, I am so sorry to hear your news. I hope and pray your sister responds well to treatment and makes a full recovery. You will never regret being there for her. When my husband was diagnosed with brain cancer, my sister called or texted me every day. Her support meant so much to me. The...

    Pau to SJPdP in September

    Dennis and Lisa, Too bad our dates are off. I leave from Pau for SJPP on September 11 and would have loved to share the Express Bourricot fare. Buen Camino! Mary

    jacket for layering in October

    Thanks, Margaret. I have a similar jacket, then, which also rolls up into a pocket. I was planning on using it instead of a poncho. I have no real experience walking in the rain, other than having been caught out on short walks of a couple of blocks, which was always kind of fun. I have oh...

    jacket for layering in October

    Aname4me, Thanks for the info. Since both you and Margaret (mspath) wear tights that are polyester (not nylon, like my LuluLemon yoga leggings), I am going to play it safe and order a pair of polyester tights. I suppose I could make a "test" of my current leggings by dousing myself with a hose...

    jacket for layering in October

    Margaret, Thank you so much for your response. I looked to find something similar in the U.S. and think this might work. The material composition seems similar to yours and the description talks about having a fast-drying exterior. Sounds like a winner to me! I appreciate it. I directed...

    jacket for layering in October

    Thanks, aname4me, for your input. I have a question about your running tights. I will be walking in September/October. I have a pair of LuluLemon leggings that are 81% Nylon/19% Lycra spandex. Is the composition of my leggings similar to your running tights? Did yours get wet on the trail...

    So What Was Your Most Embarrassing Moment?

    Spot on comment, Wayfarer. I'll even pre-order the book. Let's have it, Gerard. :)

    So What Was Your Most Embarrassing Moment?

    Oh, Gerard, I laughed until tears came! Oh, dear! Such a hoot. Still chuckling, in fact.

    I may have to limit my camino

    Great news. Glad to hear. And oh, my goodness, such beauty! You and @wayfarer are making me jealous with your pictures. I have visited Ireland twice (my roots are Irish) and your country is so beautiful. Sigh.

    I may have to limit my camino

    Hi, Agnogel. I just want to extend my sympathy and best wishes for you on your journey. Buen Camino! Mary

    LIVE from the Camino We're off then!

    Buen Camino to you and your son, Rambler! I'm happy for you to have this experience together. May this pilgrimage bring you a lasting bond of friendship with your son.

    suddenly scared

    Adhemar78, If I didn't know better, I would have thought I had written your post. ;) Most people I meet also assume that when I say I am going alone what I really mean is going with a group. But then, they don't know the nature of the Camino. I wonder if you and I will cross paths. I...

    Seeking advice: walk alone whole route or with sister for only 10 days

    JohnMcM, I agree totally with you. I, too, feel humbled and most grateful for the thoughtful, caring responses I received to my request for advice. I have felt lifted by many hands. In truth, my Camino has begun in this forum. :) I see you are taking off on your Camino very soon. May the...

    Seeking advice: walk alone whole route or with sister for only 10 days

    Olivares, It is encouraging to hear that you have walked the Camino before, several times in fact, and are continuing to walk it. Also glad to learn that jitters are normal. I alternate between enthusiastic anticipation and slight anxiety. When I tell people what my plans are, I often hear...
