    Weaning myself from this forum

    It's very hard to hear anything bad about the Camino. I walked CF with my daughter and the time spent there will always be one of the most special times of our lives. People react differently to bad news ... Anger, Prayer, Denial , or Tears. The things that we love the most test our hearts to...

    My daughter also handed me her boots and walked in sandals after she started to develop blisters and she also lost a toe nail. Whatever it takes to keep on walking she was an all-star and the greatest trip of my life.

    Estimated cost of food o accommodation, 2015

    I just got back sept 30th. Yes you can find these prices but you wont stick to them for long. My daughter and I just got back from 30 days and found spending a little more was worth it in most cases. The 5 dollar alburgues go fast and are usually very big and sometimes hard to get to sleep in...

    dealing with photos

    Burgos is the place, I found a nice little copy place online looks like you can do just about anything. Thinking of a day off in Burgos, should be a good spot to relax, enjoy and take some pictures.

    Is finishing in Santiago important?

    That's where you problem could lie, your traveling with nine people who might have different outlooks . I'll be walking with my daughter who's in her 20's but still my baby, and we've started to talk about how walking at you own pace is so important for your feet's sake alone. I want her to have...
