    As a mother who also lost a daughter, albeit to cancer, I can feel the heartache & pain Denise's mother feels right now. I pray that God give her and her family strength, comfort and peace.

    Why are you walking so slow, or did you train for this?

    Gerrydel.... So proud of you! One of the things I learned from my Camino was patience, patience, patience. Before my Camino I would have answered those rude & inconsiderate questions with "what is it to you or none of your blinking business, walk your Camino not mine, who made you the Camino...

    Two unpleasant experiences on the Frances a year ago-0ne involved a very rude French hospitalera in St Jean who threatened me with "no breakfast" because I put on my shoes that morning -( I was on my way out to start my walk after breakfast)- of course I told her what she can do with her...

    Orisson: To stop or not to stop?

    I lucked out when I arrived at SJPP last year in May. The pilgrims office called in the reservation for Orisson for the next day for me. It was a great experience staying at Orisson what with the breathtaking scenery (I come from the Midwest -flatland Indiana) and the warm welcome from the...

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

    Hi Mary, It took me 32 days to complete my Camino. I had to taxi from Sansol to Burgos. I'm also a type 2 diabetic and I miscalculated how many insulin pens I would need to last me till I reached Burgos. From Pamplona , I mailed some of my Insulin, my sleeping bag & my sandals to lighten my...

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

    Hi John, So sorry for your loss. I, too, lost my daughter( to cancer ) 10 years ago. She was really the reason why I walked the Camino- she was a school teacher & my eldest & only daughter and she loved to hike. I've always wondered why she loved hiking even taking her students with her. She...

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

    I walked from St Jean Pied de Port to Santiago last year and before that I have never hiked ever in my life. I just trained (if you can even call it training ) about 4 miles a day 3-4 times a week 3 months before I started walking. I was 69 yrs old when I walked and had the best time. The...

    accommodations in SJPdP

    You lucked out, Bajaracer. When my friend and I arrived on June 1st the municipal albergue was full but the gentleman at the Pilgrims office stamped our credentials, gave us maps, & took us to the next available private accommodation which was next door. Unfortunately the hospitalera turned out...

    The story of your Stone at the Cruz de Ferro

    I started my Camino at SJPP. I carried from Indianapolis a smooth, flat stone which I picked up while doing my training walk before I started my Camino. I washed it then glued & taped a picture of my daughter I lost to cancer 9 yrs ago. Laying that stone on that hill gave me my much needed...
