Thanks so much Ken. I really enjoyed reading your post. Helps me remember that so much of life depends on your attitude...which I guess is one of the few things you have control over.
I started the Levante 2 years ago around this time and it was empty. I think we met 2 other pilgrims. So there are empty routes for those finding the Frances too crowded.
There is a good Yogi Berra quote that applies here..."no one walks that route anymore, it's too crowded"...lol
Hospendaria San Martino Pinario, just off Praza do Obradoiro in Santiago. Historic 16th C monastery, great location and wonderful breakfast and dinner.
I like this quote," the more you overthink,the less you will understand." The daily unexpected events and happenings of camino life is exactly what I like about it. It's one of the few times in my life where living in the moment is the most challenging and fulfilling.
