    Music that goes through your head on the Camino

    My favorite to sing was the South African hymn "We Are Walking in the Light of God." It had the perfect tempo to walk to and had the advantage of being remarkably adaptable. When going up a hill, "We are climbing in the light of God." After missing a yellow arrow and going a couple of miles...

    Muchas Gracias

    I catch a plane to Amsterdam in 4 days, where I'll spend a week with a dear friend before making my way to SJPP to begin my first Camino on May 11. Thank you, thank you, for all your help and advice (even if it was occasionally contradictory!) I can't imagine planning this pilgrimage without...

    Getting dressed, best time of day to walk, cold legs?

    I see several of you mentioned sleeping in your clothes. I start my first Camino in a month (woo hoo! Can't wait!) but the idea of sleeping in my clothes sounds dreadful. Are you really comfortable in your clothes? I was planning on a pair of light weight knit shorts and a tank top.

    To all those starting in May

    Dear new friends-- What fun to read your posts, and somehow very moving as well (so many of your stories are also my story). I look forward to meeting many of you along the way, and the others God will send to cross my path. Rene Omaha

    To all those starting in May

    I begin my first Camino May 11 from SJPP, solo walking, in part to celebrate my 60th birthday. Part of me feels like a new kid on her first day of school. Will I make any new friends? Will any one sit with me at lunch? Will anyone play with me at recess? (This is what I worry about when I'm...

    Camino Francés to be abandoned?

    I walk my first camino this year, so I speak out of absolute ignorance, but this thread does remind me of the six weeks I spent volunteering with the Iona Community 5 years ago. Located on a tiny island off the west coast of Scotland, centered in a restored 13th century abbey, a place of...

    Training in winter

    Wow--thanks for all the great advice. Unfortunately, neither Omaha nor my work are walking-friendly. Some of the advice I've thought of (extending & intensifying my regular workout at the Y) & some of them I would never have thought of (wearing my backpack while doing housework--great idea!)...

    Training in winter

    The subtitle of this post should be "I may live in Nebraska but I am still a wimp." I plan on walking the Camino Frances next May & June, which means I will need to train in the winter. I spend winters in Nebraska sprinting from car to building bundled from head to toe, not walking miles...
