    Common Question: Days to walk SJPP to Santiago

    In 2013 at the age of 76, I did my first Camino Frances from SJPP to SDC in 32 days with 1 rest day and then 3 days to Muxia and 1 more to Finisterre. In 2015, at 78, it was 37 days with 2 rest days. And, in 2019, at the ripe, old age of 82, it only took me 32 days - Lol! and that was after...

    Hiking at Night?

    My experience of walking during the night came about because 'somebody" decided it would be a beautiful night - full moon - and all that good stuff! Well, off we went - about 5 of us from all over the world - tripping over every tree root that crossed our paths. Never could see the beautiful...

    Lost "spirit "on camino today

    OMG! When my granddaughter and I walked last year, we came across some bikers who, evidently, were having problems with their tights and I said to my GD, the least they could do is cover up the "family jewels" and she, being a nurse, had never heard that expression so after explaining, she...

    Did you have a plan?

    When my granddaughter and I left last May, we were hoping to be in France the following day but as we were flying stand-by, that plan went to the wayside. That was the only thing we had "planned"! However, it took us to Ireland and then Paris and then SJPP and I must say, it was a great...

    Just Horrid Sometimes Aren’t They? …. Women Pilgrims.

    That has to be one of the funniest stories I've read about the Camino. But, I sure can see you now with that smelly thing wrapped around your neck! Only a man would do that! Thanks for the laugh!
