  1. Artemis

    Class of 2012

    Another American joining the class of 2012. A friend and I have been talking about it for 2 years but now the time is getting close. We are both turning 60 next year and there is no better way to celebrate than doing another Camino. I will be house sitting in Spain the winter of 2011 and then...

    Hello from Toronto!

    Hi, Please don't let this be your first impression of this forum. Someone has spammed it and the moderators are probably fast asleep in Europe and won't realize it until the morning. So please return and you will find lots of helpful information and plenty of replies to any questions you may...

    September Starters

    I finally bought my ticket! I will arrive in SJPP on Aug 26, be volunteering at L'Esprit du Chemin until Sept 6th and will probably start walking Sept 7th. I still haven't decided which route to take though.

    Hi Rebecca, My father died 2 months before my pilgrimage in 2006. I sent you a PM. Melinda

    September Starters

    I will be starting Sept 6 or 7 after volunteering at L'Esprit du Chemin for a couple of weeks. I am still not sure which camino I will do. I did Camino Frances in 2006 but missed a couple of sections due to my sister's injured knee. I would really like to spend some time in France so I may...

    Camino Sept Oct 09

    We walked from Sept. through the end of October in 2006. Some days it was so hot we were running from shade tree to shade tree and putting on lots of sunscreen, some days it was so cold our hands were numb so we bought gloves and warm hats. It rained 10 days straight and there was also a...

    Class of 2009

    Thank you Lillian and Arn. I am sure you can both imagine how excited I am to be able to volunteer at L'Esprit du Chemin. I was sick and a little terrified when I arrived on their doorsteps over 2 years ago. They took me in, put a bucket beside my bed, gave me clean linens and cooked something...

    Class of 2009

    I am excited to be able to say that I am joining the class of 2009. I will be hospitalero at L'Esprit du Chemin starting August 27. After I finish there I have to decide which route I will walk. So many wonderful choices. Buen Camino, Melinda

    My name is Terese, Hello everybody!

    Hi Terese, In 2006 I there was a woman from Portugal (Olga) who walked with her dog (Edy). I think the main problem she was having was finding places to stay that would accept animals. In Santa Domingo they let her tie Edy in the garden. At O Cebreiro it was cold and rainy and she was trying to...

    Hello from Nancy Frey/Pilgrim Stories

    I am not sure exactly how you would categorize what happened to us but here it is. I had wanted to do the camino for 5 years before I actually got to do it. I read everything I could find about it. I knew my guidebook practically by heart. I would read every blog I came across and look at all...

    Somewhere to stay in Roncesvalles

    That is the one we stayed in. Very nice and clean. It felt wonderful to be able to take a nice hot shower after being so cold and completely drenched walking from SJPP. One of the few times we treated ourselves to a private room.

    Somewhere to stay in Roncesvalles

    We stayed at a nice apartment for one night when we were there. I believe it was 65 euro. We booked the room at the restaurant where you get pilgrims meals. It wasn't La Posada so it must have been the other place. They probably have something less expensive but that was the only thing they had...

    new peregrina

    Hi Jane. I am from Florida too. I did the camino last year starting in September. I only took a silk liner trying to make my backpack lighter and had some very uncomfortably cold nights. Not all of the albergues have blankets and if they do sometimes there aren't enough for everyone. I ended up...

    Introduction

    Is your daughter Kaylyn (not sure of spelling) by any chance? My sister has Olga's email address I think. I will ask her next time I see her.
  16. Artemis

    Introduction

    I finished the camino the first part of November. I did meet Olga and Edy and walked with them a couple of days. We saw them again at Finistere where they had walked so Edy Maria could earn her Compostella. She certainly earned it because she walked the whole way and more because of running...

    Planning on walking September 06

    Hi Mike. How lucky to be able to start from your own front door. When I first started thinking about doing this pilgrimage, 500 miles could as well be a million miles but now I find I have been thinking of starting further into France. I mean the biggest expense to me will be the airfare and I...

    Planning on walking September 06

    I actually am planning on going to Finisterre. I bought a book about it the same time I got the book about Santiago. I can't see jumping on a plane right after that experience so I think Finisterre is just the thing. I am glad to hear about the weather being so mild in September. I can stand...

    Planning on walking September 06

    I know, it's like once you make up your mind to go the time can't come fast enough. Are you traveling alone or with someone? At least you don't have to put "learn Spanish" on your "to do" list.

    Planning on walking September 06

    Hi Hortensia, nice to meet you. I would love to be going in May but there is just not enough time for me to plan everything. I know I don't want to do it in the summer because of the heat, so Fall it is!
