    My first Camino

    Sorry to hear that we won't meet at Orisson, and equally, hope to meet afterwards. Green Osprey pack with cloth shell patch on back along with reflective patches. Extreme Condition Hat with reflective patches front and back. Orisson was insurance for jet lag -- if I'm rested, would not be...

    Hi mspath, thanks for your kind message. I do enjoy reading your posts and your perspective. On the carpe diem, I could not agree more particularly when age 70 is not that far away. Cheers and Buen Camino

    Thank you Peter, I appreciate your kind greeting. You may not realize it, but you originally welcomed me in Nov 2015 with somewhat similar warm wishes. I think it was the Class of 2016 group. Cheers and Buen Camino, CT

    1st CF starts Apr 26, finally after 5 postponements!

    Planning to start the CF with departure from SJPP on Wed, April 26, 2017. Walking solo and hoping to meet new friends along the way. If time permits would like to walk to Finisterre and Muxia after SdC. Planned for my 1st CF originally in fall 2014 and had too many of life's major...

    My first Camino

    Thanks Grace, good luck with your reservation at Orisson on the night of 26/27. Sue just reported that she has a reservation that night at O also. I do too -- so if you are lucky, it appears that the three of us may find ourselves at the communal dinner there on the 26th with others. If I...

    My first Camino

    Hi Sue, I'm arriving in SJPP the same day (Apr 25) and departing the next day (Apr 26) to begin the Camino Frances. Planning to start solo at this point. Where are you staying in SJPP? I plan to stay at Beilari. If we don't see each other in SJPP, likely we will somewhere along the way...

    ---------- Saludos Deb, lo siento la demora en responderte. Desgraciadamente termine todas las etapas de la ruta Chemin Le Puy en el dia 18 de diciembre y el dia siguiente empece el Appalachian Trial, todos en W4F. Me entristeci saber de la muerte de Bella -- Que cara de tanta ternura! I...

    Class of 2016

    Thanks for your understanding. Yes, languages do move in that direction, particularly under the force of another more dominant language. Generally speaking, my impression is that Spanish tends to change substantially slower than English with the regulation by the Spanish Royal Academy (RAE)...

    Congrats, I see you on the trail now -- you are doing great! I agree, it is a lot of fun. Much success and Buen Camino, CT

    Class of 2016

    (Chuckles) Christian, now that you mention it, why don't we avoid Spanglish? My experiences with it have taken conversations in some really negative directions. I don't think any of my comments or words in the two messages to Lachance were Spanglish. I try to avoid it like the plague and...

    Lachance, I just saw it. La perrita se llama Deb! I must be going blind. CT

    Class of 2016

    De nada Lachance, el placer es mio. Asi es, se conforma con la gramatica y ortografia de Espanol (Castellano). (You are welcome Lachance, my pleasure. Yes, it conforms to Spanish (Castillian) grammar and spelling.) ?Como se llama el/la perrito/a en tu avatar? (What is the name of the...

    Class of 2016

    Good evening SimLin, sorry to hear about your Plantar Fasciitis -- hope all goes well with your recovery. That reminds me of the serious case of shin splints I had in May 2014 where I had to be off my feet for three weeks. It was not pleasant but all turned out well and I learned how to walk...

    Class of 2016

    SimLin, glad you are getting started on W4F. Hope it helps you with training -- I found that it helped me increase daily distances. On starting up the CF virtually on the same day you begin it in reality, you have the flexibility to change from one trail to another at any time so that should...
