I caught the Camino bug again (not that I was ever really cured in the first place!). I'm planning to walk the Caminho Português from Lisboa to Santiago (and, hopefully, Finisterre this time) in September/October of 2023.
It will be exactly seven years after completing the Camino Frances from...

P.S. I am also leaving SJPP on 8 Sept. Hope to see you there!

My paper Breviary, for instance, will probably be coming with me because it always does (even though I have an...
Dan, I had the gear obsession too...I cured it by buying my major gear (shoes/pack/sleeping gear). Now I am afraid to read gear reviews for fear of getting buyers' remorse! :-)
Well, I bought my plane ticket so I guess it's official.
God willing, I'll be starting on the Camino in St. Jean on September 8th of 2016. For me it is a combination religious pilgrimage/mid-life crisis activity. Some guys buy a Corvette, I'm walking 500 miles to church...
