Hola de nuevo XM,
Thanks for all your advice and kind words. I see you too have come upon José Marie Maldonado's song. I just love it and now have it stored on my computer to play regularly. Also, I did download that short video with dificulty, as I don't have broadband yet. It took me ages...
Hola xm,
Thanks for your thoughts. I am desperately trying to reduce my 10kilo pack. How?
I have been interested in the Camino ever since ,in 1970, I married my Spanish husband who was reared in a small village near Jaca, on the Camino Aragonés. I have travelled around that area on my few...
Hola Oscar jans,
Yes, I know the feeling. I was like that in the beginning and to some extent still, I think. I love this forum and think it is great but with only two week's to go before I leave for Somport in Aragón I am in a panic about everything and am fed up with all this modern...
Hi Everyone,
Just booked my flight to Pau for 19th April, 2007. Look out for me - the one who walks with a wobble and looks drunk, but I will not be!! I may need a friendly hand over the fords and steep places.
Getting excited. Maybe I will meet up with Kelly.
Con cariño ,
Eleanor
Hi bjorgts'
This is very interesting for me as I know the valley so well. Your discription sounds so beautiful. I look forward to seeing the Spanish spring flowers. Yes, too early for the Almond Blossom I think. I don't think I can plan for the weather and like you say I should be able to...
Hola bjorgts,
Thanks for taking the trouble to reply to me.
I wonder out of curosity what date in April 2004 you were at Somport. I know the valley well but havn't walked it yet. I am usually there in September or Christmas and have never been there in Spring. Did you see the almond...
Hola Peter of Australia and greeting from Ireland,
I am glad you so enjoyed your Camino through Aragón and seeing all those names of the villages makes me excited. Isn't San Juan de la Peña a magical place and well worth the detour? I go there every time we visit my husband's village - Santa...
Hi again Jonna,
Just read your change of plans. Maybe you will come to Somport? I too am reading Paulo Coelho El Perigrino de Compostella - the Spanish version of The Pilgrim. I am trying to keep my Spanish from going too rusty.
Buenos noches,
Hello Jonna from Finland.
This is Eleanor from Ireland. As you will see from my posts I hope to start at roughly the same time as you from Somport in Aragon. I wish you Buen Camino. That is good advice Lupita is giving us. It is a bit scary thinking about going alone. I hope you will...
Hola, desde Irlanda.
Hello fellow pilgrims.
Yes , I have been interested in El Camino ever since I married my Aragonése husband in 1970. Over the past 36 years I have come to love this wonderful region of Alto Aragón and know Somport well. My brother-in-law practices 'transhumance' up there...
I am a mildly disabled but relatively fit 61 year old Irish lady hoping to start walking from Somport in April. How will the weather be and am I likely to meet anybody on the way who might be able to give me a hand if I get stuck. This is my first post and I wish to test the system. Thanks...
