Hello Jane
I am sorry to hear about your delay. I know it must be a tremendous disappointment, especially after delaying it once before.
But having had a broken toe before, I agree with your Doctor. I suffered from the pain when walking for several months. Such a little thing...a toe...but boy...

Re: September Starters-Starting Sept 8th
Jane,
It has been a week and we haven't heard anything. How is that broken toe? Can you get your foot into shoes? Boots? You haven't aborted your Camino plans yet, have you?
I'm thinking of you and wishing you well.
I so hope you can make your Camino...
Hello MadMax
I will be walking in September also. I will be about a week ahead of you, so chances are, we will not meet, but I hope you have a wonderful journey.
Buen Camino

Thanks falcon!!! Good adivce. I Love it.

All very good and wise advice.
My boots are well broken in and my body is conditioning (as much as possible for the "woman of a certain age" that I am) from all the walking and hiking I have been doing.
What do you suggest for "spiritual and intellectual preparation"?

Hi Stevie I can't say exactly what it is about Coelho's books that grab me. But I have enjoyed them all. I liked the Witch of Potabello too.
I like his voice and all of his books a have a spiritual undertone that you have to keep an open mind to appreciate.
I hope you enjoy your pilgrimage...
Hi Stevie
I read the Pilgrimage by Paulo Coelho a few years ago. Although I have heard negative comments about it in this forum, I really enjoyed it.
I love all his books. The Alchemist is also a good one by him.
I am enjoying preparing for my upcoming trip and appreciate tips like yours for...
Hi Stevie
I just received my copy of Walk in a Relaxed Manner from Amazon yesterday. I can't put it down. You are so right it is a great book.
Thanks for the recommendation!!!
Hi Alan Somehow I missed this reply so I am answering now. I hope to meet up with you in Santiago and will make a note in my book of your name and your good recommendation for the Hotel Suso, I think I will like the idea of "sitting" (hehe), and watching people walk by.
Hope you have a wonderful...
