    Hello all, Planning for an Old Guy to walk the Camino Sept. 2023

    In just a few weeks. Living the dream

    Hello Fran I flew from Vancouver at the same time last year. Stayed at Borda. Enjoyed a wonderful meal there and met pilgrins there who became informal companions over most of the journey. Trip of a lifetime! Buen Camino!!

    April 2022

    Greetings from Vancouver Island! I am planning to begin the same trek at about the same time as you. May we cross paths and maybe break bread or quaff a beer together. I have stopped reading travelogues 😐
