My husband has completed his chemo treatment for colon cancer and now, six months later is training like mad for his 7 April start from home near Condom to S de C. I am joining him in Spain near Frómista on 4 May where I had to finish two years ago and we will continue together. I am praying...
Wow this is a load of fun! Larazet is our house name, mentioned in some Chemin guides as it was an 'espitalet' for the middle aged (ages) pilgrims who passed by (presumably with blisters, tendonitis or the need of a piece of bread and ham). A good name for me as there is always bread, ham and...
Can't believe it is now again only 9 months until I restart my Camino from where I had to stop (near Fromista) after 580 kms this May/June. I wait in limbo, walking training starts again when the hot weather here in SW France is over. I still read the forum every day even though I have enough...
Meaningful Pictures & Videos from your Camino
Loved it, and this is on the eve of my departure through injury. Am ssoooooo sad. Thank you for all the happy memories.

Uh oh. The sun is rising, the birds are singing and all is peace. Lying here in the comfort of my own bed with my 'last' cup of tea, all packed, house cleaned, food prepared for husband.....in two hours I walk out of the front door, say my sad goodbyes to him and my little dog and go up the...
Don't worry, Larazet and her friend who is joining her for five days will be starting then too! We will look out for you on the way.
Buen Camino!
Karin
I'll be leaving then too, with a girlfriend, for Orisson. I will have walked 200 kms by then and she zilch! Anyway, look forward to meeting you on the way.....
Karin, Larazet
Yes Shelly, i will be starting that day, or 20th (as I have no idea how long it is going to take me walking from my home here near Condom, France). Only 46 days to go until I start; both excited and nervous..... Staying in Orisson first night, are you? Hope to see you along The Way. Buen...
Officegirl: You are leaving SJPP the same day as me (hopefully, if I make the previous nine days walk on time from my home on the Via Podiensis) I too will just have had a May birthday and walking the Camino to celebrate it, amongst other reasons. Buen Camino, will look for your Forum badge.
Yes, we are bound to follow/see each other so look forward to that. I am starting a little further up the way but will be in SJPP by about 19th? My name is Karin! 5'2" eyes of blue, and old! Buen Camino.
You'll be coming past my house in SW France, look forward to joining you all mid May - only six months away! If you get to Condom before 9 May I'll give you a meal!
Hi Lotusflower. - we may well meet as I will be on the Way at the same time. I too have lived in Singapore (in the '60's!) and loved it, also KL and Malacca. I am looking for pelegrinos to share hostal/hotel accn every five days, so I can have a bath(!) and save money. Perhaps we will meet up...
Hi 'snej'!
Welcome to the Class of 2013! Where are you starting to walk the Camino from? Maybe see you on the way.
Buen Camino Karin living in SW France
Well done! Once I had made my decision, which happened very suddenly, I immediately took to walking a lot! It is now too hot here in SW France for walking so, I have been swimming 30 lengths every day - is that going to help me? IMHO walking a little every day will help - and gradually adding...
Hi Jodie! I will arrive in SJPP about then having walked from our home here in SW France. Perhaps we should leave together and encourage each other into going all the way over to Roncevalles! Am planning on four plus weeks from there... God willing. Buen Camino training!
Hi Zoe! I too am walking in May 2013 - and sooo excited..... I will look out for you. I am sure you will be safe. By the looks of things the high Way will be pretty busy in May so you will never be lonely. You'll be much fitter than me as I will be 50 years older (that does sound dreadful!)...
