I was lucky to get a Spring Harvest off my Spaghetti / Cherry / Lemon / Watermelon / Orange / Blueberry / Eggplant Trees. Here is a fresh plate, right off the tree...
The tough part is separating the different colours.
Not sure if learning Spanish has begun but I have been studying, daily now, for nearly 1,000 days on Duolingo. But the best recommendation I can offer is to look up, "Camino Spanish," in any browser and see what comes up. I know there is a short series on Youtube but there may be other hits.
…or…a real adventure and do two things;
1) Go completely minimal as far as pack contents, including the smallest, lightest pack you can get away with,
2) Book absolutely nothing.
The Camino provides, but if you need nothing, how can the Camino prove this?
Update for 2019 -
Back from the Camino, first half of May, 2018. God and the Camino told me, "Michelle, you can walk 100 km." I had gone from SJPP to Manero, just after Puente de la Reina, then not only was the IT Band screaming but all my left leg quads were screaming in harmony. Still not a...

I started the Camino Frances a second time, just a week ago, feels like longer. I fell down a spiral staircase, not a grand palatial one but a steep one, in a hostel, on my...
I am considering the Camino Del Norte for 2019 but I leave for SJPP tomorrow morning and will start on the Camino Monday, May 7. See you out there. That is where we are. That is what we do.
Still taking a sleeping bag for May / June, (it has been a late, cold Spring), and walking the Valcarlos Route as I have done the Napoleon Route in 2016. Also arriving in SJPP May 6 and leaving on May 7. It takes a couple of days to adjust from jet lag.
