Camino rose
Thank you for reminding me of these beauties! On my 2016 camino, I got lost in Logroño on a Sunday morning when not many people were around, but I was helped by a Peruvian woman named Rosa who walked me back to the Camino route. I bought her a café and we chatted a bit before I was on my way...- elleley

Hoping to start the French Way 1 April 2022
Yep, all kinds of weather during those months, so good to be prepared. I got caught in a snow storm in Fromista in April and walked that long stretch after Burgos in cold rain and sleet, but also experienced beautiful days filled with spring flowers and baby farm animals! Go for it and enjoy...- elleley

Will walk Camino for first time in 2023
Hi Anne~ What a great adventure you have in front of you! As others have mentioned, the time to prepare is great to gather information and gear, but dangerous in terms of setting expectations. Overplanning = expecations, and they are a set up for disappointment. I turned 60 my first night on...- elleley

What's your earliest Camino connection?
Yes, great question. Have to thank Shirley McLain for her book, El Camino. Found it in a used book store many years ago and was intrigued by the cover and then the idea that a woman of a "certain age" would walk across Spain. (I hadn't yet read Peace Pilgrim's book...) I found the story...- elleley

Going in September
Hola Lynda Sounds like a great plan to me! I did the same in 2016 on the Frances. Retired, sold my house and walked sola. Found a beautiful Camino family (and I'm an introvert) and never felt scared or lonely. It gave me time to consider moving forward with my life in a new Way. Buen Camino and...- elleley

searching for hala, a small place, better world
Hola Anna This sounds like a beautiful vision and that you are both moving toward it. Your story reminds me of a woman I met on the Frances near Palas de Rei, Galicia. She is a shiatsu massage therapist from Austria, I believe, and she met her Spanish husband the last day of her camino in...- elleley

Yoga Hombre
Hola Ben! Your excitement comes through in your post! I am excited for you. Like the idea of sending your pack ahead to Roncesvalles. My pack walking over the Pyrenees was too heavy and was the start to my horrible tendinitis. I would have LOVED to meet a fellow yogi along the Way to find ways...- elleley

Mim & Clare’s 1st Camino Francese 2018
Stop by the church of Saint Jacques in Paris, the one with the red door! I stopped by to say a prayer and put on my shell to officially start my first Camino Frances in 2016. Wishing you a muy buen camino. No matter what, it's always one step at a time. Ultreia! elle- elleley

So excited to start!
Buen Camino Linda! I walked around the same time as you on my first pilgrimage in 2016, stating on 8/27 in SJPdP, a wonderful time to walk in northern Spain. The vineyards are ripe and the sunflowers are still in bloom. Beware! The Camino has a way of getting ahold of you...I am about to walk...- elleley

Just saying hi...
Hola Shari! I admire your spirit to let go and let...whatever happens! After three pilgrimages, I am finally going to walk my fourth without my cell phone. I have rarely made reservations, as I am not sure where I will land each day, one of the delights of this experience! The only thing I...- elleley
