How the Camino can change your life: Personal experiences and expectations
Watching or hearing about others caminos is just the edited highlights. As others have said, quite rightly IMHO ...go with very little expectations.. no hype, no pre conceived ideas etc. Far better to live it for a while. FWIW I went looking for a little peace of mind.... found some too- markie6
