Hello fellow pilgrims:

I am reaching out to anyone out there who will be in SJPP on or about May 8th. I hope to complete my journey to Santiago within 40 days (God willing that my knees and back hold up). I have been preparing by walking daily, breaking in my new boots, testing the appropriate weigh to carry in my backpack, and relearning Spanish. I would welcome any feedback from fellow pilgrims. If you are in SJPP at the same time perhaps we can meet and share a meal. John from northern NJ in the U.S.
