El Camino de Penitente

Hi!
I'm Ray and I'm planning to walk the Camino next year, in 1997. Other than what I have read about Compostella historically, I know nothing about what I'm planning to undertake other than 1) I'm a type 2 diabetic, 2) I suffer with arthritis, and 3) I feel I'm going where the Holy Spirit is sending me... :lol: I'm 60 this year, and would like to travel with others who have their own agenda's for completing this pilgrimage. I have been to Lourdes, found it too commercialised and not very spiritual; I have been to Fatima and found that to be a place of bubbling spiritual joy, but to complete my life I would like to enter into the Camino and get my Pilgrim's Shell. Blethering on, I know, but I'll be carrying many prayers and intentions for those living , and those who have gone before us.
Sinceramente
Ray
