Hi, Portia,
Just wanted to say that as I sit here deep in the midwest dreaming about the Camino, I very much look forward to hearing how it goes for you.
I think I remember that you posted about having lost your camera along the way, specifically in Hospital de Orbigo (don't know why I remember that). But anyway, I just wanted to tell you that this past May/June, when I was walking the Caminos de Madrid and Invierno and walked from Sahagun to Ponferrada to connect the two, when I got to Hospital de Orbigo I asked in a few places whether they had found a camera that had been lost.
Anyway, I wish you a wonderful Camino, all the very best. Abrazos, Laurie
p.s. do you have the Via Lusitana SOS peregrino number? 915 595 213. It's on 24/7, and the people who operate it would be delighted to help in an emergency. I met a bunch of them in Lisbon last year,and they are wonderful polyglots, eager and ready to help.
