I am BobM from Australia. My camino starts on May 17

Hi

I am planning to walk the Camino Frances from St Jean to Santiago, starting on May 17. I have trekked at high altitudes in Nepal (Gokyo Ri, Annapurna) and walked at high altitudes in Bolivia and Chile, but the camino will be the longest walk I have ever done.

It will be a challenge for a control-freak like me who likes to plan things in detail. In fact, one of my aims for this walk is to try living in the moment. Very Buddhist!

I am also looking forward very much to sharing my journey with other pilgrims.

Best wishes for your own pilgrimage.

Bob M

March camino!

Greetings from Montana Bob,

I think I will be two days ahead of you as I am staring El Camino from St. Jean on March 15. I have five weeks to reach Santiago.

This is my first long trek. After 17 years of nursing and building Sage Mountain Center, a sustainable living education center in Montana, I think I am going to need that amount of time to...unwind, re-allign, re-vision, reform, etc.

I'm sending out a wish for your camino Bob- may it be everything you hope for, and more.

Namaste,

Linda
