CF September (2018)
While there is not a lot of practical information included here, you may enjoy reading The daily blog of this peregrino’s Camino Frances. Scroll down to the very bottom of this web page to begin from my first day on Sept 6. I had not believed myself capable of this much walking in a day, but remember, our bodies were made to do this! The blog address is:

Enjoy!

Hi Jackie
I read you very good blog with interest as I too started at St Jean on Sept 6 walking into Santiago on Oct 13. I identified with many of your observations and photos too, a few I have at slightly different angles . I'm still catching up on sleep - when I do I might post my blog but you've set a high bar. Well done for both finishing the CF and for your excellent blog.

Oh yes, i recognize your picture. We met on the trail several times. I believe you were with me and another German fellow who were lost in the city and a local woman led us thru a short cut back to the path. Is that you?

Nicely done.

Tip... There is a setting in wordpress (using a simple plugin) that will allow you to re-sort your posts into ascending or descending date order. Saves people having to 'read the book' in reverse, (from the bottom up) which is not easy for some. like me, :oops:
