Hi all,
I am please to have read so many of your inspiring stories of pilgrimage to Santiago. I am considering walking the North Route from mid-November 2012 until I arrive in Santiago, sometime in December. I enjoy cold weather hiking in the US. Are there others of you who are going that time of year on Camino del Norte? I understand that it will be more of a solitary trip. Yet, I would be open to traveling with fellow pilgrims. I am not sure yet as to the viability of the trip given my schedule with work, but I am planning it as best I can. I am trying to take care of the major issues (medical insurance, etc.) while leaving the rest of the details alone and just winging it. It makes me nervous to say the least, as I have never been to Europe. So, I am taking a leap of faith. I would welcome conversation with with those who share my passion for this endeavor.
David
