My feelings exactly! It doesn't matter which route I choose or whether it's in France or Spain, every time I'm called back I meet the most marvellous people.JohnnieWalker said:I personally don't exclude the possibility of walking other kinds of trails in other countries - it is just that I haven't run out of camino routes yet!
I have been in several conversations on the topic of "something like the Camino in the U.S." There are numerous insurmountable obstacles. It is hard to repeat the model that has lead to the Camino Frances. Even the other routes in Spain and in France have less infrastructure. Local groups in France create gites every year to make their route a bit more amenable to pilgrims.it looks like it doesn't offer the traveler nearly the same level of support the Camino did.
Hi Monica. You'd have been disappointed in your Camino if you didn't feel like this. It's something that will stay with you for the rest of your life and one of the major achievements of it. Winston Churchill and Prince William here in the UK have (or had) scallop shells on their coats of arms, except for them the actual achievement was made by ancestors centuries before them. Be proud and plan your next Camino!MoniRose said:Stop it, everyone. You're making me cry. When I told my son I wanted to go back he said, "But Mom, there are a lot of other places you can go instead of doing the same thing." I thought he was right until I listened to my heart. Thank you all for helping me see I'm not crazy. The Camino was the place I fell in love with myself. Why wouldn't I want to go back? - Monica :arrow:

Buen Camino!
The peterrobbins site is a listing of all the christian pilgrimage routes in Europe, not my personal achievements.colleencamino said:Hello DougF,
It looks like you may have walked from the western tip of Switzerland across France. Do you have any information that you could point me to about that. I would love to start there and continue to the Camino from SJPP to Santiago.Thank You!
I love this! What a great description. And to you as well...Buen Camino.Fransa said:The most amazing things happen to people walking the Camino - you get access to your own inner landscape.

compliance51 said:Best addiction in the world. We all long for the simple life of the camino where your feet are your biggest concern. It's so comfortable being with like minded people and walking through medieval towns. It's the walk, the people and the peace one finds that beckons us to return. We forget all the pain of hobbling into our albergues, the blisters, the loss of privacy and we welcome the communal relationships we accidentally found. La Puy for me next year.
