Time of past OR future Camino
plan to walk in 2014
I am so ready to begin my pilgrimage I wanted to share my start date of August 31st with my fellow pilgrims. My wife Pat and I will arrive in St. Jean on the 29th or 30th by train from Paris. I hope some of you on this site will be on the trail when we are. It will be my pleasure to give whatever I can to all who have been so helpful to me during my planning stage. If those who blogged to me aren't physically present the Holy Spirit will guide me to others. Buen Camino all.

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Welcome Ken! The pilgrims are, for the most part, very generous with advice and encouragement. Have a Buen Camino and post back!

And another attempt looms, to buy a decent Poncho after trying and failing in the previous two likely towns. Anyone know where an Altos or similar might be bought in Leon, please? 😁
