September Camino Hi everyone.

[Travelchick]

I'm walking my first Camino from sjpdp September 10. I'm really excited about this opportunity and looking forward to the challenge, the people, the scenery and the experience. I've been reading through a lot of these posts (many hours spent doing that) and appreciate all the advice that's offered.

You'll have a wonderful time, around every corner there will be a surprise, just embrace it all.

You will do just fine, but you have to listen to your body.
Wish you a wonderful journey and a Buen Camino, Peter.

You lucky pilgrim! You'll be in San Juan de Ortega for the solstice - this year will be the fourth time I've missed it

Ok that's good to know. Can you give me a little more info?

Ah sorry - at both the spring and autumn solstice a beam of sunlight enters a small window and illuminates a carved frieze depicting the Annunciation. As the sun moves the beam shifts along the figures.

You'll need to be there just after 5pm - it lasts about 10 minutes I'm told.

It's the day before my birthday and I never manage to time it to be there on the right day - it happens just twice a year. This year I'll be back in England by then

Oh, bummer! I'll be there four days too early! :-/
I'll keep it in mind if I'm running late... Thanks Jeff
