American Pilgrims on the Camino... Yes, I joined them in January 2016. They are very supportive and give great information although everyone has their own ideas about shoes and socks and backpacks, etc. Whenever I post a question I get a dozen immediate answers.
I received your post card of Las Vegas... and will deliver it to Antonio when I get to Navarette. I also plan to have the pilgrims' menu at his restaurant!
The gift of giving... I would love to meet you in Santiago. However, I start walking from Pamplona on 7 September and arrive in Santiago on 4 October 2016. I will be staying at Saint Martin Pinerio for three nights before heading home. I will probably blog once a week when I stay at my "recovery" hotels...with a computer/business center. It looks like I'll miss you this time. I look forward to reading your blogs about the Camino Portugal.
See you Santiago We will be back in Santiago from our walk to Finisterre so will try to connect on 4th or 5th of October. Ask for Harlan or Karen Sager at Hotel Pazo de Altamira and we will do the same at your hotel when we get back in Santiago. We fly out the 6th of October.
Reading about your pilgrimage to Santiago has been a blessing to me... I especially liked that someone in your church gave you $100 to help others along the Way. I don't think someone will give me $100, but hope to be on the lookout for those who need help when I walk the Camino next September. I look forward to reading about your forthcoming trip to Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
The gift of giving. Bob and Linda,
Have not logged on for several months. So sorry we did not update blog with details of our Nicaragua, Costa Rica trip. We will be doing the Camino Portugal in September arriving in Santiago the 24th. Would be great to meet up with fellow Bloggers who have captured ALL the rewards. Harlan and Karen PS staying at the same Hotel Pazo de Altamira again.
Santiago Father Joe was the priest that was giving the pilgrim service when we were there. He has been there for some time or just keeps coming back. Sounds like you had a great Camino. Bob
I plan to complete my Camino... a year to the day from this date. Now I know what weather to be prepared for...hot at the beginning of September and cold/wet at the end. Thanks for providing such a complete account of you walk thus far.
I've just finished reading all your blogs up to this point... and am left hanging! It's 12 October 2015, two weeks since you've resumed the Camino and no blogs. I hope you start writing soon. I will be walking the Camino next year at this time...from 4 Sep to 8 Oct, so am very interested in your experiences.
Late Blog entries Hi, yes it is much more time consuming to write, edit, attach photos than expected. Cell phone to cloud to chromebook to blog is tedious. But we think you will see a few more days now.
If it is not the destination but the journey; then why can you not get a ticket to travel, unless you have the name of a place, to where you are going?
