I'd like to do this someday, it's getting enough time off to make it worthwhile that's the issue for me.

For anyone who's interested, I've been following a blogger, Sherry Ott, as she's been walking the camino for the last few weeks. She's about halfway through 6 weeks of her journey.

She's posting short things throughout the day, every day, on her facebook page; https://www.facebook.com/OttsworldTravel and then wrap up on her blog; www.Ottsworld.com.
I do like that she's been very honest about the frustrations and doubts she's had along the way. She's faced horrible weather and awful blisters but seems to be enjoying it.

Buen Camino to Linca and all those to follow.

Easytraveler.Good luck with the trip.And thanks for the comment on teh blog!

This is a dream of mine also. Buen camino,, travelers!

cruiseluv will be finishing her camino shortly, I believe. Can't wait for her report.

Looking forward to it. Will probably do mine before my 80th birthday - it's just so enticing!

BTW, forgot to add, here's a tidbit from today's news:

I'm back!!! It was everything I thought (and more). Just got back to the US today after spending 3 nights in Santiago and one last one in Madrid. I'll be writing a report although I must confess I wasn't diligent in taking notes or keeping a journal. Let me get organized here and I'll start.

PS Lin, thanks so much for the recommendation of Pulperia Ezequiel in Melide. We loved it, had lunch and dinner the next day! The pulp in Melide is definitively the best!

After watching the movie The Way, walking the Camino del Santiago was something that I would have loved to do.

But unfortunately I dont think that I would be able to do it..My back is not the best..It would have taken a full year to do the Camino..

So glad that was of use! Everyone is waiting for this report! Can't wait to hear your impressions. We have friends up there right now, too. It would have been a great year to hang out in Villafranca and salute everyone passing by! Friends form Cincinnati.. from Brasilia.. would have met YOU.. busy summer up there.

kismetchimera.. you can do a beautiful stretch of this camino anytime.. no need to do 100's of kms. if you are unable! If you are ever in the area, take a morning, or a day or two to enjoy the experience. Then treat yourself to some good food and tell us about it!

Cruiseluv, I am so glad you are back and had a wonderful time. I am rally looking forward to reading your trip report.

Hi,

I just posted the first installment here:

It might take me a while;I just got home yesterday and I'm leaving again on Friday to visit my family in Puerto Rico (and celebrate my dad's 90th birthday!).

Enjoy that birthday party! Wow!

Just putting this in my queue for planning the walk for fall 2014. Thanks to all who contributed here.

gruezi - why don't you plan for the October 2013 walk?

Hi Adrienne

Was checking in as I'm going to walk a bit from Geneva in March as a warm up.

Wish I could go in October but I'll still be in school until spring 2014.

This trip will be a graduation trip for me.

Now I'm going to check for all you walking reading over on the reading threads!!

Hi All,
I watched the movie The Way a few nights ago and think this might be a solution for my desire to walk across Europe.
This year might be iinteresting for me to do something like this. I'm not completely sure I like the idea of being totally adrift but this thread seems to have so many good ideas on it I thought I'd bookmark it.

Sadly the famous Muxia church burned down Christmas day.

Gruezi-

Buen Camino

From an old friend

Sad news about the church.

Hi IDH - and thanks. Am in Zurich just now and was just discussing Camino plans with my good friend. I'm leaning toward walking from Paris.
