I walked the Camino, and now I get it everyday in my in-box. From people thanking me for the site and others who are not quite so happy with the world as it is. I get to remember every day the Camino, to read emails from pilgrims all over the world who plan on their Camino. It is a very special gift I receive everyday.
Today I have been working on the Camino site, putting up more information that I have been planning on for a while. I don’t do this full time, it would not pay the bills, it’s for fun and I wanted to learn how to build a web site! Then once I had it up I, of course, wanted the best Camino site, my poor head…
Today I got to read a story and add it to the site, here is the intro:
I feel very lucky to have this type of information to read every day, it makes up for some of the other reading that has to be done.
Hi Leslie,
I would love to get some advice from you… I have been planning to do el camino for about 10 years. I live in Australia and have the chance to go to Spain in Oct but I only have 8 days for the walk. Can you recommend which part I should be doing?? Not sure if there would be another opportunity any time soon to complete it so I want to make sure I do the nicest part.
Any advice would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!
How can one be a judge of the nicest part of El Camino? When I first walked the Way of St. James I asked a friend who had grown-up in Spain a similar question. I asked: “Which part should I walk first? I have only 14 days.” She suggested that I do the end of the walk so I could walk into Santiago de Compostela. I did that; it was right for me. But this year while walking St Jean Pied du Port to Burgos, I met seven Norwegian ladies that are making the journey – in stages – from Le Puy, France to Compostela. That sounds like a lovely way to do it as well. See more at my blog, http://www.wittigwriter.blogspot.com. –pilgrim Stacey Wittig, Flagstaff, AZ
