I walked from St Jean to Finestere with my hubby. We transported our bags. Then had to return to walk from Lisbon to Santiago this time carrying our bags. We are currently in San Sebastian seeing people on the Norte and it brings back fond memories. I an certainly a changed person. More chilled and able to take things as they come. Thanjs for rekindling memories.

Wow Carol, you have the knack of easing our minds and their “busyness” about all that needs doing in preparation for an exciting adventure. I am inclined to overthink everything but I am surprisingly relaxed about my first pilgrimage. I’m walking la via Podienses (Le Puy to St Jean PdP) in September. I am almost ready in terms of gear and only need to buy the small items ie toiletries, first aid and the like. I am 60, and a woman walking solo which is how I prefer it. I am already teying to prepare myself to go into it without expectation and a state of mind of simply allowing what each step may bring, physically, mentally and emotionally. Like you and many others, I am at a crossroads. Thank you for your insighful knowledge and for your valuable presence. Best regards, Hilda
