[PMX:##] Re: Almost - dealing with the unexpected

[Carlos Mentley]

I would *love* to have 36 days to walk the Camino!  But please do not assume
that the journey is spoiled in any way if you have less time than that to
walk.  I walked from Roncesvalles to Santiago in 27 days in January, when the
daylight hours are much shorter than in the spring or summer, and I was very
happy with the way that the hours walking vs free time worked out.  Going with
the flow does not necessarily mean going slow--it always comes down to allowing
the Camino to give to you and take from you what it will.  (And that's my two
cents for this week.)
