<P>Dear Linda,</P>
<P>Thanks a lot for your answer and information. Since I am a fast walker and have 20 days to do it, maybe I could start before Leon? I do agree with you about the journey being more important than the destination. It is the process, right?</P>
<P> I am planning on getting some additional information at the Spanish consulate here in Lisbon about the camino. Do you think that by walking just half of the way one gets the same benefits from, say, starting at St. Jean? I'd appreciate if you kept me informed about your findings. I shall do the same as I get more information. Bye. Take care. God Bless.<BR><BR></P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>>Hello Carlos
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>My name is Linda O'Leary-Lyons. I'm a 58-year old Canadian living in the province of Ontario ( north of Toronto).
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I am researching walking the second half of the Camino (from approx. Leon) to Santiago de Compostela. I am also planning on mid-September and I am told that that portion should take approx. 15 days.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I want to experience the spiritual and to do it at my own pace. You know - about the journey not the destination.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>As I find out more information I'd be pleased to share it with you and I'm sure you will find, as I have, that this site is invaluable. People are very helpful and I've learned much already.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Write any time
<DIV></DIV>>Linda
