<font size=3>Oh, thank you. This is most encouraging. I am looking
forward to the final walk to the sea.<br><br>
I am doing a wimp's walk of the Camino! I had not done anything like this
all alone and was unaware of how many people actually do it. So I signed
up for a van supported trip run by Linda Frey.We will spend the first 11
days seeing highlights from St Jean to Samos and walk about 100 miles of
this total distance. At that point I will leave the group and walk the
rest of the way to the sea alone, so as to earn the Compostela and see
the ocean at the end. When I signed up for this, if I had
known what I know now from you good people, I would have simply planned
to walk the whole thing alone. But there is always next year. And I know
that I will learn a lot from Nancy who seems to have devoted much of her
life to a study of the Camino. Although I am 63 I am in top shape, spend
2 hours a day on aerobics and weight training, backpack in the desert
mountains, and I know I could walk the Camino with no problem. <br>
