walked the Camino in the summer of '01 the biggest lesson I learned was to
'trust'. I didn't always get a bed in a Refugio but I always had a

of opportunity just as there was opportunity to walk with others if I
chose. I think this year is as good as any for your walk, maybe
better.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
