<DIV>I am an older (60+) female originally from California, who will be walking the Camino beginning May 1 2004 with a friend from N. Carolina. Our reason for walking will be for world peace. We will be walking from St. Jean Pied de Port to Santiago de Compostela. </DIV>
<DIV>My background as a peace activist in a number of different arenas throughout the US as lead to this walk. Particularly of importance and also I am interested if anyone who might be walking around the same time, and anyone who plans on travelling to Barcelona to attend the Forum 2004. </DIV>
<DIV>My friend does not have computer access, therefore I will happily transmit any relevant data or information needed to make this walk successful and relevant in this year of war and violence throughout the world. </DIV>
<DIV>I do have a copy of your wonderful book, Linda - it is full of great historical information about the pilgrimage. Also a copy of a Spanish phrase book - would request a general sense of how fluent one should be to communicate with the Spaniards - or like most places in the world do many speak English- or more French -</DIV>
<DIV>Looking forward to getting some comments going, sharing information, and possibly getting to know in advance some of the others who will be sharing this route over the May-June period.</DIV>
