<BODY style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff">I am a teacher (ESL) in a junior college in New York and an planning to make the pilgrimage along as much of the Camino as I can in the last week of May and the first few weeks of June. I am 75 years old but have hiked most of my life and even though I am much slower now, I hope I will be able to do at least do the last 100 miles. I am not sure where I should start - I would particularly like to see Burgos but that may be too great a distance. I intend to hike only about 8 to 10 miles a day and enjoy what I am passing through. I will be going alone, though hope to meet people along the way. Any advice about what would be a good place to start, places I should not miss along the way, nitty-gritty of what is really important to take would be appreciated. I have been reading your wonderful and helpful answers to e-mail sent in.</BODY></HTML>
