20 things to do and see in Santiago de Compostela
Are we safe in assuming that the Botafumeiro will be used on the Feastday of St. James, July 25th? Where would we find the posted Mass times for that day? Gracias! Farmer John- Farmer John

The Cicerone Guide by Alison Raju "The Way of St James" France, Le Puy to the Pyrenees is excellent. It lists all the gites d'etap and addresses and phone numbers as...- Farmer John

Anybody have an email address for the gite d'etape Le Relais du perelin Saint-Jacques in Le Puy? Failing that, a phone number, including Country Code? Do they take reservations since it's advertised as "pilgrims only"? Will be staying there two nights starting 14 May. Anybody else booked there...- Farmer John

Hey Pablo! Belay That! I'm starting not only 5 days after you but as far BEHIND you on the Way at Le Puy as Santiago is AHEAD of you! The only way I'll ever catch you is for you to be WIA and none of us want that. About the time you're on your hands and knees crawling up the cathedral steps to...- Farmer John

Class of 2013
Hey There Ol' Marine Pablo! Looking at the calendar, we're both "short-timers"! Got your gear all squared away? I'm having a hard time getting enough training hikes in with farming getting in the way! More aches and pains showing up than I would lake as well. So be it. D Day is 13 May, and...- Farmer John

OoohRah Marine! You probably had stripes and rockers by the time I made it through OCS since you're nine years my senior. I'm starting in LePuy 14 May so will probably never catch you but I'll be eyes-front for any signs of mayhem you left behind :lol: Semper Fi Farmer John- Farmer John

Bon Jour, fellow 2013 Classmates! Since my planned jump-off location is Le Puy, I'm spending my walking time with Conversational French in my MP3 headphones. Wasn't sure how many "new tricks" this old dog can learn, but the exercise in my head helps keep the exercise in my legs from being so...- Farmer John

Concerns relating to the current economic crisis in Spain
Gracias, Ivar and Sag10. I was hoping that was the case, and as I said in my earlier post, if the extra money added by the Pilgrims eventually aids the Spanish people, it will be just one more "plus" for the journey. Buen Camino, Farmer John A hopeful Pilgrim- Farmer John

Hi Laurie, Thanks for the informative and friendly reply. I checked out both NYT links which added to my growing cache of knowledge regarding Spain's ongoing financial pains.

Concerns relating to the current economic crisis in Spain
Hola Ivar! The economic crisis in Spain is a big news item in the US media daily. I realize many of the effects of the EU loan to the Spanish government have yet to take place.

Bon Jour Karin! I'd be happy to trade some of my stamina and/or conditioning, which you consider yourself short on, for what I presume to be your command of French, living in the SW of France. My plans have me starting from LePuy mid-May 2013 for an all-in-one-go to Santiago. Since that route is...- Farmer John
