I WAS due to walk Sept 2013... but something has come up at home...... sooo torn..... Camino will be there next year...... have to make a decision to stay home this year...... reluctantly ........ still........trying to hold on but have to make decision...
It took me 13 days but stopped 5k form santiago so could of done it sooner but one or two days I walked further then planed because I was chatting to other pilgrimsPaddy
I leave in a couple weeks to do my first Camino. Also starting in Astorga. How long did it take you to get to Santiago?
I was in León and I could not help feeling some envy when I saw the pilgrims, but, at the same time, I liked the perspective of watching pilgrims go by because I think that sooner than later I will be one of them (I hope so).
I started out to walk ONE Camino from Conques to Santiago and then Fisterra and Muxia last September and October. What happened? I couldn't stop walking, and have now done three more, and can't wait to do another.....
I'm afraid it is true there is no cure!
Like you I think I met with Angels. Sorry about the similar photo, your accompanying friend looks like mine!! Miss the Camino and the camaraderie so much, can't wait until the next time. Did not experience the overcrowded albergues as I walked from Irun on the North route. It was not until I joined the France route at St. Irene that I realised what crowds were!!. Next time I hope to walk the English route as a short peaceful experience. I never expected such an experience and only wish that my whole life was as peaceful, close to God and with so many close pilgrim friends as my time on the Camino. Buen Camino and God bless you all.I was on the camino in July from stJdp and even today I don t know if people I met were real or angles.
Miss every day and also the meetings with God, myself and the nature.
I bless the Camino. May you live for ever, offering peace, friendship and hard physical work.
I completely agree with your sentiments Leddy I walked the same stretch in June and feel just the same. Reading 'mspath' just a few posts earlier. He gives a quotes by Blaise Pascal, that explains all our feelings very well .Very well put Leviro. Everyone I met along the Camino were such good, kind people. I walked from Leon to Santiago in July and I miss it every day. It really opened my eyes up to the things that really matter. An experience that will forever be in my heart. Hope to do it again next summer starting from St. Jean.
Hi Paddy. I walked the Camino Frances in June this year. I've only been back for a couple of months and all I can think about and talk about is the Camino. I think it's starting to drive my family crazy!!! But, yes I understand what you mean....I miss the Camino so very much. It has been the best experience for me. I can't wait to do it again. Would love to do the Camino Portuguese or Le Puy next summer. Or maybe just do the Camino Frances again, staying at different albergues.I walked from astorga to santagio in may this year it was fantastic only thing is now I miss it thinking of doing it again same time next year but starting in saint jean anyone else miss the camino
Cableseller- I walked from Astorga to Santiago at the end of May this year. We walked for 11 days. A couple of the days were pretty long but doable. Twelve days might be perfect. Have a wonderful Camino. The walk from Astorga to Santiago is beautiful.Paddy

Having read your post, I miss it even more ! Delighted for you, hope it goes well. Perfect time of year too...Autumn sun in leafy Galicia, brilliant.I miss it a lot..... . One year to the day i will be doing the Camino Portuguese then the Camino Ingles this September. The year has gone so fast and with
only a few days until I leave for Portugal the excitment is starting to build....
Always thinking about when and how will I continue the camino I had to abandon. I also have a little silver shell I wear that I bought in Burgos to commemorate the end of my camino or possibly to keep the camino near at all times. I ponder ways to make the camino a part of my life either here at home or possibly going to spain to volunteer. I met a few volunteer hospitaleros this year in spain and it seems a good way to see/experience the camino.
Yes, I saw the other day that there is a course being offered only 12 hours away from here next spring. Ironically after looking at the camino forums here today I checked out prices to spain for next spring so I might be heading back to walk from Sarria to Finnestere instead.
