- Time of past OR future Camino
- June/July 2011 and 2013
Greetings, folks: I have been planning my first Camino (Frances) this summer, but just recently am having second thoughts and thinking maybe I need some encouragement. It's not any one thing, but several recent factors, including physical ability and finances. On Saturday, I walked about 10 miles with an 18-pound pack, the heaviest load I've carried so far. The walk was pretty tough. Am I fooling myself to think I can actually walk from Pamplona to Santiago during the month of June, averaging 16-17 miles a day? Also, I'm beginning to wonder about the "smartness" of spending $3,000 on such a trip, when I need to replace an aging car, put some money in the bank and help my daughter get started in college. I have a job that pays pretty well, but that I do not enjoy at all. I want a new life. Any thoughts?
