Me Time

Yes, I need time to restore my organization.
Next April and May I plan to walk the Camino, the thousand year old pilgrimage trail that culminates in Santiago, Spain. I’ll start with a friend by the French border and walk west along the ancient pilgrim way. We’ll walk about 15 miles a day, six days a week, with rest days in some of the larger cathedral towns along the way. We will carry our own gear and stay in pilgrim hostels along the way. At the end we’ll receive a pilgrim’s blessing and a certificate, and I’ll cross this item off my bucket list.
Although walking the Camino is not a religious act for me, it is a spiritual one. I love being outdoors, walking in nature, passing through historic communities, enjoying an ancient way. It is simple, renewing, and profoundly enlivening.

Hi Jay. I was in Ronda a couple of years ago. I am curious if you are trecking, similar to your Scotland trip. Is it possible to hike village to village in Andalusia?

Hi Jay. You already piqued my interest in the stories you’ve shared on “Jay’s Travels.” Now that I see the photo, even more so. Me time is important. Even more important, where do I get such a hat?
Wow Jay – fantastico! How long will the walk take overall? I’d love to do this walk someday myself :) R
People walk all different lengths, from months to weeks to days. 60 miles is the minimum to receive a compostela from the Cathedral in Santiago. Many allow 4 to 6 weeks to do the 500 miles from the border with France. Others go for just a week or two. In France I met a man walking from Brussels to Santiago, and back!
Totally inspiring! You lead such a good life.
As always, enjoyed your whole e-bulletin.
