Camino Portugues - 2018

1/23/2018

“Walk” began with the purchase of the Camino guidebook by John Brierley. Trying to read through it to gain as much knowledge as possible before the actual walk in May/June.

So far I have learned that at least part of the C.P. was actually part of St. James’ path during his teachings about Christ.

Being the one who really enjoys tech stuff, I have the latest in high tech gear - backpack, poles, towel, etc. So, I plan on training with that as I go forward.

Claudia, who is taking me, took me on a trial walk at the Balcones Canyon Lands Wildlife Refuge near Marble Falls, Texas. Cloudy and cool, but overall a good start. The equipment worked well, including the GoPro. Actually, too well. I recorded our voices too, which I didn’t expect. We had a good time talking and not talking. And I believe we will be fairly well compatible during our 2 week Camino. So, things have begun on a very positive note. No real fears. Just anticipation.Weiterlesen
