It’s now January 2014 and planning is well under way. We’ve purchased and studied John Brierley’s
A Pilgrim's Guide to the Camino de Santiago and spent hundreds of hours on the computer researching and learning
all we can about this amazing trail. Books
we’ve read include Pray for Me in Santiago by Therese Burkhardt-Felder; My Husband Made Me Do It by Margaret Wilson; The
Way My Way by Bill Bennett; A Million Steps by Kurt Koontz; Behind
the Alburgue Door by Dean Johnson and A Journey of Days by Guy
Thatcher.
To quote Samuel Johnson “Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves or we know where we can find information upon it.” We’ve certainly found information on this subject as there is an endless stream of information out there on the Camino, and though we are still devouring as much of it as possible, we can now say we know about the subject ourselves. We also know that at times walking conditions will be cold, wet, windy, muddy and steep. We expect at some stage to endure fatigue, painful muscles, sore feet and blisters, yet not only are we determined to undertake this trek; we are immensely excited at the prospect and wish it could begin now!
