2013 Camino Prep

Less than a week before heading to Paris and then on to Le Puy en Velay, France to start this year's trek across France, Portugal and finally Spain. Didn't get enough training in, so it looks like I'll have to walk myself into shape on the trail. Just read a post on a Camino Forum that you should not start the Le Puy route on a Sunday or Monday because shops and stores are closed and food, etc may not be available. Great planning, I start on Monday, May 20th. This is my first attempt at blogging in case you haven't already noticed, but will do my best to make timely entries, even though wifi is not as readily available on this trail as it was on the Camino Frances in Spain last year. The pic below was taken following my arrival at the endpoint in Santiago, Spain. The backpack you see has been tucked away in my closet for the past year. Will start packing it tomorrow and hope to at least try it on for size before I depart on May 15th.
