It is now just six weeks until I leave Tampa FL for Spain and the Camino. To say I am excited is an understatement. The most interesting thing to me is that while I have trained and prepared I have become a Pilgrim, "To Walk Far Carry Less", the title of a book by Jean-Christie Ashmore pretty much says it all. I have thrown off 30 lbs in addition to all my doubts. I am embracing the spiritual side of the pilgrimage. Hope you enjoy the attached post by a fellow pilgrim, Bill Walker.
