Pocket Camino Guide

Two weeks ago mom, Hannes and I gave a Camino Presentation at REI called "Impressions, Insights and Intrigue on the Camino de Santiago Trail", and I'm happy to report it went smashing-ly well despite our frayed nerves beforehand. It goes to show that practice does make perfect. And Mom, quite frankly, brought the house down like a stand up comic. I couldn't be prouder of us, but most importantly, we were thrilled to see a full house of future pilgrims with smiling faces looking forward to their own Camino journey. Afterward we celebrated with Cava and Tortilla Espanola like old times on the trail and discussed our future hiking adventure - The Cathar Trail. More on that later... For now, as promised to the crowd that night, I wanted to include on my blog a PDF of the amazing pocket-sized booklet Hannes made on the Camino full of resources, suggested itineraries, a packing list and all-around good advice. CLICK HERE to download... and enjoy! Oh, and my Camino love wishes me to tell you to print it 'double sided' in booklet form. A copy center can help you with that should things go awry at the home office.
