April 27, 2012Trekking the Camino de Santiago de Compostela or the Way of Saint-James

Trekking the Camino de Santiago de Compostela or the Way of Saint JamesLet me introduce some of my interests and limitations. I am not a professional writer on the Camino de Santiago nor an athlete; I am an amateur (in the original sense of the word). Overtime I hope that I've become a bit of a connoisseur. These last few years it has become almost an obsession and I have spent many leisure hours reading about Compostela. Walking is my physical activity of choice and hiking is my favorite outdoor activity.

April 18, 2012Marcher vers Compostelle

Marcher vers Compostelle«Il y a en chacun de nous un randonneur. Marcher c’est dynamisant, apaisant, ça fait du bien à l’esprit et au corps.»
Voilà ce que j’écrivais dans mon calepin de notes mardi le 10 avril 2001, veille de mon premier départ pour Compostelle.

Je ne suis pas bloggeur professionnel et encore moins un athlète accompli, je suis un amateur au vrai sens du mot. C’est à force de marcher sur de longues distances que je suis, bien humblement, devenu un peu «connaisseur». Depuis bon nombre d’années, je lis tout ce qui touche de près ou de loin à Compostelle. La marche est mon activité physique favorite et j’apprécie au delà de tout la randonnée longue distance.
