walking the walk

[Guest guest]

sun, how's the pyrenees trek looking? was curious

when we talked about this last time but i didn't want

to interject anything that might actually have

something to do with the topic of the forum: when you guys

do your walks, trips etc., do you keep your practice

going or do you defer until you get back. do you camp

along the way or hostel/hotel it?

thanks for asking, okiedokie. We might have a

change of plans: we are thinking of going to our beloved

Thailand in Feb. instead of Spain. If we postpone the

walk, it won't be for too long, though.<br><br>As far

as the walk goes, you can stay for free or a nominal

donation at the monastaries along the way; it's a holy

pilgrimage walk and these places have been serving

"pilgrims" for centuries. Supposedly you do need a sleeping

bag.<br><br>Your other question: about practicing. We usually

bring our mats on the road. Often we stay a while in

one place, get into a routine, and can practice

regularly. On the Camino, however, I can't see even bringing

the mats because of the space limitations. Anyway, I

seriously doubt I'd be able to regularly practice much more

than sun salutations while on the camino-- oh well!
