Hi Rebecca, thanks for the invite and say hi to your dad. My biggest stressor was the contents of my backpack and making decisions way before I even put a foot on the path. I ended up carrying 16-18 lbs on my 130 lb body without issue. But man, reading what everyone said about 10% of your body weight but pack all this stuff was quite overwhelming. Buen Camino!
I totally get it! We say you don't need to bring a whole lot to walk the Camino, but then there are as many "packing lists" out there as people, it seems! Thanks for this -- a post about choosing what to bring will be forthcoming!
