      Interesting - I’m still using my free version without any issues.

      The basic features are free. You’ll be limited in the number of photos, editing options, etc. without a subscription but otherwise the app works.

      A single photo today, and apologies for the fact that the sun was shining! The photo is of a plaque inside St James's Catholic church. I will look for more information, but you can see the first date top left. The current building is 19th...

      Pennsylvania has an abundance of state parks with beautiful trails to walk year-round. I hit up Hickory Run for one this morning.

      There is a taxonomic hierarchy that many of us ignore when we are travelling. first and foremost we are travellers some people will be travelling for employment now, study for future employment, attending work related conferences, etc, and they...

      I don’t understand how going on a retreat “contributes to the welfare of others.” Nor do I see how walking the Camino does either (unless you are a hospitalero, but in that case you aren’t actually walking). Indeed, it seems that these are all...

      I think you're over-thinking things. Something pleasurable can also have meaning. Any kind of travel experience contributes to the welfare of others. Whether you walk the Camino for the pleasure of a nice walk, or because you seek meaning in...

      Yes - 100% agree with this. I just refer to it as a ‘walking trip’. I am not religious or spiritual so for me to regard it as a pilgrimage and myself as a pilgrim would sound a bit daft, and my friends would smile at me. I am a deep thinker and...

      If vacation means "time off" from obligations, then I'm certainly on vacation. When my children were young, we often went on vacations to Spain and other warm countries. And, lying on a beach or a pool, OMG I don't know anything more boring and...

      ShoshTrvls replied to the thread Pilgrimage or vacation?.
      My Camino walks are definitely my vacations. Admittedly, I'm not walking with a religious motive, but I don't think the two terms are incompatible. A "vacation," to me at least, means leaving the routines of my normal life -- work, doing...
