    Advancing Gerontological Episodes

    Well I must be really suffering from A.G.E. because I barely remembered that it was April 1 today and furthermore I am struggling (before noon my time) to come up with something better than I did nearly a decade ago

    Walking the Camino with parkinson's

    Open my return to Canada, I game down with COVID. I guess I can thank Air Canada, initially for the 5 hr delay in Madrid, followed another 4 hr delay in Toronto whereby we passengers spent 3 hrs sitting in a cramped plane at the gate before the pilot decided to let us off again, only to drag...

    Sorry for being so slow in the daily posts. It becoming one of those Caminos whereby you lose track of time. Proving to be the most challenging Camino I done. Now staying at the Casa Rural Vilarino.
