    Here I go again

    Carlos Nunez

    I'm going to see him in concert tonight (3/14) in Bethesda, Maryland. I try to see him each and every time he is in the area. I'm very excited and just had to tell some people who know who he is and would understand my excitement. It is so cool to see him and then know that I'm on my way to...

    I couldn't stop myself

    At Durham Parish, my lovely wife prepares and prints the service bulletin for the worship services. Usually it is a simple affair with more coordination, which she is very good at, than technical complication. The Christmas Eve service bulletin is another item all together. It is a booklet...

    You know it's too heavy, but you pack it anyway

    Since it is the off season (for most of us) and we are coming up with items for discussion, here is one to consider. Do you have an item that you know weighs too much, and that you shouldn’t put in your backpack, but you bring it anyway? I’ll go first. Six bars of Dove soap. Why? I only...

    Who "owns" the albergue at Roncesvalles?

    I'm doing a talk on the Camino in a week or so. I was trying to add a bit about Roncesvalles and I found out that I really don't know how to truly describe it. Who does it belong to? The Church? Is it still a monastery? Thanks for any help.

    The long awaited day will arrive with the rising of the sun

    That sounds overly poetic for what I'm trying to say: I LEAVE FOR MADRID TOMORROW!!!!!! My nephew and I will arrive on Tuesday, and Wednesday we will board a train and arrive in Sahagun around 1:00 PM local time. I am so excited. I probably won't be on line here very much because the site...

    I fly out Easter Sunday

    and arrive in Madrid on Monday morning. I will begin my "slack-packing" Camino from Sarria on Wednesday with Marly Tour. I'm very excited to be taking along my wife and 4 very good friends. I am so excited to be able to see a first Camino through the eyes of people that I love. And also more...

    Will Brierley have a 2015 update

    Does anyone know if John Brierley will have a 2015 update to his Camino Frances guide book? Thanks.

    We're all signed up

    Six of us!!! A couple that we know wanted to do one of the "slack-packing pre-packaged" caminoes. So it's this couple, my wife and myself, and two other ladies that will be walking from Sarria to Santiago starting on April the 7th. I'm very excited for my wife and friends to have the...

    Shipping stuff back to the US

    In June my nephew and I will be walking from Leon to Santiago. After that, we will then be touring around Europe for another couple of weeks. We will be bringing some items appropriate for the Camino and some other items more appropriate for backpacking around Europe. We will mail the items...

    Proper pronunciation of Sarria

    What is the proper way to pronounce the name of the town Sarria? Is is "SAH-ree-ah", with the emphasis on the first syllable, or is it "sah-REE-ah", with the emphasis on the second syllable, or is it something altogether different? And is it proper to roll the "r's"?

    Where to get a credential (pilgrim passport)

    Roncesvalles, whether or not to stay

    I will be beginning the Camino Frances on May the first. I will spend my first night in Orrison (I have a reservation). I had planned to stay in Roncesvalles on the next night. From my Brierley guide, I see that the distance from Orrison to Roncesvalles is about 17 K. My question is, would I...

    What auburgue's would you avoid?

    I saw a similar topic on the Camino Frances forum. Thought I would ask the same question here. Thanks.

    Laundry Soap

    What kind of laundry soap do people here use while on the Camino? I will be walking the Camino Portuguese in September. It will be my first time walking the Camino and my first time backpacking. In March I met a young backpacker in Athens who had walked the Camino. He was giving me some...
