    SLR Camera...to bring or not to bring?

    Thankyou for all your advice and.. WOW! some of the above shots are fantastic. Ive been attached to my Canon 20D for sooo long.. But this trip is all about letting go. Practically, it does not seem worthwhile to bring it. I ended up getting a Panasonic Lumix yesterday. Been working...

    Greetings Im new and walking in October 2013

    I've done some silly things.. but like everything, they all seemed like the right thing to do at the time. So I'm walking the Camino as a kind of a system reboot. Last year I turned 40, was married with kids and a mortgage.. Lets just say things are different now. I have no idea why but I'm...
