    My spiritual awakening

    For me the camino is about change. Letting something go. The crowds have been challenging. I was spiritually challenged by a woman that pushed in at the coffee line in tradadello and the albergue line in la faba. The older south african lady let her know not to push in. I just got angry...

    Dogs of the Camino Frances

    As a dog lover I thought I would start this thread to encourage pilgrims to share there encounters with mans best friend. This dog reminds me of an Australian Kelpie. He is very quick and wily.

    Pamplona Burger King health warning

    The burger king presents a health risk to pilgrims. Not from the food it is delicious but from the seating. They have a nasty thim foam bar that protudes from this ninety degree frame. It pushes midway into your spine making it bend in an unnatural way. One of my vetebra moved and it was...

    Lepuy on a low budget

    I have completed the lepuy to saint jean today. Physically it was easy for me. The hardest part for me was the french people trying to sell me dinner and breakfast. They try and sell you these things for an extra 30 euro on top of the 15 too 18 dormitory. They never tell you what is on the...
