Enjoyed watching the trailer on the link. I have not seen this advertised in the USA yet. If someone hears about if or when it is here, then please share. I would see this movie for no other reasons than it is about the Camino and Johnnie Walker is expanding his repertoire of his accomplishments.

Thank you for posting the article. I was unfamiliar with the British Pilgrimage Trust, and I am grateful to have learned of it. In reading some of the posts my mind turned to Epictetus' statement, "The first and greatest victory is to conquer yourself; to be conquered by yourself is of all...

I am a walker and hiker. I have learned that there is great wisdom is listening to my body. When I begin my day, I review my goals before beginning. My goals seldom dictate getting to a specific point by a specific time. If I sense something painful, I take care of it at the time rather than...

Hello David, without any desire to beat a dead horse, as a genealogist what is of primary interest is family roots, not a city of birth of a living person. I tell people I have an interest in family history, a particular interest in where family names come from, etc. My questioning is applied...

I am a genealogist and I often ask individuals what their heritage is and/or where their ancestors came from. Color is misleading and is NOT a reliable characteristic to evaluate or determine where one might come from. Please don't assume these types of questions are anything but a valid or...

My perspective is different. The Alhambra is one of the ultimate expressions of Muslim thought and way of being. Observed from the exterior it is a simplistic, drab-colored building with little architectural quality to capture the interest of observers. However, after passing through the front...

It seems I read from Dr. King's work in 1920, that the majority of the pilgrims were criminals that were either given the opportunity to walk to Santiago and returning with proof and be pardoned or took the opportunity to walk seeking forgiveness. The wealthy went for reasons of safety of their...

A nice morning on the river casting a dry fly to just the right place in the river. Good times to you both. Glad that the flights went off well, your father in a more stable condition, and a good cup of camp coffee sounds wonderful. Appreciate the updates,

It is good to see Dr. King's work mentioned. I have had this three-volume set for many years. It was the first set of books that I ever purchased on the Camino. I recommend it to all those who have an interest in the Camino and enjoy an academic's own record of experience and research.

Hello Andy, for me it would be easy to just go to the airport late Monday evening. If your flight is at 4 a.m. then you will need to check in, for an international flight, no later than 2 a.m. I would not waste money on a hotel. That is just me; just do what feels right for you.

When societal norms are being ignored on multiple levels, we should expect that almost everything that builds a civil society be cast off in favor of the wants and desires of the individual. Respect for the community is a foreign concept.

Expectations can warp our perception of priorities. We get so caught up in our expectation that we forget about what is happening around us. Your daughter is in a very delicate situation; your granddaughter is in an even worse situation. Now is the time to recognize what your family needs are...

Greetings, what a great beginning by choosing Toulouse for your Camino. I lived there several decades ago and committed to the southwest part of France as a place of great beauty and wonderful people. I would not worry too much about which stage you take through the Pyrenees mountains - by the...

Yup, that was the one I saw advertised. Thank you for helping by identifying what my mind had misplaced.

My mind is like mush - I just cannot remember what I read yesterday. A new airline, the name I cannot remember, is flying from the USA to Europe and had some really inexpensive airfares advertised - New York to Paris $199 round trip. I really wanted to buy tickets to take advantage of the...

Welcome to the forum. Let's not make assumptions about the comments made by others. It just gets confusing, and it places us in a position of projecting far too much. I have been around the forum for a few years; it is not a place to take things personally. Read what you want and ignore the...

A worthwhile item to bring along for those of us who enjoy a cup of tea or coffee is portable heater. Here is an example of several: https://prnt.sc/nCzP6BXJgY82

A delightful read that made me hunger to be a pilgrim going to Fatima. So many opportunities for inspiration, contemplation, and finding joy along the way. Thank you for sharing.

This type of behavior is beyond my comprehension. I simply don't understand why some individuals are motivated to take this course of action. Worse is the harm they do to others - the effect they have on another's psyche, emotional health, and personal enjoyment are at a minimum irresponsible...

I don't see any conflict with what Father Rohr said and what you have said. Of course, it is still a pilgrimage. Is that not what Rohr said also - the exterior prayer is always calling us to the interior prayer? The discussion of pilgrimage is a worthy topic - attempting to judge who is and who...
