    Close encounter with the bulls

    Ya know, they used to tell hikers in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming to wear bells, it alerted Grizzly Bears of someone approaching and therefore did not startle them. But then they started missing tourists, and finding bells in Grizzly dung.:eek: Turned into dinner bells I guess. :rolleyes:

    BBC Program "Celebs" on the Camino

    Face cream, Bronzer and Lipstick-$600 Color coordinated workout clothes and Gucci backpack-$5000 Twitter account on a silver IPhone to keep the paparazzi informed -$800 Her face when she saw the mud and rocks on the downhill side of Monte Irago - PRICELESS.

    What size is the Compostela certificate?

    Anemone del Camino, thank you for believing in me!:confused: I am worse than my IPhone Autocorrect sometimes. I went back and edited the entry so as not to confuse the common people. :rolleyes: I am moving to a Condo in Beaufort and trying to downsize and declutter, but when I came across the...

    What size is the Compostela certificate?

    There are two tubes available at the Pilgrim Office where you get both compestela. If you are opting for the distance compestela also, get the red tube, which is longer and will hold both credentials easily. Bom Camino!

    River path to Burgos closed.

    Me too. I gain weight just looking at someone eating cookies. I gain weight watching cooking shows. I gain weight going to the Doctor's office because his scale is broken and mine is correct. And I gain weight when I walk thru the mud. It's just not fair.

    River path to Burgos closed.

    If the River Path is closed that means pilgrims must walk the dreaded Factory Path, going around the airport and trudging kilometer after kilometer on sidewalks past factories, businesses, and car dealerships. The heavy truck traffic is noisy and smelly. The lack of food, water, and toilets is...

    Move over Debrita and SEB. We have a Yellowfriend bringing tapas!

    On the Camino did you ever say?

    Hello Davina, Your roller coaster life has been mostly downhills for a while. I hope and pray the hills straighten out into Mesitas and give you respite. Every mother I have ever had a conversation with has doubts about her child rearing skills, some large and some small. To doubt yourself about...

    I stopped my Camino in Burgos....why...

    Hello dear Yellowfriend, You are a unique and special individual. Do not try to judge your success or failure by other's standards. Your body, your mind, your heart and your soul will tell you when and where you need to be, and discomfort and pain begin when you do not listen. Congratulations on...

    Pilgrim Mass

    Pilgrim Skittles?:eek:

    Pilgrim Mass

    Treat the experience as you treat your Camino, especially the last 100 k. Allow your mind to wander and accept the distractions, then disregard them and focus on your objective, the mass itself. When you permit others to interfere with your experience by their actions, you give them the power of...

    LIVE from the Camino Is it all hills??

    Eddie, Post some pictures for us! Share your joy! And the descent is not loose stones. (this is a lie.)

    On the Camino did you ever say?

    You just bought yourself a seat at the grown up table. Grab a glass and I will pour.

    LIVE from the Camino Is it all hills??

    I love your attitude! "Oh it's hard mountain walking!" "Oh my clothes are so wet!" "I'm having the time of my life!" And that, dear ones, is how you explain the Camino (but don't tell Everyone about the wine)

    On the Camino did you ever say?

    Sounds like an old joke... Debrita, Coleen and SEB walked into a bar.....

    On the Camino did you ever say?

    Debrita and SEB, I'd buy the first round (got the winning lottery ticket right here in my pocket!) You are right that many people carry their loss with them. When you reach 60 people you love start dropping left and right. I am one of only 2 left of the 7 siblings in my family. I carried ashes...

    On the Camino did you ever say?

    Oh Debrita! It's you and me kid! We're gonna burn that Portuguese trail up with our fast feet and nimble minds! I am a slow, half stage walker, but I will sure buy you a vino or café con leche if we meet. And I'll listen to THREE of your stories, so have them picked out. You rock girl!

    On the Camino did you ever say?

    Oh heck yeah. For that whole first week I felt like the stupid old fat woman who was slower than everyone on the trail, that ached and just wanted to lie down after a meal while everyone else laughed and talked and sang. What was I doing? Why wasn't I acting like all the other pilgrims...
