    one of my favorite Yiddish sayings is “der Mensch tracht und Gott lacht” So when you hear god laughing remember all your planning and laugh with him.

    rookie seeking advice please

    Buen Camino, I get it you only have 20 days, what is important to you? To arrive in Santiago? The pilgrimage ? The walked way ? Sight seeing?

    Travel Company versus doing the Camino Frances alone

    Disparaging "The Way"

    My uncle was a musician and he played for big gipsy weddings and it’s truly a privilege to be invited to their festivities. I agree there a such and such like everywhere else. I think a bit color for the uninitiated traveler in the movie. If you like the whole movie is full of stereotypes...

    Disparaging "The Way"

    I enjoyed this thread. When Paul was walking through town he heard a child calling tolle lege take and read. So when I was reading that comedian version of kerkeling a comedian I did not like at all of his Pilgrimage I was myself in a bad place but something sparked. When I saw the way I only...

    Your opinion is greatly appreciated on our first Camino

    Italics or not? A question of style.

    As a famous soccer player said: “ Again what learnt.” He is famous for taking sayings word by word from one language to another and so much none sense is created that way.

    Tacky or Cool?

    It goes in an ensemble with shower shoes or sandals shorts a white ripped undershirt and brimmed hat and glasses with the movable sunglasses. Plus a book guide and you need to know everything better and does not hesitate to instruct his fellow man. Then they are perfekt.

    The camino is boring landscapes, paved roads, traffic…

    On my first Camino I thought it was important to finish it and embrace the saint but then I walked on to Muxia. The next year I started two Camino from different directions and being time restricted job wise planned on continuing as I could. No. I think I never left the Camino reallyU it’s part...
