    Santiago Garden Statue

    Very nice Rick!! Did you find that online? We have sculptors here in the US that use chainsaws to create statues in wood. I may try something like that... Rambler

    Santiago Garden Statue

    Thanks everyone. We are looking for a good way to represent the Camino in our garden and I was hoping to find something. I agree, it may be very expensive. Rambler

    Santiago Garden Statue

    I am looking for a garden statue of a pilgrim or Santiago that I can put in my yard as a remembrance of my Caminos. I remember seeing some small (2 foot) statues of rough stone when in Santiago, but cannot find anything on the Internet. Any ideas? Thanks. Rambler

    FICS Forum: Why Change the 100 km. rule to 300 km.?

    Being a practicing Catholic, it is intriguing that so much is being made out of a document that has no direct meaning to people that are not Christians. If the paper is not an issue for so many people, set a stack of Compostelas in front of the pilgrim office and let anyone that walks by have...

    380gms! lightweight 35 litre pack

    I ordered one of these 35L packs from Amazon. The brand was Shacke FeatherPak and it was US$17.99. David is correct that this is a great value and much better made than I thought. It also comes with a lifetime warranty and supposedly, by registering, I will get a rain cover for it. (We'll see.)...

    I am watching IT again :) THE WAY

    This entire line is missing in the US version. Daniel next says in my version: -Margaret Meade did not become a great anthropologist by staying in school. Do you not have that line? Rambler

    I am watching IT again :) THE WAY

    Yes, please do!!! It is not in our US version. Thanks. Rambler

    I am watching IT again :) THE WAY

    So I have a mystery that I am hoping one of you can help me solve. I also have fallen in love with the Movie The Way, and have seen it way too many times. Several years ago, I was at our church's youth group meeting where they showed the movie off a computer. But this version had several...

    380gms! lightweight 35 litre pack

    David, I suspect a Chinese manufacturer is knocking these out wit multiple logos. I think there are about 4 others on Amazon that are the same. I don't know if I would want to take this on the Camino, but it looks like a GREAT travel pack! If it gets messed up, you don't have much invested. And...

    380gms! lightweight 35 litre pack

    They have these on Amazon in the States: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FUUWE6S/?tag=casaivar02-20 Looks like a decent travel pack. Rambler

    Just a question..:)

    This becomes a very personal question the more you think about it. Have more time (I would love to take a year!) Stay in the less frequented places (this is hard to do if you make a Camino family that has a set agenda or does not share your same interests) Not plan so much (The Camino provides)...

    Father's day

    Koi: That is well put. As the Movie says: "Our children are the very best in us and the very worst in us." Rambler

    Father's day

    Koi: Father's Day evening we were lucky enough to be invited by a group to join them for dinner. The discussion turned to Fathers and I realized how much I had learned about my son on this trip by seeing how he interacts with others. He also has his Grandfather's love of architecture, which...

    Father's day

    Al: the sentiment is appreciated. I lucky enough to be here in Ferrerios with my son. It has been a good Father's Day so far. Rambler

    Is this bedbugs?

    I agree that the CSJ albergue would likely have taken all actions possible to eliminate the issue. Just surprised they told others that they knew nothing of it. I assumed it was a different one, but you described it. I had really wanted to stay there but was afraid to.

    Is this bedbugs?

    Oztrekker: Which albergue was that the confraternity one claims that know nothing of it. We are in Rabanal today and chose NOT to stay there because of this message and I told others to ask. Don't want to assume that you are referring to the English one when it could be another. And don't think...

    Am I being a bit of a light-weight?

    Someone once said that exercise is like depositing money into your longevity account. Even if you do it little bits at a time when you can, it all adds up. That has made me change my mind about focusing so much on "going to the gym" daily and thinking more about using the stairs, walking to the...

    Thank you Camino de Santiago Forum.

    Let me echo Laurie's sentiments to you both. You have been good counsel and fellowship on our "virtual" pilgrimage so far. I will add you both to my prayer list and promise an extra hug to St James later in June. Rambler

    How is the weather in the Pyrenees in the spring 2014?

    Can I put in my order for sun starting June 1st, please? And just a bit warmer weather. ;) Go ahead and turn the heater on so that everything will dry out quickly please. Thanks. Rambler
