    On the Camino: One day at a time, one photo at a time...

    It's about hospitality. On all my caminos I have always been touched by the warmth of the people who are welcoming the pilgrims. But sometimes hosts are going further. Yes, you see it well: 9 jam jars, all home made. And an apple and two boiled eggs, for the road, because you never know...

    Shower etiquette dressing space

    It's one situation where the glasses come to help: once they are not on my nose, I am not able to distinguish if it's John or Mary... And I don't shower with my glasses! Problem solved;) Buen Camino, Jacques-D.
