Birthday omen

Colette Z

Happy Pilgrim
Time of past OR future Camino
CF; Norte; Ingles; Augustine; Portugues Central
I’ve been struggling with the uncertainty of when I can Camino again. Lockdown with my dog has been at times a gift vs lonely and boring but this forum and all of you has kept the dream alive. Today is my birthday and upon arriving home after my morning 8km walk (in the snow and -15C weather) this is what was in my mailbox.....definitely God telling me to never stop dreaming and planning my next Camino ❤️👣👣👣👣

Birthdays, in some respects, have gone out of style. Folks are too busy to have one. Others respond with a fixed phrase "Happy Birthday" on an email or FB and there is the friend or family member that voices "Please, it's just another day. Don't do anything special!" Then, they sit at home, or wait at the phone, hoping you DO do something at least out of the ordinary.
The Camino is anything but ordinary. Regardless of how you plan. What you hope will be a firm start date, lodging, or physical fitness at kick off...the Camino will be what is has always been...the final result of all.
A very Happy, heartfelt, Birthday.
Buen :Now blow out the candles" Camino

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

Love your words, thank you and yes as the years add up and we hope for many more years to walk another Camino we must celebrate our lives TODAY for none of us really knows how many more caminos we have 👣👣👣
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Happy birthday!

Lonely? Boring? With people like us to hang around with all the time, day after day? No possible!

Buen planning & Camino!
Lol you’re a fellow northerner......yes it’s is a forum to get lost in for days on end especially when it’s -25C 🤦‍♀️See you in Santiago one day!

Based on how many caminos you have completed, I think you will cope with Covid and be on the way when the time comes. For today, Happy birthday!

Merci beaucoup Anik. I’m looking to take my dog and stay in a cottage over the river for a few days , walk somewhere different a few days to save my sanity. 🤔
 
A delayed happy birthday from Copenhagen, Denmark.
I hope to met you some day on the Camino.
 
Any warmer in Peterborough? It’s too much cold already. Dream dream! Thanks

Temperatures not much different but a lot less humid here which makes a difference. Maybe, when things settle, we could meet in Ottawa and have a coffee chat. I am down there often as I have two sons living there. Enjoy your day.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

Thank you Australia. One week ago we had -27C but in Manitoba it’s -45c so Ottawa is relatively seasonably warm 🤣
