    Is it designed to work on a laptop as well as a smartphone?

    Camo replied to the thread Entry to the Cathedral.
    It says "possible" (in English) but Daniel is OLD Testament and so he is situated on the LEFT side of the Portal, and as he was not a martyr the base of "his column" has just beasties AND they are hungry for martyrs and don't look happy at all...

    Camo replied to the thread Entry to the Cathedral.
    per Wiki: "At the time, design and iconography were decided by the archbishop, his canons, and Maestro Mateo. The Archbishop Pedro II was a francophile and a main influencer of the iconography on the portico. Examples include the simple, yet...

    Camo reacted to Waka's post in the thread Time for more compostela type certificates? with Like Like.
    I agree stop issuing certificates. If you are a pilgrim and you're doing the journey for a certificate then I think you're doing the pilgrimage for the wrong reason. Just my thoughts, pease don't hang me out to dry, or worse still have me cancelled.

    Camo replied to the thread The Way 2.
    Yes we never got to see what any of them had to make their rucksacks so huge so being Emilio I can only take that as very subtle satire (same as the "gratuitous butt walk" of bloke at clothesline). We saw from night in the open they did not have...

    Camo reacted to David Tallan's post in the thread Entry to the Cathedral with Like Like.
    This is interesting. I wonder when pilgrims started entering through the west portal. I always thought it had been for centuries (convinced, I admit, by the handprint that had been worn into the central column). I just went and checked my...

    Camo replied to the thread The Way 2 - Characters.
    Pity about Sarah who seems to have been fully "reformed" in her The Way "outcomes" (as we must say now for 2020s monetary policies) so we don't see her any more. She will in fact do another Camino but it will be like Shirley McClain and she will...
