    Thank you

    A special thank you to Dave Whitson for his shortcuts on the GR 65. We had a beautiful day walking by the river Lot into Cahors instead of the regular route. It takes a lot of work to create guidebooks and I am grateful for all who do this for us.

    Two pilgrims trapped in tree by a cow

    I’m old enough to remember newspaper clipping services (before the Internet) and I appreciate Bradypus posting Camino articles for us from the Spanish press. Thank you.

    Children’s book with the spirit of the Camino

    My granddaughter received this book for Christmas. It isn’t directly about the Camino but rather sharing the joy of nature and climbing to the top of the mountain for the view and companionship. There’s even a page on picking the right hiking stick.

    My Camino shopping

    I found these collapsible dog bowls on Amazon, 2 for US $5.99. A whole lot cheaper and still larger than the Sea to Summit cup I have. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VT1468W?tag=casaivar02-20

    Get to Know the Camino del Mar

    So glad to see a place to stay in Teixido. I had planned to walk this Camino with my wife in March 2020, but it was hard to figure out visiting Teixido. Covid solved that issue. We’ll put it back on the bucket list. Thanks for all your work.

    Nasbinals - Hotel La Route d’Argent bait and switch
