Being very conservative, I will admit to having spent time judging my adult children who are both extensively tattooed. Then I spent 6 weeks walking the Frances with my daughter and actually had time to discuss the reasons and meanings for her tattoos. It allowed me to understand. I now have...

Please continue to post - I am totally addicted to your posts. I arrive in Ponferrada on May 29 and start the Invierno on the 31st. Your posts have me so looking forward to my next Camino. This will be my third Camino. Last year, my daughter and I completed the Frances and really wanted to...
I will be on my third camino this year on the Invierno - this time i’m fully ok with shorter stages and taking my time to stop and smell the roses - sit and meditate wherever strikes my fancy - arrive earlier to have time to wash my clothes and relax - go to mass in the evening. I had a rough...
Thanks so much for your responses- they are very encouraging as I am looking for a quiet walk - i have no issues with solitude!

Hello fellow pilgrims. I am planning my third Caminio for this Spring (last week of May and first week of June). In 2022, I walked the Frances alone from SJPP to Burgos and I fell in love with the Camino. This year, 2023, I walked the Frances again, this time with my daughter, from SJPP to...
Just a word of update the lucky pilgrim found her passport. A camino angel brought it to the next stage. The camino really brings out the best in people.
Buen Camino to all pilgrims out there and let’s keep taking care of each other 😊
We have just met a pilgrim who has lost her passport somewhere between Longrono and Navarette. Her name is Roberta Maguire.
If anyone has found it please respond.
Thank you
Hello - just to provide some information on my experience - I started the Camino Frances solo starting in SJPP on May 14th. I met and walked with several people and stayed in dorms in private albergues. I am fully vaccinated having received 4 vaccine shots - 2 initial shots and 2 booster shots...
What a lovely thought and thank you ! I leave tomorrow and am starting my Camino Frances journey in SJPP on May 15th which puts me in Belorado about May 25 if all goes well. We may cross paths ….
thank you that's good to know - Sahagun is where I'd like to get to but I don't believe I can there in the time I have unless I skip a couple of stages. Thank you for the information !
