    A Saint For All Ages (And an advanced readers request for my upcoming Camino book)

    Hi everyone, The story below is from a post I published on my website earlier today. It's about Sainte Foy, a child saint who was martyred back in the fourth century during the Great Persecution. Today Sainte Foy's relics are in Conques, France, which is situated on the Camino for pilgrims...

    SJPP to Santiago in 30 days?

    Sorry to hear about your delay. The walk from SJPP is wonderful, and I don't think 30 days is extreme by any means. I would say that it's not ideal to rush, or feel rushed, along the Camino. If you decide to walk from SJPP, and you're in decent shape, my recommendation would be to walk longer...

    Here I go

    I walked the Le Puy route a few years back. It's incredible. Best wishes on your journey! There's usually a special morning mass for pilgrims in the cathedral.

    The enduring legacy of the movie ‘The Way’ (and a new book by Jen Hutchison)

    Agreed, I occasionally search for The Way on Cable, Netflix, and Amazon P, and can never find it available. I guess I could always purchase the DVD, but I’m disappointed that people just can’t simply stream it if they haven’t seen it before. Up until a few years ago, it was more accessible.

    Thanks for sharing! Yes, I definitely saw the movie before I walked my Camino. While I liked the movie, I didn’t really feel connected to it until after I walked the pilgrimage myself, and saw many of the same landscapes in person. I can remember at least a dozen conversations I had with...
