Losing the phone did not bother me as much as the thought that my phone/ tablet was stolen in the Seminerio
I am so glad that I have google plus that backs up my photos, but no telling what else of importance is on my tablet., like dear diary thoughts and notes. I am working on changing all my...
I think everyone I met along my Camino are special. Local people as well as foreign from all over the world. I am bless to meet so many good people along my pilgrimage
Staying in the Albergue Seminario Menor in Santiago with hundreds of other pilgrims you can feel a good vibe of other pilgrims who has just completed the Camino. Without thinking that someone would steal in the Seminario was beyond me as I plug in my Samsung tablet/phone to be charged along...
Its not the suffering, but the sacrific you make; it your Camino, your time, your steps. You need not suffer to do the Camino, just say no! This is my third Camino coming up Sept 26th, 2016 True to say another adventure. Everyone I have met, had conversation with and party. I have not met...
This is my third Camino to begin Sept. 26, 2016, only this time I will ride to the coast on a bike after I reach Santiago. When I get to the end, I might ride back to Santiago and donate the bike to American Pilgrim house or to a church where a monk may need some simple transportation. Anyway...

Just keep walking one day until you are tired, and then some. Expect your daughter to find her stride and walk further. Best thing to do is not carry too much stuff. Just basic stuff of change of clothes, your journey is just ten days. Practice and practice, if you have never done the Camino...
Yes there are many things that you can do without and if you want to be a true pilgrim and not have these luxuries, do the Camino without them. You don't have to take a smart phone, you do not have to use the internet, you can camp out on the road. Up to you on how primitive you want to be. I...
Its a shame that there are people like this, I was approach from a man from Germany, but he was robbed. I was duped because I was always kind and just gave him 20 euros. He ask for my e-mail address so that he can return the money, to this day, I never heard from him. You have to beware of...
