    Dress Code (esp. Shoes) in Michelin restaurant in San Sebastian

    My wife and I have been in many of San Sebastian restaurants, Michelin star included, just dressed in our Camino clothes, usually with the boots, but I also have a super light pair of shoes to give feet a break from the boots. We have eaten in Michelin star restaurants in Paris, and again just...

    The spirit of Camino

    For me the Spirit of the Camino is my inner voice, a voice that day to day is drowned out in our 24/7 hurry, hurry society. The Camino is the opportunity to hear the voice. Possibly the change we sometime feel from the Camino is just our responding to our inner voice, our real self.

    Are you 70+ and still walking Caminos?

    Walking from Le Puy, a farmer had put out a table, chairs,pitcher of water, pitcher of fruit juice, for any passing Pilgrims. So, we stopped to enjoy his generosity. The farmer came and asked the usual question, how far have you walked? I told him how many kilometers, but added that at my age...

    Being a Christian on the Camino

    Obviously, the Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela was originally, and for eons after a Catholic endeavour. But, today, walked by, peoples of all faiths, beliefs and none, the Camino recognizes all as Pilgrims, and all are touched in some way by the "Spirit" of the Camino. The Camino will...

    I am not a "Camino pilgrim"

    Maybe the Camino is a little side road, to work on better sign posts and repair the pot holes, for the main route our journey of life. Our main road is under repair, as we walk the Camino. The road of life is not necessarily smoother in the fast lane.

    I am not a "Camino pilgrim"

    Like it or not sounds like the words of a Pilgrim to me. Welcome to the Club. In today's world of 24/7 connection many don't have the time and/or take the time to actually stop and become aware of the Present. The Present can also be a scary place for some people. The Camino for one and all...

    Looking for a room in San Jose, CA - need Camino cash?

    Excuse me, but I don't think this is relative to the idea of the Forum.

    "The Sacred Path Is the One We’re On"

    I agree an article well worth sharing. In today's world of labels - Democrat, Christian, Republican. Green, Liberal, Conservative, and on and on, we need to be reminded that we are all climbing the same mountain on the journey of life. Peace!

    Ok What is this thing called Camino

    Just live the "Spirit," of the Camino, regardless of the place you are in.

    What if you weren't a Camino purist and...

    Well said, it is not about wearing hair shirts and self-flagellation. Aside from some tour groups or those who want to set an Olympic record for speed, ourselves and the many we have met along the way are open to the whims and ways of the Camino with no concrete plan. It is daily practice of...

    Lessons from the Camino

    Just thinking - any suggestions? Simplicity – On the Camino you live day to day without many of the things that you earlier thought were indispensable. While minimal, all the essentials are carried in your backpack; Simplicity is a constant, including the night’s accommodations, and many of the...

    Beautifully said, then after you have finished and gone, it has the audacity to call you back.

    Where did you walk ( locally ) in 2017?

    Our local trails in the Sierra Nevada mountains at Lake Tahoe, Nevada in winter are done on snowshoes. At Chickadee Ridge the wintering flocks of Chickadees are fearless, they land on your shoulders, head, and eat out of your hand.

    Are you pilgrim or walker?

    Like the question Pilgrim or Walker, we each have our own definition, and as the Forum shows the definitions don't necessarily agree. So, with religious practices, some are private, cloistered; some wear hair shirts and practice self-flaggellation; while others sing, shout and dance. Nobody...

    What's the Difference between a Pilgrimage and a Long Walk?

    The Peace Walk didn't exist until a year or so ago. Involving Austria, Hungary and ending in Italy. The purpose to commemorate the wars that have ravaged that area, including the "war to end all wars." A noble project, but it only accommodates a few with reservations. History shows that since...
