    Disappointing arrival in Santiago

    I can't wait to get out of the city, I'm here right now, I've gotten porked hard three times so far. Memory card, measley meal and hotel room. Off to camino finisterre in the morning. Hopefully when I come back my attitude will have been adjusted.

    Camping along the way

    I never used the tent but it assuaged some of my jittery insecurities at the onset.

    Quick spoiler, I sent the tent ahead to Santiago from Markina. I never needed it before or after. I didn't want to miss any camaraderie at the albergues.

    Accomodation in markina xemein??

    It was amazing. Don't miss it next time. It was magic. I won't spoil some of the legends of the stones we were told.

    Madrid to Irun

    I found the direct train. I'd thought I read somewhere that I had to go to Pamplona then to irun that way?

    Madrid to Irun

    I'm curious if an alternative route to Irun from Madrid is advisable for tomorrow considering I'd be passing through Pamplona in full swing of the San Fermin festival?

    All the alternative routes on the Norte - prepare or wing it?

    I will be doing the same thing. When will you be there?

    I have a pre-employment physical on Monday the seventh before I fly out for Madrid. It seems I will be able to take the job when I get back.

    "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." – Mark Twain

    I just received the best job offer I've ever gotten and ironically the start date would be the same as the day my flight leaves for Madrid. It is contract work in Alaska that lasts from July to October. My son who will be walking with me has to go back to school early September so this is our...

    Camping along the way

    This settles it, my tent is coming. I can't stand the idea of being pigeonholed because I don't have it. I've been reading too much anti-tent rhetoric and I vacillate no longer. The worst that can happen is that I have to give it away. The cathedrals mountains the sea and the rest of the scenery...

    The last 100 km

    One acting on one's own authority stands out. I haven't set foot on the Camino and it has altered me. I've dreamed of it for a dozen years. I will be walking and allowing my own Camino to unfold. I'm flying in to Madrid July 7 and loosely am going to head to irun by way of Pamplona. Let's say...

    Another Backpack recommendation request

    Where is this talk of people's packs not making it after being checked?

    Why does everyone have an opinion!

    People iltellectualize faith and know little of the fact that a religion or spirituality is a verb. They are the majority of people and they are content to ponder from the couch. Others like the people here exercise (pun intended) faith. You will be a source of inspiration particilarlay to those...
