So, one reason I didn't walk the Camino this year was because of my ankle. But there was also a nagging feeling that I should not go, and I just couldn't put my finger on it.
Well, now I know.
My younger brother has been diagnosed with end stage liver disease. He is on hospice and we've...
I often get a last minute sadness before going away . I think its a combination of excitement for what's to come combined with the fatigue of waiting . I tell myself I can always turn around and head home if I really want to- but it's never happened . The nervous feelings vanish once I'm on the...
I haven't walked my Camino yet, but I often am asked why I walk so slowly . I have one of those invisible impairments, and I always reply ( because it's true ) " I'm cherishing. "
I have to ask : What kind of motorised vehicles are we talking about ?
And just a thought, but a Segway fitted with a hovercraft component for the rough spots might work....and a jet pack for those boring stretches :-)
Not too late at all, and I am very grateful for your offer. I will happily accept any kit you feel you can part with temporarily- of course I will return it when I get back. You're in Kingston? Any chance I can buy you a coffee and hear about your Camino?Looking forward to meeting you!!!!!And...
Such sad news. The Sisters of the Order of St. Andrew are praying for the peaceful repose of their eternal souls ; and that the Pilgrims' families and loved ones may be comforted in their grief and pain.
The Church in Santiago must go through a lot of money on upkeep with so many feet passing through. But I read it cost €800 if you wanted it to swing on an unscheduled day. Each person on the rope has to be paid.
At the beginning of the summer the cathedral announced that this year the botafumiero would be swung every Friday evening Mass. Their office would be the place to find out on which other feast days and special occasions you could also see it.
Wendy,even though there are many good reasons why your daughter is temporarily out of touch,its natural to be worried about her. Try to remember she is in a blessed place, and no matter what she is doing, your girl is in Gods Hands.
Blessings!
Thank you for the links and info. Would you do the Portugese again? I may still do the Frances, moving it up to maybe 2016, but yes, this is a wonderful opportunity, and I am very grateful for it.
Blessings!
I would think doing any of the Caminos backwards would be confusing. Most days I have...
Thank you Scruffy. That helps me get an initial idea of what to expect. What language should I concentrate on? I am fluent in french -will that be of any use?
