Welcome Zordmot,
Thank you for sharing your observations.
They aren’t unique but not everyone can see that in themselves
I found that the one thing on the Camino, and
in Life , is NOT to have expectations. They color everything and so much of the time we are disappointed!! I’ve learned over...
I too ordered mine and am waiting. I’m from Cleveland, Ohio but am in Phoenix Az visiting grand baby and can’t wait to get home and try on mine.
I’m praying for the day when Spain opens up forAmericans to enter again.
Buen Camino to those of you who are now able to enter and walk again.
IT is also a mystery to me as to what will happen in 2021. But I am confident that we will be on the Camino next year.
I have realized my desire is to be on the Camino and not necessarily walking. so I have decided to volunteer in and Albergue to give back and still be a part of the...
Thank you Bob from LA,
That was a moment of hope in the dark world of COVID .
I feel a bit more blessed for the hope of returning to the Camino as I am going through chemo and will be done by the end of 2020.
So my return to health should coincide with the opening of travel and the Camino.
I...
Reading the posts keeps me in touch with the single most impactful event in my life after becoming a follower of Jesus Christ. And the Camino has given me a purpose second to none!
I first did the CF in 2013 and ever since I have been been looking at my life with different eyes.i remember...
This virus has turned all our lives upside down. Who knows what life will look like when it’s all over. I pray that during this Caminoless Time we reevaluate our lives and for those of us who don’t count on a weekly pay check to survive perhaps we can pick out our favorite Albergue , tiendas ...
What a great idea. Our last full Camiño we were in SJPdP down by the water faucet and we found a wallet. No one was around so we wrote a note and left it by the water faucet and we went to the pilgrims office. We stood there for over an hour calling out the women’s name . All of a sudden a women...
It’s so cool that in Spain people live mostly in close proximity of buildings and pisos. They can open their balcony door and interact!!
in America we live in seclusion and it makes it harder to all interact!! In any event we are praying for safety and success of all workers and efforts to...
Since my first CF in2013 I have been obsessed with it returning 3 more times.
I’m married and must consider my wife with each return. I have had many physical setbacks over the years no the least of which I’m now 76. I think daily about what if a can’t walk it any more. My mind goes to mule or...
Happy new Year to all of you on this forum.
I have enjoyed all your participation and help over the years . I wish for you’all a Buen Camino in years to come and for those of you in Cleveland Ohio let’s connect.
Blessings,
Deboy
It brings me to tears.
I went to a screening in 2010 of a movie???
Didn’t know anything about. At the end of the movie the lights went up and there in the first row were Martin Sheen and Emilio Estovez.
They were promoting The Way and they did a Q&A for 1/2 and hour. It took us 3 years to get it...
If we can live our lives with NO expectations we will open our selves to what ever”The Camino- Life” has to offer. And won’t miss those moments we didn’t expect.
Hi BartM,
Thanks for sharing. I too are hard of hearing and wear hearing aids and in large groups it’s difficult to discern multiple Hi conversations.
I think you were blessed to have had your “ first” Camino to be a contemplative one. Many many people never get that experience.. that’s a good...
I’ve felt the same and last time I took an t-shirt bag and picked up a lot. The bag issuance when getting your credentials is a great idea. But in any event, it would be nice if we just cared more about our environment.
After all we learn to pick up after our dogs
We should do the same for...
I’m a thin fat person!!!! It drives me crazy. I know how I feel when I’m wearing that extra 15 lbs. I look the same but feel horrible!
It hurts.
Getting out is my only solution. Rain or shine.
Discipline is my weakness. The Camino is my solution. Live there and eat what I want!!!!!!!
We stayed at Roots and Boots. Real close to the pilgrims office and very nice. I told them when I needed it at my Albergue and it worked out good. The kind of hop scotch the bag from stage to stage by the area carriers till it get to Santiago. So I think you need to give them a minimum of 6-7...
