Haha, I took this route almost exactly a year ago and I meant to send a message to update the app. I took the path through the farmers field, down into a hardly-used path that was overgrown but clearly following the WisePilgrim path. I remember saying aloud to myself, “well, here’s the solitude...
Thanks so much for the opportunity to open up about my feelings regarding this film!
A firm #2 here. When I was planning my first Camino, I watched it and I pretty much hated it (eye-rolling script, bad acting, shallow characters representing ridiculous stereotypes; I could go on). I have...

Yes, this is exactly the reason for my original post. I know the bots are everywhere, but I don’t recall being offered the opportunity to see in real time which bots are actively searching a given site. I find it fascinating and I appreciate the work of those who manage this site. I’m always...
