Letting go - pressing forward - simply live life.
My Camino continues. I came home Oct 2013 after walking the CM 500 miles. I endured a hard 14 months. I was let go of a really bad job Nov 2014, then viola, the Camino rewards and blessings. I now live in one of the most beautiful places, Sun...
Yes, suffer you shall. :p I wouldn't consider any pain or discomfort or lack of sleep suffering.......I call them and any other thing you encounter on the Camino that makes you uncomfortable - growing pains. Be greatful and feel blessed that you are given these challenges, because with them...
Hello my fellow pilgrims. It's been awhile since I've written, I hope to find you all happy and healthy and helpful to those in need of Camino advice.
For a month or so now I've heard a whisper and now a tugging that is turning into a constant pulling. Yes my friends, I hear the Camino...
Haha, I chuckle only because when I arrived in Roncesvalles, my head immedialty hit the pillow. When I woke after a few hours I pulled the bocadillo that I got in Orrison from my backpack, went outside and had the best meal on the Camino. I can't say the best meal ever, that was in Florence...
Walking alone on the Camino Frances was so peaceful. I walked from SJPdP to Santiago 97% of the time alone, it was magical. I do however, have a great awareness of my surroundings, good instinct and intuition. But was caught off guard on the early morning of day 2 when leaving Roncesvalles...
Welcome to the forum Michael! I'm so excited for your Camino, it's going to be a blessed experience.
2130 is pretty late and if traveling on a Monday then I would definitely advice getting a room in Biarritz or Bayonne. From my own experience the last train out of Bayonne on a Monday is...
I remember this man a refuge of shade, oj and a hard boiled egg. What a refreshing site, everyone stopped for nourishment. God bless him for being there.
From the American Northwest, I flew into Paris (CDG), took a shuttle (18 euro) to Orly (ORY), hopped on a flight to Biarritz (BIQ), taxi (23 euro) to train station in Bayonne, train to SJPdP. The only delay was the train going into SJPdP and that didn't bother me because it was the last...
April 25th, my birthday, so remember to celebrate your first day on the Camino. :) I decided to do it in one day. I was probably the last pilgrim out of St Jean that morning but managed to get to Orrison and have lunch with others I had met the night before. It took me the average 8 hours...
Selfish, not necessarily. I hear people walk 100's of miles to get a slice. Let me know when your date of birth is and I'll see what I can do ;) Cheers to knew found friends and Happy New Year!!
There are no words for this picture except pure ELATION!!
I plan to get my slideshow together from all the pictures I took on the Camino.
What are your plans for the New Year??
NOTE: I borrowed this picture from another.
@t2andreo I'm so happy you are going on another pilgrimage, someday I hope the same for me. I couldn't dream of asking someone to take their time searching for a flag while in Santiago, there is so much more to be done. However, if I'm still in need and you happen upon one, I won't turn it...
Oh when the Saints go marching in, Oh when the Saints go marching in, Lord how I want to be in that number, Oh when the Saints go marching in. :D
We are traveling in the footsteps
Of those who've gone before
But we'll all be reunited (but if we stand reunited)
On a new and sunlit shore (then...
Looks good, nice presentation, very pretty. How does it taste? My friend Roel from Holland absolutely loved these cakes. I sent him a whole bunch for his birthday.
Happy New Year to you too and enjoy the memories.
Ah, "Brierley stages", "Brierely stages". Haha :)..................On my pilgrimage (one and only so far) I took a Brierley guidebook and I'm glad I did. I really only used it to see where the alburgues were and how many k's between them. I started following his "stages" then felt...
