Oh, on the contrary, I love celebrating my birthdays nowadays. I so very much appreciate every time I am still here to celebrate. Especially being able to do so by walking another camino!
Hoping to walk the Invierno next month at 84 - se Deus quiser, lots of things can happen until then to stop me. I feel very lucky and savour every time I can still do it…
Has anybody mentioned pulpo? I like eating, but don’t like cooking. However next time I can get squid or octopus I will try pulpo, my favourite dish in Galicia.
Yes, but sometimes many miles away and not anywhere near the camino…
I take paper to the loo, not a telephone…..

There are so many more pilgrrims in the CF, more than on any other camino. I have not yet walked the CF. So maybe I am not "qualified" to discuss this topic...
By the way I try not to offend anybody. I just thought we might ask ourselves why we are not more diversified and what can be done about it. Will discuss this with “Alessandra from London” when I meet her.

Hello! I was having a problem of how to formulate a title for this thread. Have been looking at one of my old blogs and noticed mentioning my coming across a person of colour (a gentleman). We discussed umbrellas because he had noticed that I was carrying the same umbrella as he was carrying. I...
