Recently I visited Azerbaijan where I met a women from the Netherlands. She told me of the time she visited her son now living in Seattle, Washington (US).
He took her to see the original Starbucks Coffee Shop and for a cup of Starbucks finest coffee. My new friend made it plain to me that...
As someone who has tasted less than 1/2 cup of coffee in my entire life--it is the most godawful taste imaginable--I posted my comment to throw a bit of humor into the conversation. The 🤣 was deliberately left out as I was curious to see if anyone would notice my attempt at humor.
Thanks for...
I originally posted this, not because it was of interest to me, but because I felt it might be of interest to those who use Bookings.com.
(I did not use Bookings.com).
I had no idea there was such a thing as "prime Camino Forum discussion material".
In the future, and to alleviate any...

I do not want to fly. I do not want to take a train. I do not want to drive. I simply want to walk the Camino from...

my brothers! I bow to you all and
take my departure
Here I give back the keys of my
door--and I give up all claims to my
house. I only ask for last kind words
from you.
We were neighbors for long, but I

This particular video is from YouTube.
You might try going straight to CBS-TV 60 Minutes United States--or a varient of that. Maybe that will allow to download from Europe.
I hope you or someone figures out how to download to Europe as it is an interesting segment on the Church.
This 13+ minute video is from a 2013 (11 years ago) program of the American TV program 60 Minutes. While much of the Cathedral has been completed since 2013, 60 Minutes shows a history of the Church and Pope Benedict's consecration of the Church as a Basilica (2010). Some very beautiful video...
