    Under the moon and stars

    I walked Camino Frances in Sept 2018 and hope to walk it one more time this November and December as my retirement gift to myself. One of the things that made it so very special for me was walking each morning, predawn, under the stars and moon, the world quiet, watching the sun rise begin and...

    Paulo Coelho's "The Pilgrimage" to be made into a Netflix movie

    Shirley macLaine's Camino book and Paulo Coehlo's books were the two that led me to walk the Camino. Both of them captivated for me the spirituality and faith of those that walked before me. I cherish both books. Shirley macLaine's passage about walking barefoot to feel the energy of those that...

    Paulo Coelho's "The Pilgrimage" to be made into a Netflix movie

    That's one of my all time favorite books. It's one of the books that inspired me to walk the Camino. I have read it at least four times. I just couldn't begin to imagine a movie capturing the magic of the book. Also I would believe if it is made in Brazil it would be in Portuguese. I would watch...

    Those who have walked at least one Camino - What are your favorite insoles and why?

    I went to an orthopedic shoe store and had custom insoles made for my feet. My doctor recommended that. They were fantastic because they felt great and I had zero blisters.

    Training with Weighted Vests

    I trained with putting a 10 lb bag of dogfood in my backpack in my backpack and walked the daily distance I hoped to walk. That worked great helping me getting my self used to the weight of the backpack.

    The Way: how do you feel about THE movie?

    I love the movie "The Way". I rewatch that movie, "I'll Push You" and "Six Ways to Santiago" all quite often. I have read the book that Emilio Estevez drew a lot of stories from "Off the Road" by Jack Tripp for the movie it was funny. My only problem with "The Way" is I think how tore up Martin...

    Walking a camino after knee replacement

    I walked the Camino in 2018 after having both knees replaced in 2011. I had no problems at all. I did lots of training and prep and I think the only thing I thought concerning my knees was I was worried about falling and possibly injuring them. So I wore ankle hiking boots with the thought...

    Social anxiety

    I feel just like you do. I walked the Camino Frances in Sept of 2018. I don't handle crowded situations well. Getting stuck in the middle of a crowded table leaves me not really able to breath. I just want to escape. I absolutely love one on one or a couple people chatting. Walking and talking...
