    Depth on the Camino?

    "What I really learned on the Camino is that even when having superficial small talk, or when not saying a word and only smiling at each other or walking next to each other for a while, sometimes a lot is being said, maybe even the more important things that are difficult to put in words." This...

    Crinkly Plastic Bags

    You're right. The attempt to be slow and silent sometimes draws out the torture! We have a family story told often about a little one who came into our bedroom one morning for a sweetie that was in one of our bags. For 5 minutes, we lay there, listening to the attempts to very quietly extract...

    Portable bidet - would you use it?

    In fact, as a nomad most of my life, I've used one for years, even at home. I call it my American bidet. The bottle is the kind sold in beauty shops in the hair color section, used to apply hair dye. It's small, light when empty, and easy to use anywhere. I just like feeling cleansed after...

    Do your own Camino

    I'd agree with anyone who talks about not judging. If our aim is to do a "pure" Camino (whatever that is...) maybe we need to heed the guidance embedded in what this "pure" aim is all about, and remember to "judge not, lest ye be judged", for example. No one gets to dictate what anyone else's...

    Water Sources. Fonts, accommodation taps, bottled water

    Thank you! Excellent advice. Yes, I'm fluent in German which is why I couldn't think of the English for "Unterkunft" lol. I belong to the Jakobswege in Deutschland FB group but the area I plan to walk in is not popular, it turns out. Didn't know about calling the local priest - great idea - and...

    Water Sources. Fonts, accommodation taps, bottled water

    Hi! I notice you say you walked in Germany, which caught my eye as I am planning in late July to walk some part of the Jakobsweg through Rottenburg (not sure which route I'll take, either via Neresheim or Rothenburg, or southwest from Rottenburg) and wonder if you have any experience at all in...

    LIVE from the Camino Falling ill on the camino

    Sending love. I understand, having felt this kind of disappointment in different but very similar circumstances. The heart hurts and weighing that against the gratitude you feel now (which will grow with time, if I am an example) doesn't stop the hurting. As was said earlier, this is your...

    The mercury in it is not so "good for you".

    Where do you carry your valuables?

    Yes, I learned in Oz to call them "bum bags" even though "bum" has a different meaning in the US. At least it's not a meaning that relates to a specific body part, though.

    Info? on Jacobsweg in Germany from Rottenburg am Neckar

    Thank you, Anhalter. Yes, I've seen the second link you sent to get the map and the distances, but not the first link so I'll look into getting that book, and see if they have others for the other 2 routes through Rottenburg.

    Info? on Jacobsweg in Germany from Rottenburg am Neckar

    Hi there! New to this forum, this is my first thread. I'm American, living in California, about to go visit many friends in Germany and France (where I used to live) in July-August. For years I have thought about the Camino, but am now in training to do it in 2024. But I'll be staying very close...
