    Queues at the Cathedral?

    This thread made me chuckle at my memory of being at the Pilgrim Mass and returning from receiving Communion only to find our pew was miraculously repopulated during our absence... :)

    Niggling hates (dislikes) on Camino

    All the graffiti. Make a cairn of stones, tuck a wildflower or even a note on paper into a sign or meaningful place, but for heaven's sake, where do people get off permanently defacing markers/signs/walkways/trees/what have you with spray paint or sharpies?

    Belorado Info

    I stayed in Cuatro Cantones in May 2012. I recall it was at the far end of town and I internally grumbled that the people who I was walking with didn't want to stop at the first available place. (It was a very hot day and my shins were killing me.) I'm so glad we stayed there -- it was a...

    What to do different next time?

    To take some zero days next time (hopefully this year). On my 2012 Frances, I so felt the (self-imposed) pressure of the calendar to "finish on time" to get to the next thing. I've been enjoying the "Jay Wanders Out" videos on YouTube, and his videos of the interiors of the cathedrals in Burgos...

    The ticking clock

    I walked the Frances in May/June 2012 and met an Australian woman in Logrono who had walked out of St. Jean with a widower from North Carolina USA. He and his wife had always wanted to walk the Camino, but she passed away before they could. He set out to walk in her honor. Shortly after...

    Poppies

    I walked the CF in May/June 2012 and was delighted by the poppies as well. What really entranced me, though, were the fields of grain. I have a video I took of acres of green grain tops rolling in the breeze like waves on the ocean. Amazing. This view from outside Hornillos del Camino has both!

    post camino decompression--how to handle it?

    I'm less than two weeks away from my first Camino, but I already appreciate the way that my/our plans have come together. I will leave the U.S. on 18 May and begin walking from SJPdP on 20 May. On 23 June, I have a flight from SdC to Paris, where I will meet my dear wife for a second honeymoon...

    Video from a walkers perspective

    I just found this post and am delighted I did. Thanks so much, Scott, for recording & posting the video. Pretty much all the Camino videos I've watched thus far are fun, with toe-tapping tunes and lots of scenes of smiling pilgrims hoisting beers and making meals -- not that there's anything...

    Food on the Caminos

    Hola a todos (working on my Spanish here...). I'm set to arrive in SJPP on May 19, 2012, and hope to start walking the next day on my very first camino. Needless to say, I'm champing at the bit with excitement. I've been all over the forum, soaking up all the accumulated knowledge and...

    Class of 2012

    Hola to all. I'm Steve from Maryland and, with the help of my wife have begun planning my 2012 journey in earnest -- even went to the post office today to apply for my passport. I'm looking forward to flying out in late May to begin my camino in St. Jean, then meeting up with my wife in Paris...
