    St. James gets a face lift?

    possibly this from the website

    St. James gets a face lift?

    No one is judging anyone. It would be nice if there was room enough for everyone to attend Mass. if there isn’t, it would be nice if people for whom Mass holds no religious significance gave priority to those for whom it does (Mass isn’t a Disneyland attraction). But that’s obviously not going...

    St. James gets a face lift?

    I think all are equal but attending Mass actually has significance to Catholics beyond a “tourist thing we do when on Camino”…it can be difficult to differentiate however, other than the obvious tourists pretending to be pilgrims who talk/high-five each other throughout Mass, or dress...

    Hiking from LePuy in April. Advice needed!

    I’m not the person who posted but my reading of that post is 70 days was right to walk Le Puy-Frances to SdC which was their favorite route, and which they took rather than walk the Norte (which should take way less than 70 days)

    On the Camino: One Day at a Time, one Photo at a Time 7.0

    I spent several nights, it was my “base camp” for walking the first stage of the Inglés as well as a non-Camino walk to San Andres de Teixido (not from A Coruña 😱 I took a bus to my starting point). I ate too much while I was there…

    On the Camino: One Day at a Time, one Photo at a Time 7.0

    I walked one stage of the Inglés; I wanted to start in A Coruña, and rather than the church of Santiago, begin at the statue of King Breogán and the Tower of Hercules (Farum Brigantium) to honor my heritage. The Tower is the best preserved ancient Roman lighthouse and the only one still in use...

    !!!Second man masturbating naked on the camino del norte!!!

    I trained in Aikido for many years. Beginner uke’s (attackers) were always great bc they didn’t know how to attack “the right way”. The best defense: be aware (no ear pods in both ears) and put distance between you and the other person so you don’t need to see if self defense tactics really...

    !!!Second man masturbating naked on the camino del norte!!!

    I think @seaseeker did everything right and I commend her and hope the rest of the journey is uneventful. My two cents on some comments: I wouldn’t laugh, make jokes, point or take pictures. Things can escalate. I wouldn’t carry a weapon—men’s reach exceeds ours, as does their strength (in...

    Would it be worth it to photograph the whole Camino Frances

    Europe is ahead of the US in this regard although we are catching up…As for permission—ask first, which is easier with camera than Go Pro. If filming, expect some people to avoid you. There’s just no reason to post a picture of someone’s face without permission. None. Wait until they are out of...

    Would it be worth it to photograph the whole Camino Frances

    Battered wives, and trafficked women and children tend to be paranoid. Undocumented people also. I try to not be judgmental tbh—no one needs to explain to anyone why they don’t want to be photographed or end up on someone’s vanity page.

    Would it be worth it to photograph the whole Camino Frances

    I believe that’s what some of us said—it’s not being mean to say we’d get ahead of or behind that activity—it’s a statement of fact. CCTV footage isn’t generally posted on someone’s website where others will be repeatedly referred. People are free to film and photograph others, but imho don’t...

    Would it be worth it to photograph the whole Camino Frances

    Personally I see it as an honest remark. Not everyone wants to be photographed or be around people filming 24/7. Some walking at the same time as the OP will likely feel that way so he might want to know that before doing it. I walked early so I didn’t have to listen to the people who think...

    Would it be worth it to photograph the whole Camino Frances

    If you are doing it for you, then do it. If you’re thinking it would be a service to others, it probably won’t be so don’t IMO. With a go pro I don’t think you’d be missing out on the experience of walking —not like you’re framing a shot or deciding on lighting. Personally I never walked before...

    On the Camino: One Day at a Time, one Photo at a Time 7.0

    I think it must be the calm shallowness in place (hoping not some toxic brew 😱)…there’s a place in Castro Urdiales with bronze statues of divers on some rocks are that are this color. Since usually I walked in heavy rain most of my seas are grey and white and blurry

    I did send the picture. I’ll let you know what they say as soon as they reply

    I just assume you all don’t pay enough attention to what I post to realize I’ve already posted one of the area 🙂 a short excerpt please, or it didn’t happen 😀 …or at least an estimated release date??
