    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD I’m tired of waiting

    I've been waiting since 2013. I have accepted I will never get to walk the road to Santiago. I knew this when the lockdowns started that travel would be out of the question for someone like me (unvaxxed by choice for personal and religious reasons). I should not have to have endure this but it...

    Best way to Get to Roncesvalles Without Entering France

    What is the best way to get to Roncesvalles NOT coming from SJPP? With the announcement of June 7th border relaxation, I finally after 8 LONG years of waiting, longing, hoping and dreaming, I have the money, the time and most importantly a dog-sitter/house-sitter lined up and ready to go. I'm...

    Litter, Toilet Paper, Poop, Not Just a Camino Problem.

    I'm not laughing at your retching. My stomach flipped when I saw the mere picture but your humor just totally has me crying tears with my laughter! I totally would've taken a picture too! How could you not? No one would believe you if just described it!

    Quit again. Maybe for good.

    As it should, especially when positive feedback is constantly being rebuked with more and more negative comments. We all learned to walk holding the hands of our parents or siblings to help us keep our balance but eventually they let go and we have to try it on our own ending up on our bums more...

    Litter, Toilet Paper, Poop, Not Just a Camino Problem.

    I should have said "Don't click it all it" because I can't un-see it. It's etched firmly in my mind and probably the worst I've seen and I looked at all the photos from the Holy Year. @twh I'm so sorry you had to see that in person at all! Hopefully that person was just sick!

    Resist the temptation~ DO NOT click the little photo until after breakfast! 😂

    Quit again. Maybe for good.

    You are living my dream VC! I would love to be in Spain walking right now in a heat wave! The high where I live was 34C today. It completely dark now but on 32C. Of course the humidity is 39% as well. One thing I've been meditating on lately is instead of asking "Why is this happening to me?"...

    Litter, Toilet Paper, Poop, Not Just a Camino Problem.

    This reminds me of the "It's YOUR Camino!" attitude that makes me cringe every time, not because I disagree that people have the ability to tailor their Caminos to their specific needs but because it gets tossed around far too much without clarification. It's OUR Camino, just like these...

    Litter, Toilet Paper, Poop, Not Just a Camino Problem.

    It's not just in the Cascades...it's on Mount Everest too. I listened to a story NPR did on it and found a link for anyone who is interested. What's sad about the Everest story is that there are people who depend on the glacier melt for drinking water and they're getting sick due to the amount...

    300 km to get the compostela

    Money always complicates things. This I think we could get enough pilgrims behind to sign a petition but we have to threaten the wallets or they will not listen:

    300 km to get the compostela

    I agree with you and Bradypus. But you must learn to see things in terms of dollars/cents. This will not happen because it will affect the euros from tourism. I don't know much about tour companies but if I had one, I would make sure that my price including a private flying of the botafumeiro...

    300 km to get the compostela

    Or we could lobby the church to walk in place for the faithful that cannot walk due to age/infirmity or disability. Kinda like the old days when the rich could have someone walk in their stead. And yes, that is the reality of most Americans. People think us rude but truly we are overworked and...

    300 km to get the compostela

    That is true but I think is you have a bona fide disability that you should be able to qualify upon arrival, however you arrive. Especially if you are arriving injured from walking.

    300 km to get the compostela

    I think that throwing out the 100KM requirement will make it harder for those walking for religious reasons to gain the compestella! This is a feasible distance for the aged and infirm to accomplish. MANY Americans suffer the culture of not having time off. IF we are lucky, we accrue ten to 14...

    Staying Hydrated During the Heat Wave

    I've spent several summers working for a local greenhouse. Water was provided by the company as well as personal coolers. I've watched grown men fall out because they drank too much water and their electrolytes were out of balance. Drinking enough water is central but it's also important to take...

    Etiquette for shared paths

    If bikers who are pilgrims can't find bells for their bikes, then surely they can keep a whistle between their teeth when they are ascending or descending or going around blind corners. With people more and more using bag transits, how would know that bikers without packs aren't pilgrims who...
