    Update: Wounded Knee in Arre

    Now everyone knows how I get lost: I spent 10 days in Villava. Not Arre. 😂 The two hospitaleros at Albergue de Villava-Atannabia are heroic. I chose to listen to the doctor and take two weeks off my knee. The hospitaleros brought me ice, gave me an elevator key, and checked on my progress daily...

    Wounded knee in Arre

    While I’m no stranger to knee pain (see my avatar picture from Sarria, 2013), this did catch me off guard. After starting in Lourdes and taking 9!!!! days to make SJPdP, I’m recuperating at Albergue de Villava-Atannabia. They bring me ice and kind words. ❤️ The damage is not as great as in 2013...

    Confusion in SJPdP over Canadian Pilgrim Passports

    This just posted on FB by the Canadian Company of Pilgrims: Dear Canadian Pilgrims, It has come to our attention that Pilgrims currently starting in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port are being told by some staff at the local Pilgrim's Office that our Canadian Credential is not valid and will not be...

    The Gift of a Second Pilgrimage

    My husband and I JUST booked our flight from Toronto for June 28. How excited and blessed we are. We are starting in SJPdP and hope to go on to Muxia...this time without crutches! Hiking poles are much lighter, after all! :) My autumn 2013 pilgrimage was interrupted by injury. This forum family...

    Inspiring Quotations

    I share this beautiful quotation by Carlos Castaneda from The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge so others can be inspired. My hope is you will share the words that move your heart, your feet, and your spirit along The Way. "For me there is only the traveling on paths that have...

    Introducing myself.

    Hello everyone. I am Penny from St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. I am marrying my long-time love in three weeks, retiring in four weeks, and starting the Camino alone in September 2013 after settling my daughter (my third child) into university. My husband (how strange that sounds) will meet me...
