    Short-term rent of camino house

    Besides this site my other favorite site is Airbnb ... Quite the range on Airbnb for short to long term rentals. Not enough Airbnb locations along the Camino Could be a terrific opportunity for a Camino "family" to relax and bond. Just a thought.

    French pilgrim arrested for graffiti on Camino mojones

    Rains here, where I saw the icing throw up, on a much more regular basis. Nuit Blanch is in late September or early October and it rains in Toronto in the fall. I am not encouraging leaving graffiti ...or notes of encouragement to friends walking a day behind... But if one felt so inclined...

    French pilgrim arrested for graffiti on Camino mojones

    I found that many pilgrims defaced along the Camino from dropped trash, markers and the outside toilet and paper left behind. I met a young man from Ireland who was walking and picking up trash along the way. His name is Rory he walked last September / October
