    Art work- Holding Camino memories a Camino fire Ball

    Years ago I fell in love with this artist's work, Eva from Fireball Firepits. I had a dream of hiring her to capture the Camino I did with five of my children in 2016. It took me a few years to plan, desire, and financially pull off, but in these past few months I have what I dreamed of . She...

    Camino dinner memories- found in the US

    I had a dinner on the Camino with another forum member at our table... That night a wooden box-like structure was passed around the table, and it held a wine bottle, we all ooohed and ahhed over it, I would post the images but it has someone else in it and not certain that's cool... So a few...

    OK Le Puy lovers...did you notice these???

    We saw these two signs in 2016 when I hiked with five of my six kiddos. We didn't know what they said, and a donkey bit my oldest son here on the property- lol It was kind of funny as cruel as that sounds (we are a wicked family). Last fall, 2021 when my 16 year old daughter and I were...

    Latin names on compostelas.

    I think this is important to note… I arrived to the pilgrims office with five kids in tow, youngest nine years old , second youngest eleven… their packs weighed what mine did, we slept outside almost exclusively and had walked from Le Puy, GR 10 to Norte… and arrived either in Muxia or Santiago...

    Le Puy - any thoughts on my last two night before SJPP

    I must thank you in advance for any guidance here, as I’m almost asking you to help read my mind at what I could have been thinking and possibly why I might have done this… I’m sitting at a cafe with the energy to look over my calendar and my scribbled notes. As a reminder I’ve done Le Puy...

    LIVE from the Camino I fell in love on the Le Puy but he was a real ASS!!!!

    I came upon this handsome fella and his beautiful family. He is not a rental, he has a home and is walking with his family, and their friends for a few days. Amazing people!!! They were so kind to take a break and let me roll play Tatiana from Shakespeare’s Midsummer Nights Dream “ O how I love...

    LIVE from the Camino These are a few of my favorite things

    Said to the sound of Julia Andrew’s in the Sound of Music. Just sharing, in thus thread as I come across places that I’ve really enjoyed.

    LIVE from the Camino WOW what a different Le Puy, and I like it!!!

    Stayed at the youth hostel that was far from glamorous but met every single need we had, great location and i’d do it again in a heart beat! Due to pandemic had a room to ourselves which was their rule. Got up arrived to mass at exactly 0700, bells were chiming as we went through the door! I...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Health Pass ( QR Code) update for Americans from Le Puy

    Typing quickly, limited wifi. I am standing outside of the hospital in Le Puy. I went to a pharmacy this morning to ask about the “ Health pass QR”, and the lady didn’t know much but sent me to a stadium where she said the could tell me. A ten minute walk produced just a stadium, that was closed...

    LIVE from the Camino Just cleared customs in Paris from the US

    I wasn’t convinced I was doing Le Puy/ Frances until I cleared customs and we just did! The whole flight was uneventful, mask wearing was taken very seriously with many taking a bite of food and chewing with masks on. My French is bad enough to get me into trouble so when the young customs agent...

    Packing with memories- A Camino Shell

    Packing, 40 minutes from departure... I'm adding my Camino Shell to my pack. It has grown over the years. Shell, a silver shell that was a Christmas gift from my same son who made my cutting board (this shell was from the Christmas when we finished the Camino together, the board a year later but...

    As I pack for my Camino- I wanted to share my cutting board

    I'm not certain if I have ever taken the time to share this, but since I am packing it this very minute I thought I would as it means the world to me in my backpack belongings. When my kids and I did Le Puy-Santiago (Finistere and Muxia) we lucked out to meet with MendiWalker in Bilboa, he's a...

    Le Puy lovers- Where is this ?-can you help me yet again

    I realize I'm being needy, but with this question I hope others will take note of this special place. I'm going through my blog and guide book for the days out of Condom. Keep in mind coming from the US I didn't have wifi or any technology as I walked, I didn't realize until my last two weeks...

    I am reading through my Le Puy blog, that I did five years ago with five of my six kids. My oldest daughter was 11 for this trip and it appears it will be just she and I making this trip.

    The Tympanum in Conques- slightly comical, an education

    Recently I shared a thread about beautiful Conques and the monk playing the House of the Rising Sun on the organ. Conques gave us many memories, a monk offering us to sleep in the garden behind the monetary and bringing us leftovers of the dinner served. One of the best conversations in the...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Estrella Galicia witch tap- a little humor during Covid times

    I had shared the story on how I acquired an Estrella Galicia witch, I've never shared the story on how I got its partner with the witch hat (one day)... in the meantime, having six kids and their friends coming and going, at times I feel we need to censor her depending on the company. All three...

    A layover in Canada , coming from the US

    With vaccines behind me, I'm starting to think that maybe there is a chance for a Le Puy in August. Would love thoughts on that, realizing everything is "unknown"... A good flight is appearing , it takes me to Canada though (from the US), its the fastest and cheapest. Cheaper than some flights...

    The House of the Rising Sun- in Conques

    I know this has been mentioned before, in fact I might have started the thread. The connection of Le Puy route to the song The House of the Rising Sun. But a strange coincidence, like so many things Camino... I, like everyone else here, am licking my wounds with overseas travel halted for 18...
