Yesterday I had my monthly meeting with my spiritual director. I told her that I had booked my flight for the Camino for this coming June. She then asked me "why are you doing it" (walking the camino). I could not come up with an answer right away because I have not spent enough time really...
Hi all!
I have just purchased the 2017 Brierly guidebook and have the 2015, brand new, to give away if someone wants it. I'll pay US shipping. Send me a private message with your details if interested. Buen Camino and God Bless!
Hi. I am hoping to do the Camino Frances beginning on June 1, 2017. My question is in regards to using my cell phone. When I did a search on the topic there was mention of a SIM card. I just was not clear if you buy a card in France or Spain and just put it in your existing phone or do I need to...

I've been on vacation in Forida this week and bought a Life is Good baseball cap, blue with a yellow scallop shell on the front. Had to get it!

Blessings and Buen Camino!

Blessings and Buen Camino!
