    CaminoDebrita's Short Film SJPP to Roncesvalles

    Beautifully done Debra. ¡Gracias! May I ask who sings the song in your video? Buen Camino--always.

    walking with my young son

    Such a beautiful capturing of the Camino experience. What a gift for this father and son and for all of us! Thank you so much.

    Stay in Orrison Refugio or not . . . ?

    The weather does indeed change in a heartbeat! We left SJPP in sunshine and quite suddenly fierce winds began as we approached Orisson, then horizontally strong rain pelted us. I was blown to the ground, luckily unhurt (as the next morning another peregrina broke her shoulder when she was blown...

    A sensitive question

    Firstly, congratulations on undertaking the Camino. My spouse and I (both in our 70s) completed it two weeks ago. The experience of a lifetime. Secondly, I agree with Gitteharre that the hours of daily walking will do surprising (beneficial) things to one's lower GI tract. Indeed one may...

    Happy birthday, movinmaggie

    What a birthday gift! To have arrived in SdeC on your 80th birthday. "Good on you" and blessings.

    Enough to do in Leon? And a few other questions!!!

    I had to spend 3 unplanned days in Burgos to heal a terribly blistered foot. As a result had to use public transport on part of the Meseta. For us it worked well to take a bus from Carrión de Los Condes to León. Tickets should be purchased in advance and are available in the Bar España which is...

    Total Newbie: A couple of questions

    Dear Intrepid Tortoise, we began from SJPP Sep 15 and encountered fierce winds as we reached the steep switchbacks to Orisson albergue. I was blown to the ground; fortunate to land on the grassy hillside. The next day the winds were predicted to reach 85 kph (10 kph higher than the previous...

    Any one tried the app: Camino Guide Offline

    Thanks Steve. I tried it out in the US and up came lodging options in the vicinity of my actual location. So, I'm imagining it will work similarly along the Camino. Will know soon. :) (We leave tomorrow and will begin from SJPP on the 15th.) All the best to you, and to your friend. Wishing...

    Steve, I have the same question. Thanks for asking. We leave Saturday for Paris enroute to SJPP so I'm hoping to have word from others soon. Buen camino.

    When did you first become 'camino conscious'?

    I love this thread! I was fortunate enough to have a wonderful professor (from Spain) during my last two undergrad years. He made Spain come alive for me and others in his classes. My roommate and I promised ourselves we'd go to Spain to experience the places and history he'd made so vivid...

    Signs that your Camino is close

    We're one week away! Having felt like "forever" it's now realistically close at hand--our first Camino! Feeling excited and simultaneously newly calm. What will be will be. A few days ago in a grocery store far from our own home, I saw a woman with a Camino t-shirt and just blurted out a...

    A treasure map...

    Robb, welcome to the Camino Forum. Your finding the map is what I see as a synchronicity. It's a great word with meaning that seems applicable in this case. ¡Bienvenido y buen camino!

    A Thank you and Buen Camino

    Conner--"mil gracias" for sharing this "buen camino" experience. We're currently in the blistering hot/rainless Central Valley (CA) wrapping up our training walks with hopes we'll face nothing quite so hot from mid-Sept through October, our Camino weeks. Your description of your experiences...

    New to the forum... Hi

    Welcome to the Camino forum! We joined earlier this summer and will be walking our first Camino Frances soon (15 Sept). We've learned much from Camino Forum participants and, when the time comes, we'll willingly share whatever might be relevant to future Camino walkers. Buen Camino!

    Please help my girly soft feet man up

    Thanks Mike. I actually do not get blisters. I was replying to Linni who had experienced them on a short training hike. I like the idea of taking sandals and have included them in my pack. Buen Camino.

    Please help my girly soft feet man up

    For your consideration Linni-- 1) "toed" socks as the first layer (I use Injinji but there are other brands) have saved me: no friction between my toes as each is in its own little "cubby". 2) a lightweight second layer sock (thicker "winter-weight" hiking socks are too much for my feet). 3)...

    Signs that your Camino is close

    Ooohhh, this hits quite close to "the bone"....my (quiet for years) Morton's neuroma has begun to make trouble again. Less than 3 weeks to deal with it before we launch. Am surmising it may be boot related a/o that my feet already have begun lengthening as a result of all the training distance...

    Comment by 'Sherrie' in media 'Camino on Vimeo'

    Your video has been like an audio-visual mantra for me during the time I've been dreaming, planning and now at long last about to embark on my Camino with my spouse. I shared your video with him only days ago--a pre-Camino gift I could give him. Thank you so much! I hope that your...

    Cell phone in Paris?

    I have service for my smartphone with Verizon. I'm leaning strongly toward paying for 2 months of "roaming" so we can use that phone while on the Camino. My phone will also serve as my camera. Does anyone have recent experience with Verizon coverage along the Camino? Mil gracias.

    Signs that your Camino is close

    Believing and then reneging on the belief that the training has been enough. Dreaming about missed flights (always figure it's good to have an anxiety dream that "covers" that possibility). We're 25 days away from our flight to Paris enroute to SJPP. God only knows what to expect b/n now and...
