Dear Pilgrims,
Anyone know who St. Jean were? St. Jean from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port.
I always assumed, that it was French for Saint James, but it is not, is it?
Saint Jacques is the French name for James.
Buen Camino to you all.
Thanks
Anna
OK! Here it comes, the not so fun story: The hardest part of the Camino is returning home! That is when you become a "Camino-bore" and a "Camino-addict"! And hang out in forums like this! Now you are warned :-) Have a truely wonderful Camino :-)
Dear Jamie,
Yes, I felt exactly the same returning from the Camino, and yes, you are perfectly normal. The best thing to do, is trying to adjust your everyday life to be like the Camino life, you miss so much. Try to make your life more simple, enjoy the nature as much as you can and be kind to...
Dear Jill, the Camino constantly works its miracles - this time with you as an instrument. And it is so beautiful, that you want to share your joy with all your friends. A Buen Camino to all of you :-) Love Anna

I met a flasher with a white van just before Astorga in 2014. And a group of women met the same guy + the white van a few days later...
I read Kevin Codds wonderful book: "To the field of stars" everytime I miss the Camino too much. I have now read it 8 times :) Love it! And I plan new Caminos. And hang out this forum :-) Thank you to all of you pilgrims :-)
You will be absolutely safe and happy! The Camino is a living miracle - so beautiful and full of strangers taking care of each other! In fact: sometimes it is more difficult to return to the "real" world, than to walk your Camino :-) Buen Camino! Open your heart and enjoy :-)
I am so sorry to hear this, Johein! Theft is such a bad crime. I hope, you reported it to the police. If there is anything specific, you miss a photo of, please tell us. I am sure, we would all like to mail you photoes. I know it is not the same as your own photoes, but maybe better than nothing.
