    The dreaded plantar fasciitis - just as I’m about to start…

    I treated PF with a Strassburg sock at night. This was the first thing that worked for me after many months of pain.

    Strangest Thing on Your Camino?

    I wonder if it was an emotional support animal or dinner!

    My only regret walking

    I was about to suggest the same thing. My nearest chapter of the Canadian Company of Pilgrims is 600 km away in Edmonton, Alberta. I am fortunate that it is an easy journey and I have planned a trip to coincide with the fall meeting next week. I always say I had to join this group because I was...

    The Camino - such an emotional experience!

    I very much enjoyed reading what you have written here and I have had the experience of emotions being very "close to the surface" during my caminos. From elation to great sadness and grief, they are all there. I have always thought the outward expression of these emotions is somehow more likely...

    And I like "Moons" for Lunas on the Arles!

    Polling Fellow Walkers - Start in SJPP or Pamplona?

    Not to be overly sensitive but there are plenty of people over 60 -including me- who walked from SJPDP and had a wonderful time! And I saw lots of people under 60 who struggled. I would not have wanted to miss the Pyrenees nor the night in Orrison.

    Differences between the Frances and the Portugues?

    I see you are from Alberta and I happen to be in Edmonton this week. My last stop on Saturday morning as I leave town on the way home to BC will be at one of the Portuguese bakeries on the north side! Six of these tarts are required to enter the house when I get home. 😆

    Camino Francés May 2022

    What a lovely dog! If you haven't already done so I recommend joining the Canadian Company of Pilgrims. And if you are near Edmonton or Calgary there are local chapters. This organization has many resources including a CCoP pilgrim passport. I live in Northern BC, about 600 km from Edmonton but...

    LIVE from the Camino First meal in Spain

    Thank you so much for all your posts from the Camino. This is the time of year that my husband and I have done all our pilgrimages and I am feeling very nostalgic for the way. Time for all the fall garden cleanup here in northern British Columbia as well as Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend...

    Greetings. First camino, Aragones to SdeC starting Oct 5!

    Welcome and it was so good to see you on Zoom this morning! I hope you find this a helpful and supportive group. As you can tell, there is a wealth of knowledge and there are strong opinions which we don't hesitate to share!

    LIVE from the Camino Albertagirl on the Levante

    Good luck Albertagirl! Your "determined stubbornness" will serve you well. I am keeping a close eye on the situation in Alberta - I have many friends and family members there - and it is looking quite scary. As a retired nurse I can well imagine what it is like in health care right now. And my...

    LIVE from the Camino First meal in Spain

    I am so envious! I am very much enjoying your posts. I remember so well the day my husband and I reached the Cruz de Ferro where we left a stone from my mum's garden and said prayers in memory of our parents.

    LIVE from the Camino Albertagirl on the Levante

    Good luck Albertagirl! I have been thinking about you as you make your way and send prayers for your safety and comfort.

    The Fragrance of Spain

    Is the smell of the first coffee of the day an option? It is magical!

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Getting Vaccinated - Some Perspective Perhaps and a Prayer

    I also have a very dear friend who is refusing the vaccine. She has told me about a number of her friends who are cutting off contact with her. We live 1200 km apart so I haven't had to deal with this situation directly but I am not sure what I will do over the summer when we have a chance to...

    Women's Gregory Jade 28 pack -what do you think?

    I love my Gregory 38 l which has served me well on several caminos. I don't carry a lot and it is never stuffed full but I love having a little extra room which makes it easier to find stuff when you need it and also gives enough space to carry extra food on those unpredictable days! As others...

    Basque cake

    Well, this post certainly led me down a pastry filled rabbit hole! I don't recall this dessert from any of my caminos but I will definitely be seeking it out next time. And it looks like just the thing for my next pilgrims' potluck....whenever we might be able to do that again!
