    A shout out to el pimiento de Padrón

    Best thing I ever had in my life. I was in Portomarin and I loved them so much I had another plate of them. Worst decision I ever made in my life. Long walk the next day. :)

    Bourbon and cigars

    I frequently saw Four Roses and I'm told on good authority that the bar in La Faba had Makers. I was able to resupply cigars in any of the big cities and I also picked up cigars here and there from bars/cafes. Enjoy your bourbon and cigars.

    What an exciting time to be a pilgrim!!

    I was walking around my town last night, trying to get those steps in, and I was thinking about how exciting it is to be a part of the resurgence of the Camino! The parallels with the Middle Ages are so vivid in my mind. This resurgence will be a tale of history one day and I was part of it!

    How Do You End Your Camino

    I had a fb group for my camino. Some of my friends asked one of the guys I met on the camino to please video my Victory March into Santiago. So, he did. He gave me very specific directions. "Come into Santiago at exactly 11 am. Walk slowly like you are in a Hollywood movie. Smile for the...

    Yay Duolingo! Me too! by the way, the free version is much better on a laptop than on a phone.

    While Waiting to Walk - What are you doing?

    I teach high school Biology and every year I get to present my Camino to the Spanish 2 classes. That's this Friday and I'm so excited! Just the thought that one day, just maybe, one pilgrim will ask another, "Why are you doing the Camino?" and he or she will say, "Oh I had a teacher in high...

    Am I the only one who...

    One of the people I met on the Camino is from Hong Kong. He wrote a book about his pilgrimage and I'm mentioned several times...with pictures as well! He mailed me a copy-Tao on the Road- and it is truly one of my most treasured possessions. Unfortunately, I can't read it because it's in...

    Discouraged in Florida

    Haha! Yes! Walk everywhere! I teach school two miles from where I live (no sidewalks) and when I was training, I walked to school many times. Inevitably, a student or co-worker would stop and ask me if I needed a ride!

    Are you thinking to walk the Camino (the way of the Saint James) again?

    Since August, 2017 when I arrived in SdC from SJPP, I have sworn every day that I wouldn't do it again. Ever. And....now the Norte is looking very possible for Summer 2021. Hendaye to SdC

    Trail runners: Altra or Brooks, or Hoka????

    Thanks for the gouge! My Cascadias came in last night and I'm wearing them today with some extra thick socks! I ordered them a full size up and yay! for Brooks for having women's 11.5. Very unusual.

    The wild-west days of the camino

    I tried to download Stanton's book from UK library. I got a notice that only UK community members could access it. I guess the free period is over, darnit.
