    Compostela for baby conceived on Camino?

    Congratulations - what a beautiful way to come into the world - a blessing for sure. Not that you asked for suggestions, but I'd go for one of those really long Spanish names like Camino Estellla Marina Iago - it would just make kindergarten so much more fun!

    3 weeks post Camino, still at loose ends

    Hi Jeanne, I'm not sure I have much to add to the wisdom here - except a big I hear 'ya sister. I walked the Frances with my daughter last year and had a very rocky re-entry and I didn't expect it. I was literally disorientated and sometimes would look ahead of me and question which way was up...

    Perverts on Portuguese Camino

    You're probably right, its just my mamma bear instinct kicking in. I have to trust that she's a strong, bright self-assured young woman - so we'll talk about it and go from there. We loved our time on the Frances last year and have been yearning to camino again. One of the things that I loved...

    Perverts on Portuguese Camino

    Thank you so much Peregrina2000 - we'll look into those. We are flying in and out of Madrid so its easy to adjust - although we were thinking that the Portuguese would be cooler in August.

    Perverts on Portuguese Camino

    Ah, Jamie I'm so sorry to hear this. I remember the yucky feeling from seeing this when I was in grade school. I'm very grateful to you for posting. I am just about to walk the Portuguese with my beautiful 18 year old daughter and now I'm having second thoughts - I don't want to expose her to...

    Post Camino Slump -- anyone else?

    Thanks - this is all very helpful. Amazingly enough, the World Labyrinth Society is located in my tiny village in Upstate New York and the leader of it came over to my house this afternoon and helped me fix my labyrinth. It was highly therapeutic - not only the rich conversation and his...

    A Nice Dogs thread

    I just walked the camino with my 16 year old daughter - and same as Reija - dog greeting slowed her down. She especially loved the big Galician dogs that would sidle up for a pet. We decided that our black lab would make a great Galician Camino Greeting Dog in his next life. We were so...

    Post Camino Slump -- anyone else?

    Ah, thank you. I read the thread it was really helpful - articulated so much of what I've been feeling - and was shocked to feel. Now, its normalized it for me. I've been feeling the urge to write (I'm a professional writer) so I'm going to give myself time to do that and see what unfurls. I'm...

    Leon food options?

    One of our BEST MEALS on the camino was at La Mary in Leon - close to the cathedral and the Convent Albergue. Utterly delicious fresh food - we had kale salad, risotto and a black forest gateau concoction that was amazing.

    Camino Dress Code :-)

    I just walked the Frances in late May/June with shorts, long johns and one pair of leggings. I wore the long johns a LOT at night when it was chilly but I tend to run cold. My daughter made good use of hers too. We found temperature swings - days in the upper 90's and then days when we put wool...

    Post Camino Slump -- anyone else?

    Hi I completed the Camino frances from St Jean to Santiago last Thursday. I got back to the US on Saturday and was dog tired for quite a few days (to be expected) and have also been feeling really down. This is unusual for me since I tend to be a chipper person. Our camino was great, and...
