    Should I ...?

    Ahhhhh my heart says go! 😃❤️ but my head says that even if you were allowed to fly without the double jab you would have to quarantine for 2 of your precious weeks there. Logistically and financially it could be a nightmare. What if you hold off, save the money and make do until next year to see...

    Flooding in Galicia

    Hope you stay safe. And chickens have nothing to do with a wise decision to remove yourself from the ire of Mother Nature! 😉

    For the Women Only...Walking With DD Breasts

    I am actually more like a “G” but was very comfortable on the Camino with a 40DD Brooks sports bra. No underwire or sharp material, dried fairly quickly. It fit snuggly under the breast area so less likely to have sweat build up and rubbing as the material of the bra absorbed it. I brought two...

    Starting a Camino with mild plantar fasciitis - crazy or not?

    I also developed PF last year a couple of months ahead of walking the Camino. I still did it with much determination and lots of anti inflammatories. Every days end I spent much time doing an icing and stretching regime which helped. Some days I walked less. I listened to her (I named her and we...

    Mosquitos, ticks, snakes, etc.

    I don’t know if they are. I haven’t met a chigger and although I walked alongside my daughter the whole way, I also didn’t meet any hay mites no did any other others we walked with. She is just lucky I guess. Are chiggers in South Carolina? And what months are they active?

    Mosquitos, ticks, snakes, etc.

    There are hay mites that are released during threshing season. Some people have an allergic reaction to them. You can’t see them to my knowledge but my daughter almost had to end her walk after four days in the Mesetas last August due to nasty blister like bites all over her body. We had to cut...

    Physical Recovery

    I finished my Camino September 30 2017. I have not really reintegrated yet. Or I have but not back to the life I was living before I left. My belongings are in storage, I don't have an apartment or a house. I have been living with different friends and family and have no desire to settle down...

    Did you meet Pedro in Finisterre?

    Yes! I also remember that he spoke of this sculpture and I searched (loosely) to no avail. Someone else said they saw him years ago on the Camino walking and not in Finisterre. Perhaps he has a place he now calls home in Finisterre and doesn’t walk anymore.

    Please post here after you see him and if you think of it, ask him when the documentary will be coming out.

    Did you meet Pedro in Finisterre?

    Yes! That is Pedro! :D He was in Finisterre the week that I was anyway. He probably spoke of social activism because I was interested and like minded. Our conversations were extremely interesting. I wonder if others who see him can post on here so we can keep track of him. I really hope the...

    Did you meet Pedro in Finisterre?

    Hello I was in Finisterre last September to end my Camino which started in SJPP. I had the most interesting conversations with an older French man who walked the streets and promoted his art work in exchange for a few euros if you had it. He regaled me with stories from the Camino, from his...
