    Snow in Navarra, currently, or at least a few hours ago...

    Thank you so much for these! Took me right back to 2019!

    Are you planning your (next) camino? Well, I am

    So true!

    Last night I learned I snore...

    Why in the world would you sleep in albergues without wearing earplugs??? Seems like the most polite way to take care of your own needs without being annoying to others.

    What if they just kept on walking?

    It's been my experience that the Way is not a place but is walking, opening to the new around each bend, being and not looking back. I believe it can be done wherever I am; if only I have strength to do it. Your poem is a much better way of saying this

    Ancient viticulture curiousity

    In walking CF in 2019 I was, as always, very interested in the agriculture. The huge old grape vines with no visible trellising were not familiar to me and I've googled this with no result. Can anyone tell me the details of growing these vines? Thank you!

    Random thing that made you smile on Camino?

    Walking the streets of Astorga on a Sunday afternoon, there was a distinguished Spanish gentleman in a suit with a duck on a leash

    What is between Sarria and Santiago? And Muxia?

    I am so relieved to hear the fire was that long ago; Muxia was perfect ending for me in in 2019 and the church with all its hanging ships was reminiscent of the fishing town of Stonington Maine I remember from my youth

    Goodwill Gestures

    The gift that now often comes to mind was from two Ukrainian girls in Santiago's bus station in 2019. They came up, introduced themselves, and gave me a beautiful hand-painted wood egg with their bright smiles, for America. They're much on my mind now

    Keeping in shape for the next Camino - whenever.

    Thanks, Paul A bit of history that I never knew (lots of those) and certainly a way to stitch up the world, no matter how far apart we live! My connections to the rest of the world generally come from the huge ships passing in the Delaware River channel visible from the street in front of my...

    Parador in Muxía to open Easter 2020

    it's one more reminder that I can't go back, that today's life is the only one I get, and, for me, for whom Muxia was a perfect camino coda, only gratitude that Muxia will always be a sleepy, out of time fishing town at the edge of a great sea. Other towns; other times...

    A day to be grateful

    Thanks for all these posts--I am so grateful for you all, for the camino, and for the fleeting glimpse on the camino of the person I was meant to be. That's something to chase!

    Motivation for Training

    I agree with those who comment that, if you have time to train on the Camino, you'll be okay, but if you're on a tight time schedule, you run the risk of injuring yourself early on if you are badly out of shape and rushing. It's worth getting your cardio fitness up to snuff beforehand, even if...

    Travelling from Santiago airport with walking poles

    Yes, in June the desk agent insisted I put them inside the pack on an Aer Lingus flight. No problem at security then.
