    Live music on the camino?

    One of my fondest memories from my first Camino was 2 couples, carrying instruments, who would play music every time they took a rest. We came across them a number of times. My daughter told them how her dad would play Puff the Magic Dragon for her when she was little so they played it for her!

    Privacy in the shower

    In 2019 I stayed in a small albergue in Atapuerca (don't remember the name) where men and women shared the same shower room. There were stalls with curtains but the entire area was quite small. I managed to shower and dress behind the curtain but my clothes got a little wet. However, in the...

    Thoughts on “Santiago - the Camino within”

    Was this movie/documentary a slick, professional Hollywood style movie? Absolutely not. Was it supposed to be a travelogue? Nope. Was it a foodie review? Goodness, no. Could it have been better even as an amateur film? Yes. Was it worthless and horrible? No, not if you love the Camino and...

    Etiquette/ what to wear at churches

    Churches can be some of the most peaceful places on earth. Even if you don't know the ritual or understand the language, let yourself sink into the peaceful sanctuary of church. You might find God. You might find yourself. Or maybe you will find a peaceful respite. It's all good. Oh, and I...

    If you are staying in a private room are you tipping the help?

    Thanks for sharing. Was unaware of these conditions. Las Kellys is an interesting approach to try to remedy poor working conditions. Good to know.

    Clothes dryer etiquette

    In Atapuerca there was only one washer (no dryer-just line dry) and the line for the washer was long. It was getting late, there wouldn't be much time for drying clothes on the line. I could see the next-in-line pile of clothes was quite small so I approached the owner, a nice gentleman from...
