On the Camino: One Day at a Time, one Photo at a Time 10.0
May 4, 2023 Navarrenx, France on the Via Podiensis, the first fortified city of France. Here is a photo of the gite where we would stay in Navarrenx.

May 22, 2022 - Montredon on the Via Podiensis - The church of Saint-Michel (i.e. St. Michael the Archangel) in Montredon, seems to be a plain gray building.

Santiago cake
There is another cake you may have encountered ... Basque Cake. When I was in SJPP a few weeks ago, I was in a restaurant and wanted some Tarta de Santiago.

Photo book or blog documenting your camino
I have walked 3 Caminos, with a fourth starting tomorrow, April 19. If it's spring, then it's Camino time! For each of my Caminos I have blogged with a very simple Google doc solution.

I am "gifting" the Camino for Christmas. Need advice!
First of all I too think it is a great idea for your future father-in-law. In keeping with the humor of the situation, I always referred to my wife's parent as outlaws. Why, you may wonder? Because the difference between in-laws and outlaws is that outlaws are wanted! 🤣 Sounds like you also...- Bill905

Key Lesson of the Camino (IMO) in a simple quote...
I too read Camus as a youth, and I appreciated annotated help! Some of his philosophy reminds me of another philosopher by the name of Lao Tzu who taught of another "Way", i.e. the Tao Te Ching. Some quotes from Lao Tzu can easily be applied to El Camino ... such as the oft quoted excerpt from...- Bill905

While walking the Via Podiensis, a plaque that we often see, both in churches and on town monuments, is one that remembers those who have fought and died for France in different wars. What is especially poignant however, and makes one pause and reflect, is how they are not referred to as...- Bill905
