    Now here's an idea...

    I agree with others; Go for it. Walking alone will make it seem like a totally different Camino. May take a couple of days to realize the only voice is yours. Alone, but not lonely. Also, no fear. Faith always plays a bigger role when you realize it's just you in a real big theatre. It can...

    Wine and Beer

    I gave up beer for my walk last year for a number of reasons. Never much of a wine drinker, so I pretty much resigned myself to water. Although I rarely drink sugary soft drinks at home, I found myself craving them on the Way. I have since surmised that the strenuous effort every day left me...

    What do people do about carrying their valuables after walking for the day?

    I got into the habit of doing the same thing. Always easier to drop your pack outside and know that you still have all your personal valuables on you. This is also a good little bag to carry extra stuff on the plane and keep it in your seat. Kinda missed not sleeping with it when I returned! (I...

    Another way to see pack transport

    You're righ. I realized that after I looked at my picture again. Not well versed in equine recognition. They were calling them mules, or at least that's what I thought they said. Something could have been lost in translation. Good to hear from you Jim. Not much time off this year. Trying to set...

    Another way to see pack transport

    To comment on your original statement, I carried my heavy, over-stuffed pack too, and was thankful for the health and strength to do so. If I had needed assistance, I would have used the transport system too. I made many friends along the way that did this. I am no expert on 'authenticity' and...

    Anyone else have Camino dreams

    Quite often, even several months after my return. What I found unusual; Even though it was one of the most challenging things I have ever done, I'm never in distress during my dream. They are happy recollections for the most part, but also some creations in my mind that never truly happened. No...

    The future of Camino Hospitality

    I replied earlier, but had a few other thoughts. I walked the Frances for my first trip. Some areas crowded with pilgrims, other areas not so many. There are many paths to Santiago. I'm sure none of these others are as popular or well known as the Frances route. My point is you have options. I...

    The future of Camino Hospitality

    Such a gift you have for expression! I can feel what you're feeling; maybe a single sad tear on my cheek, but a smile that never leaves as I remember. The changes are coming swiftly now. They are easy to spot as you walk from day to day. The circle of life. I'll still return; I can still walk my...

    End of day; Santiago.
