    A shout out to el pimiento de Padrón

    Best thing I ever had in my life. I was in Portomarin and I loved them so much I had another plate of them. Worst decision I ever made in my life. Long walk the next day. :)

    Bourbon and cigars

    I frequently saw Four Roses and I'm told on good authority that the bar in La Faba had Makers. I was able to resupply cigars in any of the big cities and I also picked up cigars here and there from bars/cafes. Enjoy your bourbon and cigars.

    While Waiting to Walk - What are you doing?

    I teach high school Biology and every year I get to present my Camino to the Spanish 2 classes. That's this Friday and I'm so excited! Just the thought that one day, just maybe, one pilgrim will ask another, "Why are you doing the Camino?" and he or she will say, "Oh I had a teacher in high...

    Daydreaming about sangria and paella

    One of my most favorite evenings on the Camino. Two Pilgrims One Heart. :) At this supper, Miguel and his wife sang a song for us. Then he went around the table and asked each of us to sing a song from our country. It was pure magic. Way outside of my comfort zone and just perfect.

    Thoughts on "The Camino provides" and similar sayings

    I agree with every word of this. Shortly after I got back home, I was walking around my town, lost in my thoughts.

    Thoughts on "The Camino provides" and similar sayings

    Yes! One of the most important lessons learned. There were friends from home following my journey who sent me piles of money to shade my path and to help shade the paths of others.
