    The Way: how do you feel about THE movie?

    Not really. If you've never been, it doesn't matter. It's only after you go you pick up on the difference.

    The Way: how do you feel about THE movie?

    In 2015, my wife was almost killed in a car accident (some of you are aware of it - a large tree fell on her car while driving). Four months later, when she finally came home, I suggested we watch "The Way" (I had seen it before, but she was never interested). After watching the movie, she said...

    Listening to music while on the camino

    I reckon I'm an outlier. I have an iPod Nano that I brought and actually listened to while walking (and I'll do so on my next Camino). Of course, my all time favorite "get in the mood for the Camino" songs is New Slang by The Shins (courtesy of the movie soundtrack for "The Way"). I also used...

    Is it a "Saunter" or a "Hike"? Our Pilgrimages.......

    I called it a saunter (also called it walkabout). Hike is a four letter word :cool:

    Snack Bars made of Oats

    I never had a problem finding crema de cacahuetes (aka peanut butter) in the supermercados.

    Self- catering - no utensils in Galicia

    Robo, check out my cookbook. I wound up using my pot and cup a lot (works well with wine and scotch)

    Self- catering - no utensils in Galicia

    I carry a titanium pot (700ml) and cup (450ml) with lids, along with a plastic spork and deep dish (€2 from Decathlon). Complete, lightweight cook and eating kit.

    What's the one thing in your pack, that you absolutely CANNOT do without...and why?

    The one thing I carried that was special to me was a stack of laminated Thin Blue Line flags. On each line was the name of a law enforcement officer who had died in the line of duty. Several were known to me, others were requested by former law enforcement colleagues of mine. I also carried a...

    Have you been married a long time?

    Check on the stubbornness factor. It got us through some tough patches (25 years in a couple of months).

    Thinking about tents

    Rebekah, I did the Camino last year with a basic cook kit (I'm mostly vegan so do a lot of my own cooking). I've got a free ebook I provide for the asking that describes the kit.

    Ashes to Spain?

    My best friend of over 20 years died Monday from complications caused by pancreatic cancer. He's being cremated and his ashes will be spread at sea in the Puget Sound. At my request, his partner will save a small amount of his ashes so I can carry them on the Camino. The only requirement is that...

    Favorite Spanish recipes post /pre camino you’ve made at home

    As mi esposa pointed out, I wrote a Vegan cookbook for the Camino. If you'd like an electronic version (epub or MOBI), just shoot me a message and I'll send you a copy, gratis. If you feel you must purchase, then check out Amazon and Kobo (but why spend the money?). The meals can easily be...

    Great organization. Got my credencial from them and they list my cookbook on their website. Our payback - my wife will become a hospitalero (I may, too. This is to be seen).

    Seeking patch

    Hi All, When I completed the CF last summer, I managed to get a patch from the big patch store to the northeast of the cathedral. Unfortunately, I only obtained one (I should have bought one or two more). Anyhow, I'm hoping somebody could help me out and pick one up for me. It's blue with...

    What 'Camino' Food do you Now eat at Home?

    Caldo Gallego. I fell in love with it my first Camino. Fortunately, I found a good recipe and modified it for my vegan (but adaptable to you carnivorous peregrinos) Camino cookbook (ebook is free for the asking - pdf version is attached here), because on my second and third Caminos, I couldn't...

    What souvenir(s) did you bring back from the Camino?

    My first reaction was "Nothing but photographs and memories," but after reading all the responses, I took a closer look. A key fob with a shell on it. That went to my Sprinter van - more travels! A couple of fridge magnets and patches. A carved slate kitchen tile with a shell on it. Two...

    Food lessons for life....

    As an add on to Wendy's blog post, I wish to point out that I wrote a cookbook for Vegans on the Camino (tested, and it works, and the food is tasty and good for all). It's available on Amazon and Kobo if you want a paper copy - if all you want/need is a digital copy, let me know - I provide it...
