    The Way: how do you feel about THE movie?

    Thanks so much for the opportunity to open up about my feelings regarding this film! A firm #2 here. When I was planning my first Camino, I watched it and I pretty much hated it (eye-rolling script, bad acting, shallow characters representing ridiculous stereotypes; I could go on). I have...

    That recipe - which one is yours?

    For me. it's Caldo Gallego, tho' of course it's different every time I make it, as it was also different every time I ate it in Galicia. I've only made one Camino pilgrimage, but eating this soup every time I could was my mission for days. I envied the home gardens of greens (what are they...

    Tradition…. When to start wearing your scallop shell?

    I like this approach. I too, am not sure I want to display a shell until I feel I have earned it.

I think that when I reach Oviedo, and earn my Salvadorana, I will attach my shell and wear it...
