    Finishing my Camino and feeling incomplete.

    I told a friend who joined us in Sarria after we’d walked from SJPP when he had similar feelings that he felt incomplete because he’d finished but he hadn’t begun. Begun what is up to each of us. So, as many have already said, it’s a common feeling. Continue to ask yourself why you feel that...

    Birthday card from 2019

    Sisters, where would we be without them? Be well @biarritzdon and Buen Camino, wherever it takes you and however you get there.

    Nearly 85% Decrease in Pilgrims in 2020

    As I was reading this thread, I tried to place the human suffering, death, illness, the economic implication to the Camino routes, Spain and the World as a whole, isolation and loneliness into a seperate and very sad silo. When I did that, I began to wonder if there was a possible upside...

    Silly Christmas Tradition

    Let’s hope the Zoom part of your tradition is one and done.

    Silly Christmas Tradition

    @Camino Chrissy, my father died earlier this year so you’re recollection of your father in his red vest really struck home. If we ever wonder what our legacy may be, it’s these small memories that I hope last forever. I hope my daughters and grandchildren remember my socks and maybe, continue it...

    Silly Christmas Tradition

    While I know we’d rather be reading or writing about something more topical, this year has not allowed for many tales from the Camino or epic sock or trekking pole finds or failures. So, I thought I’d share a different tale, my silly Christmas tradition. For over 25 years now, it started when...

    Good Wishes in this moment

    What a year 2020 has been and, 2021 is looking like it's going to get off to a rocky start. With all that said, I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for their spirit, generosity, kindness, wit and for the most part, level headedness (is that a word?). Approaching 2021, let's all try to...

    An Atheist Embraces the Camino

    Well said @BombayBill. As a fellow Humanist, I experienced many similar discoveries.

    Where did you walk ( locally ) in 2020?

    I always enjoy reading about all of your adventures, CV-19 here in Texas has kept me close to home but, I finally got out for a long weekend of hiking in the Hill Country of Texas and it was long past due. My adventure took me and a very small group of friends and fellow Pilgrims to the Lost...

    Where did you walk ( locally ) in 2020?

    I don't want to get off the track of where everyone's walked and the great pics but, I love your thought process. On my Caminos (and after most hikes anywhere), as we got to the town we were staying in, before a shower, before doing laundry while I was still fresh off the trail of having a...

    Where did you walk ( locally ) in 2020?

    Awesome pics, thanks for expanding my virtual world.

    Where did you walk ( locally ) in 2020?

    I've enjoyed all the pictures, virtual travel in the time of CV-19 is probably all I can hope for this year. I did get out into central Texas which is, by its nature, very physically distanced, lots of square miles with very few people. I enjoyed an early July 4th in the relative cool at...

    June 30, 2017: Today, my physical Camino comes to an unceremonious end. After 2 disappointing days in A Coruña, I head for the airport first to Lisbon and then to New York. I did get an upgrade to Business Class on the LIS-JFK leg. Lots to think about going forward. July 1, 2017: I began...

    June 28-29, 2017: At this point, I'm sure you're growing bored but for the few who are still hanging on. Today, I left Santiago, I had no idea if I'd ever return (I have). My route back to Dallas first took me to A Coruña where I'd hoped to spend a couple relaxing days on the beach. My...

    June 26, 2017: Special day on my next to last day on my 2017 Camino. I started out early in the morning for the lighthouse in Finisterre feeling very alone, all but one of my Texas friends were gone and most of my Camino family had been dispersed by the winds. Along the way I met a woman who’s...

    June 22, 2017: Arrived in Santiago. Happy to arrive, happy to see Susan. Sad to be done. At that time, the Cathedral was wrapped in scaffolding and blue tarps. June 2019 was much better. My family for that day. We did make the Mass and my wife and daughter who did not walk, enjoyed it...
