    On-line course on Gothic Cathedrals - free

    I've always been interested in architecture, especially of cathedrals. So i'm starting it today. I haven't taken a course outside of career specific ones in many years, so I'm really excited. Thanks for sharing the link. Lisa Mags

    Hiking Quotes - just for fun.

    It had nothing to do with gear or footwear or the backpacking fads or philosophies of any particular era or even with getting from point A to point B. It had to do with how it felt to be in the wild. With what it was like to walk for miles with no reason other than to witness the accumulation...

    Would you still walk the Camino if you could not access the Internet ?

    While I work on high tech or maybe for that reason, I love the times I can be disconnected. Friends, family and significant other can't understand how I can leave home without my phone some days and walk around with a laptop and phone others. When work requires it, I have to be fully...

    Is the Camino losing its identity

    A couple favorite quotes which apply: "Never ever judge anyone. You don't know their story and what's really going on. A smile can hide so much." "There's a story behind every person. There's a reason why they're the way they are. Pain alters our personality."

    Lessons to be learned from 'Little John'

    Thank you for sharing. So sad what dementia does to loved ones. Happy he has you to bring him the joy of his travels. It motivates me to continue in my travels and to make more of an effort to document what I've done an seen. Thank you!

    The Top Ten Things I've Learned from this Forum

    Thank you so much for sharing! I spend a lot of time on both the AT and LT (good training ground for a Camino) as they are my back yard. I've always thought about doing sections of the PCT, this makes it even more enticing. We can do anything we put our minds to. Buen Camino.

    Camino Angels

    My 1st angel on the Camino Portugues was Vanessa whose father owns Alfa 10 Hospedaria in Alverca (https://www.facebook.com/hospedariaalfa10/?fref=ts). We had a tough day due to very heavy rain, as points we had to stop as we couldn't see where we were going. We were on bikes and also got very...

    Silly me, wanting to fall in love on the Camino

    Interesting experience last night in my so called real life. Don't take this wrong, I did enjoy myself. I was out with friends at a bar for pre-thanksgiving holiday drinks. I now remember why I don't date often and why places/experiences like the Camino are where I still have some hope...

    My bracelet from the Camino broke today :(

    That was a thought, but due to post-op restrictions it's not an option at this point. Plus, I think I'm a bit old for my 1st tattoo...

    My bracelet from the Camino broke today :(

    I'm sorry to hear about your sister-in-law but it's also amazing what the body can accomplish - both of you. How wonderful that she was able to experience even a section of the Camino at that stage of her illness. My focus was similar - healing/wellbeing/spiritual. We did the Camino...

    My bracelet from the Camino broke today :(

    I'm not typically one to buy souvenir’s but when getting my Compostela on Nov 6, I bought a bracelet while in the pilgrim’s office. Today I noticed the shell emblem that was on it had fallen out. I’m really sad. It was a constant positive reminder of how far I’m come in the past 8 months. I...

    Silly me, wanting to fall in love on the Camino

    It's not silly at all wanting to find someone who shares your passion for the Camino. I've always thought I would find someone during my travels. I just finished my first Camino 2 weeks ago by bike - but that's another story. Hopefully my next Camino will be walking sometime in 2016. I do...
