    And my true love gave to me...

    My wife found a couple cool Camino ornaments for our tree this year! Those, coupled with the custom coffee cup from our daughter and our very own Camino marker outside in our patio are calling us back in 2020! Buen Camino y Feliz Año 2020!

    Cathedral Closed...Is the Camino still worth it?

    Ashley, I experienced the Santiago Cathedral for the first time in 1977. I was not a Peregrino then, but rather a young backpacker who had spent a semester living in Malaga, Spain. I was born and raised Catholic and I was deeply touched to experience what many of us believe is the tomb of St...

    Is there any elitism between pilgrims taking different routes?

    I am fortunate to have the physical ability to walk to Camino, no matter how far, the mental stamina to remain optimistic when the weather changes abruptly, and the emotional gift of being humbled by the smiles, nods, and helpfulness of the local townspeople, who could care less how long...

    Avoiding the breakfast trap?

    I do the same. It takes the worry out of whether or not you will get a good start. The only downside is the coffee.

    My New Camino Marker

    Last week I had over 30 people over for dinner. They all walked past the Camino marker. Only three of us in the group have walked the Camino. Most were baffled as to why we would have something like this in our backyard. They just don’t get it. All I said was, “ if and when you walk the...

    I think it is up to us Peregrinos to do anything and everything possible to be respectful by not littering, being mindful of the locals, and not venturing off the designated trails. We are the guests of all the locals along the way and should always show gratitude. while I have never seen a...

    The tiles sold in the Santiago gift shops are Slightly smaller than the ones on the Camino markets, so I adjusted the dimensions slightly for balance.

    Thanks so much, kirkie. As I look out into my garden each morning and evening, memories of my past Camino are ever present and the anticipation for our upcoming and future Caminos grows more intense. You gave me an idea- just attached this to the marker!

    Zoran.. suffice it to say that it was not cheap! It cost much more than a plane ticket from California to Santiago! Congratulations on your next Camino! Great tattoo! Marco
