    Dealing with Camino Regrets: My Personal Story

    First Camino happily in Santiago and relishing next day in different clothes. I was sitting in the cafe watching Pilgrims arrive when suddenly it occurred to me that none of them were smiling and saying 'well done' to me. I felt very sad to realize that out of my walking gear I had lost my...

    Seven Days Walking (Music)

    Really mellow -like it. For me I don't listen much to my music on the Camino. However iI always start with 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' as I head up from SJPP to Pyreness. Also I can't resist putting on 'I'm Still Standing' as I arrive in Santiago. Tradition you know! ---)

I got bumped since I didn't book directly with Air Canada! Worse,it was to a day earlier! You can imagine!! My...

    Does the Camino Ruin Us for Evermore?

    Don't know if this is a new thread or not? I am wondering when you first became aware that you were going to go back to the Camino again? For me it was when I had bored my pals silly with 'Well, when I was on the Camino......' stories, to realizing one day that I had suddenly started to say...

    Maybe you can start solo but you will never walk alone

    1st time i went alone, Going though French customs after I got of the plane I heard 2 people behind me 'Oh she speaks French we'll follow her!'. By the time we got off the bus at the train station we had 2 more in tow. So there we were 5 of us at a table enjoying a beer together in the sun...

    Socks colours - not a serious thread

    I have 3 odd hiking socks - their partners took "leave of absence" during laundry - completely AWOL can you believe! Unable to bring myself to part with these 3 (happy and distance memories) Reading this thread I have had a flash of inspiration, I will bring them and ear them on my next...
