    Birthday card from 2019

    Don, What a great card and memento. I had to use a cane to walk for 5-6 years after an auto accident then I guess the nerves healed or grew back together. Since then I have walked many caminos. I hope you heal as well as I did. I sure didn't expect it and I sure thank God! Mike

    What suggestions would you make to improve the camino journey?

    I would like the opportunity to accept an empty trash bag when I leave an albergue and a place to drop it off (hopefully full) a town or two down the road. Strictly voluntary and no pressure (and no reward) to participate.

    Are there snakes on the Camino?

    I believe that is true. In the U.S. venomous snakes, spiders, etc are commonly referred to as poisonous though the correct term is venomous. There are many venomous species of snakes, spiders, and caterpillars in Europe.

    Are there snakes on the Camino?

    I'm no expert on snakes of that region but it looks like a viper to me. (venomous) I sure would like to hear other opinions or positive ID.

    Are there snakes on the Camino?

    Baskian viper that I encountered on the Francés. It wanted nothing to do with me.

    Post a picture of your "shadow".

    One thing I noticed years ago on the Francés was, due to inexperience I suppose, my shadow would take off like a bat out of hell first thing in the morning as if it were a race then later in the day would be lagging behind me all tuckered out. Since then walking the Portugués and the Inglés it...

    Most Affordable Camino??

    For me the biggest expense is getting from the US to Europe. It costs me about the same amount of money as I spend walking the Camino for two months. The overall cost per day for me is about the same on all of the Caminos I have walked in Spain and Portugal. I have heard that France and Italy...

    Francés or Portugues for First Timer

    I have walked many caminos in both countries, for me the Francés feels like a pilgrimage and there was a lot of camaraderie. The Portugués feels more like a vacation with fewer churches and many people mostly walking with someone that they came with. On the French route people seemed to be...
