    LIVE from the Camino August 2013 Compostelas

    indyinmaine wrote Does one stay away so as not to engulf those many people which indyinmaine says are searching for solitude? Johnny Walker's figures of over a thousand pilgrims a day are only for those who walks up his office to get a Compostela, it has been estimated that there are as many...

    Vatican introduces 25 Euros Fee for the Compostela!

    Nathaniel, I hope that you are being taught to be more tolerant ..... and teach harmony when you eventually graduate. The April 1st posting certainly livened up this forum. Asking for everyone to trust you, then telling someone to say more rosaries, is not in keeping with this happy...

    My Camino blog up for a SA Travel Blog Award

    Hi Sil, It is good to hear that your blog has received the attention that it deserves, I would vote it tops as the blog delivers information on a very measured tone, soothes the hysterics which so many bloggers are so prone to blog in extremis. It is non-religious without putting off those...

    Hape Kerkeling's pilgrimage on the small screen

    Dear Sil, I was first interested in the Camino after reading Shirley Maclaine's book. I then found this forum and your invaluable practical comments about the journey gave us, a 67 year old man and his wife, to do the Walk. We are practicing Catholics but never intended to do the walk as...

    Post-camino tattoo?

    Hi Lynnejohn [*If anyone can help me with uploading my tattoo pix, I'd appreciate it. I keep getting the message that it is limited to 256 kb.

    Euro 2008

    It would appear thatt Luis Aragonés will not be the first Spanish football coach to have walked the Camino de Samtiago, see the article written by Sid Lowe: Sid Lowe November 6, 2006 2:45 PM Betis coach Jabo Irureta isn't so much on the ropes as tumbling through them on to the judges' table...

    Posting Photos

    Yes Omar, there are several programs for resizing photos so they can be posted on the web, usually reduced to 600 pixels wide. Surf the web, or download the free sizing program for Windows "PIXresizer", sorry it may not work on the Mac. Let me know if this free program works for you. I did...

    stereotyping germans

    The above comments came in as I was about to post my comments, and after reading it I will let mine stand although I feel I am repeating what was put so ably by falcon. One of the greatest mysteries, and disappointment, to me and my wife was why the botufumero was not swung when we arrived at...

    Curfews ...

    to Sil, John and Javier - all agreed 100%, alleluia. I am confused, what was agreed on?

Let...

    hi Sil, Thank you for the website which gave more details of the New Anglican Bishop of Christchurch. We live in Christchurch New Zealand and to know she did the 800 km pilgrimage of the St James Walk is heartening. Wish there was more tolerance and attempts to lead a more harmonious life, she...

    Jesuit novices on pilgrimage

    Margaret, Thank you for sharing the website, it is very interesting and reminds me of Buddhism and Zen. Monks have been traveling with a begging bowl for centuries in Asia and is a pretty common sight there. And accepted there. They will not go hungry. This practice can draw facetious...
