    Support the people who support us Pilgims

    To All. I hope Ivar might be able to help us. For all of the people who take care of us while we are on our journey, this is a wonderful time for us to pay back. Caregivers along our journey are going to suffer. As Pilgrims, let’s repay our debt. I was going to walk again in April. Where is...

    We hide

    How incredibly profound. Thank you, William. This, to me is why I walk the Camino more than once. To open up out of hurt and commune with people on the same road. The aspect of being vulnerable, strong and in tune with oneself all at the same time. To me it is pilgrims, but also all of the...

    Early Morning Pilgrims - Suggestion

    A funny story....In one of the hostels, I ended up being the only woman in a seven bed room. Three bunks and and one sacrificial lamb. I was assigned the "lamb" role. Upon reflection, I moved myself to a bottom bunk and used my bath towel as a privacy screen. Late in the day six men as a...

    Which legs do I cut out?

    Just to expand a tad. To me, kindness laughter and humor help me through difficult times, so even though I hadn't followed Kanga's thread, I understood and loved her message. We each have a Camino we need to walk. Sometimes we know why, sometimes not. My only thought is do what you need to...

    Which legs do I cut out?

    I love your reply Kanga. For me, the first time I had the choice of totally failing or making adjustments. This time around, I am hoping to keep all body parts.

    Which legs do I cut out?

    2 cents not even worth 1. I had to make adjustments, I took public transport, bus, train and taxi into and out of the big cities to make time. Sometimes, I took a taxi and then walked, just to make up time. I dawdle. In all honesty, I will walk again this year so I can do it all giving...

    USA American

    There was a thread I couldn't participate in for some reason and I really want to respond. In 2015, I was so fearful to walk alone, older, and female also a USA American, I didn't really talk to many people to begin with. Being aware of how we are thought of. I have to say, it was really...

    What was the hardest part of the Camino de Santiago?

    What a wonderful question. To me, it was my fears. I worried about the climb to Roncesvalles. I worried about falling. I snore, I worried about disturbing other people sleeping. I met a woman who fell and broke her foot coming down from O Cebreiro. I worried about that. I discovered that...

    Lost for words....

    I am so sorry for your losses. My mother died three years ago. We hadn't had any deaths in our immediate family, so this was very difficult. I am one of six children, we all dealt with her death differently. I am a physical person. I dug a pond six foot by nine foot and four feet deep...
