    All the single ladies, all the single ladies

    Hi Jane Thank you for sharing. I have thought about the problem of having a spirit that is alive enough to do the Camino yet having a body that will not cooperate. Right now it is one of my great fears. Thank you for "lurking" in the background and enlightening us as you take cover there. I...

    All the single ladies, all the single ladies

    You will be fine but do take care as you should anywhere. I think it might be naïve to think that problems could not arise. You seem very friendly and you will meet people like you. Buen Camino!!

    At 62 thinking of getting my first tattoo, A Tau Cross?

    Ok I put a comment out about tattoos being a negative thing. The post was removed. I have had a few moments lately where I realize that perhaps life should not be seen in a rigid way. Lately I am embracing humanity more and frankly we make little sense most of the time. We pilgrims are...

    At 62 thinking of getting my first tattoo, A Tau Cross?

    Marc you are absolutely right. The immune system has a very hard time dealing with tattoos and they are not recommended. The tattoo is identified as a foreign invader and the body struggles to clear it up. I think over the long term, tattoos will become treated much like smoking is now- a...

    Seeking Canadian secular pilgrims who experienced transformation on the Camino for research

    and who decides????? I have seen these ethical tribunals become the new ecclesiastical judges of our society. Let's not forget there is a 23 years old on the tribunal because we want everyone represented. Sometimes these work but sometimes it is the self proclaimed arbiters of truth that are...

    Seeking Canadian secular pilgrims who experienced transformation on the Camino for research

    How to stream the movie "The Way" in the US

    On amazon prime in Canada. If they pull it, it could be a disaster as I watch it whenever I have more than 3 glasses of wine. I have pretty well memorized the entire script- I need to drink less.

    Overtaking étiquette.

    I think any slow walker should be shamed completely, asked to leave the path, drop the compostella, and return to the country they came from. Fast walkers deserve the same fate and everyone should go at my rate and there should not be any problems. 😜 I remember watching an old Candid Camera...

    great video on how to be an ally to LGBTQ+folks on the Camino

    We are people and pilgrims... We have social responsibility to respect others and that goes both ways.

    LIVE from the Camino Would you walk in these?

    Reminded of Nancy Sinatra's hit "These boots are made for walkin and that's just what they'll do, and one of these days these boots will walk the camino". Start walkin boots!

    Better Organization needed for distributing Compostelas!

    I run a production facility and our systems need to evolve with the amount of work we are doing. The systems we used, even two years ago, are antiquated. It is hard in a volunteer environment to bring about change. I think this is a perfect forum to bring up issues of efficiency and...

    LIVE from the Camino Would you walk in these?

    Well maybe next time around she can do the camino like a true pilgrim and do it on her knees. I don't think it will hurt quite as much as those shoes!! You know it takes all kinds to make a horde of pilgrims, she can proudly wear the shoes and we will accept her and the shoes.......... Just...

    The Camino Isn’t A Pilgrimage Anymore

    I had a moment during my Camino. I was, at one time, very devout and then kind of went the other way and lived as an atheist for decades. Then the Camino entered in... A crazy obsession almost. I was emotional as I started and wondered what the hell was going on. All Camino routes are a...

    Digital credential

    This is HERESY! Ok not really but it makes me think how technology is integrated into traditional places. What next? In times past someone could walk the Camino on your behalf and you get the compostella. What about having a robot walk the Camino for you so you don't have to do it yourself...
