    Free breakfast at the Parador in Santiago?

    20 years ago on my first Camino a fellow pilgrim told me that the first six pilgrims queing at the staff entrance in the morning armed with their compostela certificates would be treated to a full breakfast. Anyone know or is it just folklore?

    no toilet paper in washroom

    Can one imagine how much toilet paper is 'stolen' in the bars and cafés? I bet shrinkage costs a fortune. Just a thought. Best carry your own and ensure the avoidance of that sinking feeling.

    Bed bugs

    Do you know that the USA has a far bigger problem than Spain, In 20 years on the camino I have been bitten twice. Remember it is you that carries those bugs that is why as Hospis we insist that there are no packs are allowed on beds. One cannot blame the Albergue as the must have come from...

    Walking with a child

    No , go ahead with the child , 10 years old is not a baby. Pilgrims will make allowances for you but reduce your distance.

    Walking with a child

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

    The Tau cross is most appropriate. So many times I ask people wearing the cross what the meaning was and no one could tell me? So I had to do my own research. I understand that Pilgrims that walked to the Holy Land were given a cross on the forehead in ash by a priest to ward off evil and...

    On the Camino: One Day at a Time, one Photo at a Time 9.0

    I have posted this before a while back. After a wine laden menu del dia I asked these young ladies if I could take their photo. I feel it was one of my best portraits. Of note are the different expressions on their faces that all tell a story of what they were thinking on me. I was certainly not...

    Cooking for Vegans: Easy and Delicious Recipes and Tips

    Most interesting , I have noticed that most people I know have a signature dish that they are good at preparing. Even though you cannot play the piano and I understand that FULLY! , you still have a coping mechanism , I like that. Your little recipe is perhaps the most simple and best so far.

    Cooking for Vegans: Easy and Delicious Recipes and Tips

    I have a few members of our family that are vegans. I do not understand it but I really do not want to be ignorant. I have seen a chicken moved of the dinner as it has an offensive smell , yet the same person ate meat for 30 years? In today's times it just seems so difficult to please everyone -...
