    Happy International Women's Day

    Merci!

    Visas for stays longer than 90 days.

    Well, then! :-D Since Seattle is a no-go, I'll make a side trip to the consulate in February (I'm down in the Bay Area for a conference, and BART/MUNI are wonderful). Thanks so very much, Falcon! You saved me some time!

    Prayers please...

    Many prayers for you, Annie. I will light a candle for you this evening when I attend Christmas Mass at St. James here in Seattle.

    Visas for stays longer than 90 days.

    There is also an official consular agency here in Seattle connected to the consulate in San Francisco. Spain has one here as well. And many thanks, Falcon!

    Visas for stays longer than 90 days.

    Thank you all so much for the information. I am wanting to walk from Vezelay to Le-Puy-en-Velay through the Morvan, then take the Via Podensis and Camino Frances---yet wasn't certain I could do so within 90 days and had been seriously looking at a "D" visa. I'll contact the French embassy here...

    How many bedrooms?

    Short-term rent of camino house

    This is something my family and I have discussed many, many times over the past couple of years. A reliable Internet connection within driving distance is what two of us would need for work, but other than that, we can usually figure it out.

    Top or bottom bunk...and why?

    Most people offered me the lower bunk, probably because they were aware that with my length and heft I was likely to shake the entire bedstead when I turned over in my sleep. Best to have me nearer the floor where I was less likely to wake up my bunkmate. I brought two extra packages of...

    Spain's difficult recent past

    My hair is now salt and pepper, although when I was younger I was very fond of coloring it shades that are usually found in crayons and plant life. ;-) So I'm a wee bit biased towards grey.

    My favorite color!

    Did movie: "The Way" motivate you...

    I'd been wanting to do the pilgrimage since 1998, so the film only added to the number of people who knew what I had been talking about all this time. I am grateful! :-)

    Spain's difficult recent past

    On Easter Sunday in 2013 I walked out of Pension Sarasate in Pamplona directly into the rally for Aberri Eguna (which is held on the Paseo de Sarasate). I HAD been heading for the Cathedral, but decided to stay and listen, since I have only a layperson's understanding of the different flavors of...

    Spain's difficult recent past

    Another film by Guillermo del Toro that deals with some aspects of the Spanish Civil War (again, in a fantasy/horror fashion) is "The Devil's Backbone." Lovely movie, and wonderful acting and direction. It remains one of my favorites. But then, I also watch Julio Medem films. ;-) I appreciate...

    A Blessed Feast of St. James to all!

    Father, bless---and Buen Camino! Holy Apostle James, pray for us!
