    Walking with headphones?

    Yes, the issue IS about bicyclists and the hazard they pose to those who choose not to hear and those who cannot hear.

    Walking with headphones?

    Sorry that this happened to you. I am an avid biker, but bikes on the camino are a bad idea. I cannot imagine the audacity of ringing a bell or honking a horn and expecting a pedestrian to get out of my way. There are plenty of quiet back roads and farm roads that bikers could use to make...

    Walking with headphones?

    People who wear big or noticeable headphones might not be listening to anything at all. On an airplane or on a walk, it often signals the same thing: "not interested in conversation right now". Not wearing headphones so that bicyclers can be heard is about as strange as saying that the deaf...

    Lunch in Madrid

    The poster also indicated that there was time for lunch.

    Changes to the Camino

    I see no smoke... as if too much incense smothered the embers.

    Changes to the Camino

    I too would enjoy watching this; I view it as something of a gimmick.

    Albergue idea - group snorers together, away from non-snorers

    Plenty. When traveling, I always stay in hostels. Each is unique but in general, the albergue environment is similar all over the planet. I think many pilgrims off the camino who would not consider a hostel in their other travels. Too bad about that. Such lodging can be just a rewarding on...

    Making lemonade

    My first two days out of France were similar to yours, except more wet! I enjoyed reading your blog posts but "My shoes and sticks are well worn," ...how did that happen? Peace out, Gurl Scout.

    A Change in the distance requirement?????

    Are you sure of that? The Pearly Gates might or might now open for me. I think it will be something of a toss-up. I think The Compostela on my resume might be the deciding factor.

    Strangest food & drink on the Camino

    Thirty years ago, unsure what I was ordering, I got the same type of food. But mine was a sausage served on a baguette. It smelled great. I took one bite and was horrified to see inside, the rolled up pigs ears. These had been shaved, but not closely; looked like my stubble after not shaving...

    Making friends on the camino

    You will easily meet all sorts of others along your way. But I suggest that you do not set your heart on finding someone who walks at the same pace. I met a few others and felt significant joy, but I never did walk with anyone. For me, walking should be at an effortless cadence. Slowing or...

    Making friends on the camino

    Well said.

    Being awakened in the dark ?

    Well established by now: no one thinks your signage is a good idea and I agree. The wise pilgrim has only the essentials with them. If they need to search around in the dark for their things, sooner than later, they will leave something important behind. If they are able to learn, perhaps...

    Let's Start A Pilgrim's Albergue in Santiago de Compostela!

    "The only service they do not provide is overnight accommodations. Learn why they do not do this" If you know their reason, why not share it?

    My pet-peeve: Selfies

    I agree about the videos Efrén produces... nicely done.

    Snack Bars made of Oats

    These should come with a health warning. They are overly sweet with refined sugar... more like an adult candy bar.

    Don't let the grouchy old farts get you down.

    Let's Start A Pilgrim's Albergue in Santiago de Compostela!

    I am looking for a reason why any good person would post such poor sarcasm... and finding none.
