    Credentials (donativo)

    Re: Free Credentials Granted it was in 1987, but I never had an actual credential on my camino. Starting in Pamplona, I just got stamps along the way on the inside front and back covers of my guidebook- and I did ultimately receive a compostela/compostelana- think that would still work today?

    Poorly feet and avatars

    Sometimes a thread withers and goes away that you think is a particulary good idea- this is one of those that I'd like to try to re-invigorate with this posting. Can you give us some insight into your particular avatar (i.e. the picture above your name)? :?:

    Why has "No Money" topic pilgrim created such controversy?

    I think it generated interest because the essence of the OP's question was, "Do you think it is OK for me to lie if I feel my intentions are good?" It's a classic moral dilemma.

    I'm agnostic, should I be going?

    Your self-description matches mine to a T- and the Camino was one of the best experiences of my life- don't miss it!

    Thanks forum

    Falcon! Please put your purist spoiler alerts at the beginning of your post- now I'm all upset! :lol:

    How do you tell people what the Camino de Santiago is?

    I walked the Camino when I was 21. My parents accepted my decision to walk, although I highly doubt they understood it- I'm not sure they understand even now. The Camino has had a very deep influence on my life, mostly in ways that are subtle and not obvious to the outside observer. If you...

    Have any forum members started their relationship on the Cam

    This thread reminds me of a quotation I've been pondering lately: "Men more frequently need to be reminded than informed." -Samuel Johnson

    Have any forum members started their relationship on the Cam

    Just curious how often love strikes on the Camino...

    The most significant moment of the day.

    For me it was sunrise. I got into the habit of starting about an hour before dawn and walking in the dark under the stars (a wonderful respite from the July heat). Then, while hiking, I got to watch a beautiful sunrise unfold all around me- it was very magical. I'm not typically a very early...

    What is the most you have walked in a day?

    Good question: mine was 43 km. When I walked ('88) there were no refugios between Sahagun and Mansilla de las Mulas. There was an abandoned apeadero (small train station) that was listed in my guide as a possible camping point, and I waited out a storm there, but a lack of water and the rats...

    Old boots. What to do?

    I see a wonderful table centerpiece and conversation starter, myself.... :P

    Has the Camino helped your career?

    Review of "The Way" with Martin Sheen

    I've wondered a bit about that too, which the filmmakers deliberately left vague. I noticed in Neil Kirby's documentary (see other thread) that on the way up from St. Jean Pied de Port he mentions a female walker who died recently (no firm date given but I think he walked in 2010) on the Camino...

    Review of "The Way" with Martin Sheen

    Johnnie, this article might shed some light: http://www.indiewire.com/article/legend ... ice-blues# 8) (Movie star smilie)

    Anomalies in THE WAY

    I thought at one point they showed an overnight stay, with the outside scene being the facade of the church at San Juan de Ortega, but the interior shot being a cloisters (maybe Samos?) which I don't remember inside San Juan de Ortega.

    Review of "The Way" with Martin Sheen

    Just got back from seeing The Way- it was hard to watch the movie without turning to the person next to me to say, "I've been there, I stayed there, I walked there" etc. So instead I'm turning to my fellow forum members... :) I saw the movie in Denver in a cinema with about 100 other people...

    Review of "The Way" with Martin Sheen

    Re: Review of the Martin Sheen movie I'm just worried that if the film doesn't get some momentum (at least here in the US), this will be the last week or two it will be on a big screen- so if you wait you may have to settle for the DVD version. :cry:

    What and Whom is this Forum for?

    Koby (and other newbies), Don't be put off by a single thread. We, as a diverse group, sometimes get a little navel-gazey and wander off topic a bit. But don't worry- soon someone will mention plastic bags, dogs or blisters and we'll be back on track, opinionated and relevant* as ever. :lol...

    what was your most expensive "unscheduled" cost

    I was pretty bare bones most of the way but my biggest unscheduled cost was two unplanned postal parcels, filled with excess/heavy stuff, mailed from the Camino to a holding address in Madrid. Have you gotten the meta-message from this forum yet?: Pack less than you think you will need!
