    Poll Why are you walking the camino?

    One can learn a great deal about the magnetism of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage simply by listening to the stories of those who walk it. I discovered four general categories of people who had been drawn to the Camino. I always get asked this question. What did you find on your Camino? I...

    Poll Which Camino are you planning next?

    Poles are antithetical to the " one man - one Camino philosophy" It is a unique experience. I do get the sociological effort - but you will not find any real truth in it. The Camino is not a telescope - is a microscope. It is about deeply personal narritive. Those who know, do not say...

    Does anyone else dream about A Camino?

    Of course we dream every 90 minutes in sleep during the REM Period ---but many of us do not remember our dreams. Freud (The Interpretaion of Dreams) talked about incorporating the "daily residue" into the narrative of our dreams. If you wanted to interprete this dream - it is essentially an...

    Amazing narrative - well written - you need to write a book! What a courageous woman - very inspiring. You are one tough lady- I was captivated by the story!!!! The rain was cold, the wind was brutal and the surf rough, but it was wonderful to feel alive. This is like Hemingway -perhaps...

    On this date in December...

    OK--- sorry to not be focused on your December post----yes ---few pilgilms go then. Great idea to reminisce--- about the Camino month by month! It really does affect the experience - "To every thing there is a season." Great posts - very magnetic---engaging.

    Back Up Documents

    They are universally marketed using the offensive version - even on Amazon. Of couse we Americans--- have no idea of what a "Flat" is - or what you do in the "loo" or how to "queue up" in line in a proper fashion.

    Back Up Documents

    I totally agree - I am a digital "bonehead" The digital stuff you and other pilgrims use - is probably the best- Just doesn't work for me. The most important thing is to have any system of back up - not what the details of the particular strategies are. We all have refrigerations - but they...

    Back Up Documents

    Point was that the ipad mini and the official passport and pilgrim credentials are all in the Backpack. Which could be lost or stolen. Then everything is gone. What do you do when the ipad losses its charge and you are in the woods --- or you have no Wifi - what happens if you keep the pack but...

    Back Up Documents

    Do not carry a smart phone either on off the Camino - so must have paper douments. Just the guide book and one writing journal and and old fashion pen - imagine that! Kept the one map page I needed for that day in a ziplock in vest pocket for easy access - rest of Brieley book in deep down in...

So would not have to take off money belt frequently Since I kept my passport in my Back pack with my Pigrim Credential Booklet.- I had...

    Most unusual Camino souvenir

    A bit more about the encounter - very romantic --- Ophelia was sitting on a plush couch in the reception area on the ground floor of the guesthouse when I returned from dinner, and she looked up at me and smiled as she rolled a cigarette. The smile revealed a Lauren Hutton gap between her...

    Most unusual Camino souvenir

    On my Portuguese Camino I met a Portuguese woman who was staying at the same hotel in Barcelos. We really connected and I told her that I wanted to return after I complete my Camino. So after I got to Santiago, I returned to Barcelos and we had a mad eight day love affair before I had to fly...

    Alubias de Cantabria

    If you travel the Primivo you will see lots of bean stews on the menu. Asturians is said to the "bean central" in Spain. Fabada asturiana, often simply known as fabada, is a rich Spanish bean stew, originally from and most commonly found in the autonomous community of Principality of Asturias...
