    Duo Lingo or Something Else?

    Easy ways to share Camino updates with family?

    Last fall when I was by myself on the Camino del Norte, I sent a few pictures and a short message every evening to my mother on Messenger. That’s the only app she has or knows how to use. I copied the same message to my kids and husband on Signal. If you don’t know about Signal please check it...
