    Terve, I´ve been thinking about the Camino. Is it really a pilgrimmage or just a "adventure"/hiking experience?.It´s not what you say, but what you do. -T-

    How to recycle on the Camino

    Terve, this tells us the attitude towards the environment. What it tells us about pilgrimmage, I´m not sure, but it is very annoying. If I´m able to carry my food, I´m also able to carry my waste to the next pin. -T-

    Do-It-Yourself food on the Camino

    Hello, if you feel the need of vitamin C you could eat spruce spring greens, the light green ones. Or to go to the extreme, you could dig out cattail roots from the shore, wash them and eat them as poor man asparagus. -T-

    2009 will be a 'high tide'

Then i read the news about the crowds, somebody in Santiago estimated that there will about 250 000 pilgrims that year and approx one million ( !) tourists in the town to walk thru the holy door.

    Bed bugs alert

    Hello, this is quite yacky. Living here "in the clean Sacandinavia" bedbugs are not that common. It´s very difficult to imagine how to cope with them. You can´t win them or you can´t join them. Should one sleep in tent instead or use extra strong insect repellent, really toxic poison spray ...

    The Economic Downturn

    I´ve been visiting this about three weeks now. I´ve read every Finnish book about the Camino and I´ve come to the conclusion that the camino means something to the people who walks, works or is some other way connected to it. Or maybe we Finns are too serious people. I´m not trying do my first...

    The Economic Downturn

    Hello, I read two weeks ago from Mundicamino that they expect the recession will hit the Camino in 2010. Maybe there´s a need for meditation, people may have more time for themselves or maybe it´s the only vacation they can afford. Let´s hope that we´ll get by or at least we could learn...

    Does this forum make us happy?

    Hello, this forum makes extremely happy. Where else could I get up to date information? How could I "meet" other pilgrims in so big numbers? How else could I keep my mind in peace? During the three weeks I´ve been visiting this forum, I´ve learned more than I could never dream. Now it´s easy to...
