    Finishing my Camino and feeling incomplete.

    Hey! While in Santiago, check in with the gang at the Pilgrim House! They are there for support and to help with debriefing, as well as readjustment to the extent they can! I'm volunteering there later this summer and really looking forward to it! Gary

    Communion at the Cruz de Ferro?

    Hi Brady! It's just going to be my daughter and I. I can lead a communion service.....don't need a priest, although if you have one handy....hahaha! I forgot about the chapel. I was thinking of the picnic area across the street?

    Hospitaleros & The Pilgrim

    I would love to make a request of you...if you might... I would love to serve somewhere, but I purchased a one-way to Biarritz, starting in SJPP, and don't have a "hard stop" ....although it is likely that by June sometime I'll have some idea when my this camino will be complete. I just wonder...

    Hospitaleros & The Pilgrim

    Hi David! I'm heading to London in May....Tom Friesen is apparently doing a second training....which is good as I don't really relish heading to Ottawa in January...

    Hospitaleros & The Pilgrim

    Jenny, that is kinda what I'm hoping to do, as I start my hospitalero lifestyle...lol... I would love to make a request of you...if you might... I would LOVE to work at the Pilgrim Office when I finish....but therein lies the challenge! I purchased a one-way to Biarritz, starting in SJPP, but...

    Hospitaleros & The Pilgrim

    Would you consider helping in an albergue following your Camino? If you have, what were your experiences like? Especially interested in hearing from those who stayed on in Spain or France, or Portugal immediately following your pilgrimmage... Thank you all for "your humble opinions"!!

    Doing the Backstroke on the CF

    Clearly you KNOW men! You know I didn't....lol Hopefully we can pick some up? Thanks so much for the weather reports, as it gives us hope of a sunburn instead of a lesson in backstroke!

    Doing the Backstroke on the CF

    I have a big ole poncho that has worked...but glad I have someone helping get the thing over the backpack...never quite sorted that little item out..lol..got caught once outside and with the wind and snow, and ice pellets, I was pretty beat up. My gear did stay dry with the cover I had on the...

    Doing the Backstroke on the CF

    No A, it's a massive golf umbrella. I can kinda lodge it into the side pocket and it will cover all the pelegrinos from SJPP to Roncevalles!

    Doing the Backstroke on the CF

    Hi All! First, thank you all SO MUCH! Your comments around my former post about being paranoid have given me a boost.....just in time too, as I now have read the weather report for the first 10 days (all I can get right now) from SJPP right through to Pamploma, Burgos, and Lorgrono(?)...

    Bed bug question

    Is it impolite to want to know which Estella albergue it was? Will be there soon and would like to know! Kinda thought covid's new hygienic normals might have killed them off...a little too optimistic!

    Cooking on the Camino

    Hi all! I just picked up a very lightweight 2 person pan set... I seem to understand that at times one may have the chance to save a Euro or two, while being able to serve those pilgrims nearby with a meal.... In Your Humble Opinion...(love that!), can a wannabe chef have fun with something like...
