    Niggling hates (dislikes) on Camino

    I remind all women that the easiest thing is to carry at least one roll of biodegradable doggie poop bags with her, pick up any paper and waste, and carry it to the next garbage tin. In addition - same goes for any man whose poop schedule is irregular enough to have to occasionally use the...

    Ancient Varieties of Trees Planted Along Pilgrimage Routes in France

    This map is courtesy of the aucoeurdeschemins.org website. I'm SO impressed with their hard work.

    Ancient Varieties of Trees Planted Along Pilgrimage Routes in France

    I was just reading the aucoeurdechemins.org website in preparation for another pilgrimage and learned something delightful that others might be interested in. I discovered there, that some of the pelerins, in cooperation with the local municipalities, have been planting small "micro-vergers"...

    No hot water in Sahagun

    Just as a comment and not intended to do anything else but give a somewhat interesting piece of history - I think there are still quite a few of us around who remember well when hot water was the exception and cool or cold water was the norm. I learned quickly how to shower without really...

    Is it me? (Pilgrim signs are everywhere)

    My daughter and I were speaking about a friend who sadly has dementia. She turned to me and said "If you get like that I'm going to paint yellow arrows around the property (2 acres) on the rocks and trees, hand you your boots, poles and backpack, hand out café con leche or orange juice a couple...

    Bathtubs and Other Essentials While on the Camino!

    This is an 'ohmigoodness you younguns are so soft' post and is a bit tongue in cheek so I hope you take it as a small bit of history and not any kind of criticism! I read all of the comments above with interest and a bit of amusement I have to admit. "Back in the day... blah...

    Custom mojon to remind us of our caminos!

    It's just a guess, but I imagine anyone who carves stones (eg. memorial stones of any kind?) would be able to do it.

    Poll Which Camino are you planning next?

    I've been wanting to walk from Vezelay for several years - then on to El Norte through to Santiago. Not sure of timing of course because of covid restrictions. I'm SO looking forward to getting back. So many caminos, so little time!

    Where have all the witches gone?

    I love the story I was told at the end of my first camino in 2003. Like many, after the excitement of arriving at Santiago and receiving my compostela, I wandered into various stores, not willing to just sit and rest. One of the first stores I entered was full of what I thought of as "kitchen...

    funniest things seen abandoned on camino

    I can't remember which year this was but this picture I took on one of my caminos, always makes me laugh and scratch my head - and then wonder who had to clean it up.

    Barmy as a Bedbug

    Hi NeeT, Your camino actually started when you made your decision to travel:). But your starting point on your credencial is the point where you start walking (or biking). About Orisson, it depends, of course, on how quickly you walk or want to walk up to Orisson (there are a million photos to...

    Help me figure this out please.

    Annie, After all you've done on the camino and all you do here on the forum, I'm not surprised you're feeling done. I also wouldn't be surprised to see you change your heart on this after some time has passed. I can't presume to know what you need right now - other than something else. In the...

    Were you there in the 60's? A pilgrim song for you

    Love it David!! I may sing it for a good part of the way next time. Thank you. The rest of the time I'll be singing On the Way Again and Peter's list - except for Walk Like a Man (not sure that one works for me).

    Walking from Le Puy to Santiago (hopefully into Portugal) this December

    Oh my goodness Jade. The question is not whether there will be snow but whether you will ever be out of it! I walked in the spring of 2013, starting on April 2nd from Le Puy. At that point there was no snow in Le Puy but we had several inches of fresh snow up on the Aumont-Aubrac plateau. Those...

    A Fool's Journey- My Camino experience in paintings and stories

    There have been various other paintings and works of art posted on other sites on this forum. Some of them are under Miscellaneous/Camino Art, but I'm pretty sure there are others as well.
