    Hiking Quotes - just for fun.

    I was just going to quote that as it’s one of my favorites and often though of on the Camino. Another, often thought of on the Norte is Dylan’s “Yes to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, Silhouetted by the sea, Circled by the circus sands, With all memory and fate...

    Has anyone ever walked principally at night?

    You said you were thinking about the CP. We just did the coastal from Porto, and I would think the combination of the boardwalks and the lack of tree cover could make for some beautiful sights out over the ocean, especially with a full moon. Buon caminho

    Camino in my local paper

    That is my favorite church on the camino. I would have given anything to have been there that day But on a slightly related note was able to hear a French choir practice in By far my favorite church on the camino. I would have loved to have been there that day. On a sideways note, I was lucky...

    Recognize this?

    So many great comments above. In Hontanas on my first one I overheard someone saying "last time I stayed...." and I thought how would you want to do this again. Kms later I thought, well maybe some sections. Last September I took my husband and we did the whole thing (I had had to miss a...

    Sharing the Camino Spirit - Global Pilgrim BnB ? - Probably a Crazy Idea

    I think this is a great idea. Although well off the beaten track (upstate New York) we would love to have people stay who have experienced the camino. I am thinking about going the airbnb bit after our camino this fall, and when we can clean out our upstairs bedroom (my daughter's college...

    Terrorist attack on Istanbul airport

    Yes, my thoughts are with them too, and indeed with all the travelers who had to witness such a terrible scene. I flew through Brussels on my last camino, so airport bombings send a very deep chill into my heart. Hopefully we will all be safe, at least for a while.

    Name the one thing you could never have prepared for

    Hi Terry - glad to see you're progressing somewhere along the road. These things happen frequently - I had two different people volunteer to take my pack since I looked pretty beat, one of them who looked worse off than I felt I must have looked. I thanked them profusely, but carried on. The...

    Name the one thing you could never have prepared for

    I had wondered what these were. I stopped to read a lot of the names....now I know. This fall I will read them again knowing what they did for you and for others. Thanks, Cherry

    This Dangerous Business

    I could go for that. It would surely beat the 10% weight bit we all struggle with when packing. She had a whole library of her favorite books in there, too. We could bring all the great authors quoted above to read in our "spare time".

    This Dangerous Business

    Perfect - hopefully I'll get to see that this September. I missed your section last time due to injuries.

    This Dangerous Business

    One more, then it's back to dishes and laundry - The Road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot...

    This Dangerous Business

    The bridge I played it from was a small foot bridge and I played myself (walking solo as usual)!

    This Dangerous Business

    Well it took a bit of reading but the quote I was looking for was from Frodo as he, Sam and Pippin set off from Bag End "I pity snails, and all that carry their homes on their backs".

    This Dangerous Business

    This thread is right up my ally (or camino) and has sent me searching for my favorites. I wished for elevenses many times when I had not even had my first breakfast, let alone my second. Can't finds the quote I was looking for - maybe its Frodo not Bilbo talking so back to the book shelf but...

    Join me on a virtual camino walk this summer?

    Hi - I started reading all of this last night, enjoying the idea a lot, and thanks to a very slow mechanic today got inspired to walk 4.5 miles whilst waiting for my car. So I'm not quite sure how far up the hill I am, almost to Orisson, I think, and the weather is great. I'll catch up with...

    The ignorance of the English language...

    Yes I did read it before my camino - wanted to learn a little at least about the Basque area I was about to walk through. And I've been enjoying all the wit and good humor above. Burst out laughing at the Scot/Chinese bit.

    Collective nouns on the Camino :D

    If it's an amble of walkers would it be a preamble of planners?
