    On this date in November...

    On this date November 10, 2019, my friend Kathy and I arrived in Santiago, in pouring rain. We had walked the central route of the Portugues from Lisbon, by way of Fatima. Beautiful camino days until the second day in Porto, thereafter it rained for the better part of every day after. I...

    Toilet Paper Alternatives for Camino. . maybe?

    I'm with trecile. I have the Pstyle and really love it. Caught in heavy rain on the Sanabrés in the spring of 2017 with down jacket, windbreaker, pack, and a long raincoat over everything. Really had to go! There was no place dry to take the raincoat and pack off and that is when I vowed to try...

    On this date in October...

    At the baptism of Jesus, the prophet Simeon, told Mary "Behold, this One has been set for the ruin and the resurrection of many in Israel, and as a sign that will be contradicted. And a sword will pass through your own soul, so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed." Thus the swords...

    Windy maps

    I used it when we got off course on the Portugues route. You have to download the maps for the region you are interested in beforehand. A Spanish pilgrim told me about it as I was nearing Toro on the Levante. I am seeing it will map out routes for hikes in my part of the US as well. I...

    12 year old forced to walk

    "Not Story" I just returned 10 days ago from walking the Via de la Plata, Seville to Santiago (with two weeks post, visiting family in France). Just before Zamora we ran into Philippe and the boy. Never did get the boys name, but we walked with them for two days. Then they needed to stay an...

    women if your hair tangles easily...

    My hair is colored as well. In the months before departing on a Camino, I try to save one or two of the tubes of special conditioner that come with the hair coloring kit. Two of these tubes (which are about the size of a very small toothpaste - 55 mls each) lasted me 10 weeks on my last Camino...

    Thinking of buying an albergue...or becoming a hospitalero...or sleeping in an albergue

    Woah! This sounds like my life about 15 - 20 years ago... Raising 8 children on a goat dairy farm and getting all the chores done and half the group off to school by 8AM. I'd be up for hospital era duties, but looking forward to VdlP April/May 2017 and the Portugues from Lisbon first.... To...

    Tears on the Camino. The gift of tears.

    My first tears of the Camino were on the train in Bayonne, when I saw the first pilgrims. Then again at the Mass in Roncesvalles. But when I got to the Cruz de Ferro, I totally lost it: put my arm around the wooden post and couldn't stop sobbing! I thought I was the only one! Other tears on and...

    Do I need treatment for a forum addiction?

    Ha! We redid our house while I was on Camino Frances September/October 2014 and I now have a Whole Closet dedicated to Camino related books, my pack, sleeping bag, clothing, pictures, etc! Was hoping to go and be done with it but now I am being "called " to VdlP for just after Easter 2016. The...

    Thinking About Lent

    Christians have just this week started their season of Lent. Our church is participating in a program called Living the Eucharist. There is a flyer in our church bulletin every Sunday during Lent. I was struck with the first paragraph of this morning's flyer for the first Sunday of Lent: How...

    Where did you walk today?

    Ft. Seward Wagon Train--Jamestown, North Dakota. (USA) I walked the entire 68 miles this year… Several people asked if I had "trained" for it. I guess I am training for something bigger; but at least hopefully I won't have to sleep in a tent in the mud when it rains! Great fun; this was my...
