    Partially unplugging from the world

    I am wondering how you disconnect, in part, from the world. I have a couple of reasons that I need to be accessible but, I don't want to be constantly connected on this journey. Ideas?

    How often do you take a break?

    My wife and I walk a lot. Yesterday we hiked in the mountains all day and this morning we walked about 5km after breakfast. Yesterday was a hard walk due to steep ups and downs. At the end of the trail I needed a serious break. I’m 60 and in good shape, all things considered. I’m trying to...

    The ticking clock

    My wife and I have also talked about volunteering in the federal park system. We met a guy last winter who was a volunteer, or low paid employee, at the Cape Hatteras Light House. We are both retired and working part time. In a very short period of time a lot of our responsibilities will have...

    The ticking clock

    I notice that a lot of people who post here talk about not putting the Camino off. The underlying theme being death, the relentless march of time. I honestly love that. My wife passed from cancer in 2021. We didn’t know she had it till it was very advanced. From diagnosis to death was one...

    4-week experience of being a Hospitalero

    I'm at the age now where I'm coming to grips with the fact that there will be selfish jerks in the world who are suffering and creating suffering. I just know that somehow, I have to find a way to be at peace and still love people in the midst of it all.

    Don't put off going back to Camino - count your remaining weeks!

    I'm 60. My first wife died of cancer a couple of years ago. She was sick for years and couldn't do much for a long time. The lessons I learned from caring for her, from being by her side through her hospice and death. The good Lord blessed me with a fantastic woman to partner with and make...

    Asking for Encouragement to Continue the Camino

    I tend to be hard headed, at least that's what my wife used to say...God rest her sweet soul. I encourage you to refuse to let this beat you. You were strong enough to get there you're strong enough to keep pushing forward. Speak words to yourself that point you where you ultimately want to...

    Amount of euros

    I'm a retired police detective. I saw lots of credit card fraud charges made from cloned accounts originate in Spain. I plan to us euros and just use my card for ATMs. I also plan to rely mostly on cash. I'll plan to carry about 500 euros even at the risk for theft. It's a finite amount and...
