    Are you 70+ and still walking Caminos?

    I don't think I've been on here in over four years but just happened to see this forum! I was curious about how you all were faring with COVID-19. Sunday was my 89th birthday and I joined this forum just before I walked with my daughter in 2013 at the age of 82. I wasn't a walker when I started...

    Magic Moments / Lessons on the Camino

    The real magic of the Camino is the number of reprises you have after you return. It's been 16 months now since walking into Santiago in the rain. I don't think there's a day that goes by when some portion of a particular day comes to mind and it plays back in my mind like a trailer for a movie...

    Magic Moments / Lessons on the Camino

    I had the same thing happen in Rabanal. My landlady ran up the street after me with my gloves in her hand. The following morning it was about 5 degrees C!

    Magic Moments / Lessons on the Camino

    What a great thread. I suspect there is depth even beyond the "magic". I came upon a group of women who were having one of those "Teddy Bear" picnics. Afterwards they invited me to join them in a memorial service for those who had died recently. You come so close to those you've never met in a...

    Where Do You Recommend To Get Engaged Along The Trail?

    I hope he didn't wait until Finisterre. There shouldn't have been "conditions" set on such a venture. You walk together from the beginning. I would have done it at Orisson or perhaps a little further up the "hill"!

    Short-term rent of camino house

    Ah, but all you'd have to do for that is to talk to the locals! That way you'll get feed back, instead of "fed up"!

    Short-term rent of camino house

    I'd ditto all those except the TV. I felt liberated on the Camino without it. Possibly add a small freezer when there wasn't fresh produce aruond. As for the location, it works if you want solitude or need to "escape" the world but you can always escape to Leon or Burgos. Don't know what your...

    Litter!!!

    It's like evangelizing, only the subject is significantly different!

    Top or bottom bunk...and why?

    I think that courtesy is the key word here. For the most part the younger peregrinos arrive earlier than those of us who are somewhat older! I'm not sure they intend to grab the bottom one. It's just more convenient. Sometimes I climbed up top without saying anything but there were those times...

    Is this an old peoples walk ?

    This "old person" skipped the descent down from the Alto del Perdon after "sliding down" into Zubiri. Sticks would have helped in both cases, to be sure, but I certainly felt challenged.

    What a treasure! Thank you.

    Shuttle between T1 and T4 Madrid (in a hurry)

    I don't really want to vote in the negative but I'd go as far as to say it's impossible! Add to that the fact that you're in Spain and that slows it down even more.

    To walk or not to walk....

    There is truly only your answer. And even more certain, you won't discover it until you're walking and the Camino reveals it to you, whether you're doing it together or alone.

    We are the sum of our experiences.

    "In any event the Camino will be in it's own way yet another experience to shape us, hopefully in a way that helps us understand ourselves and others better." One year (almost!) out I'm beginning to believe that it's what the Camino gives to each of us which is far more important than what we...

    Camino amnesia

    WOW!! I can see doing a Camino for all sorts of reasons, including getting away from the noise and clamor of life but to have only a sporadic memory, and then particularly of the cities???? That's difficult. While I did walk for a specific purpose and it was for religious reasons (that's a very...
