    Learning Spanish Podcast - Recommendations?

    Witsend, I've found Covid and US politics have dominated the news this year, as well as my Facebook feed, and understand why someone would want to turn away from this. Language podcasts seem like a great option. I appreciate the recommendations here Notes on Spanish looks well done, but...

    Just...Wow!

    Those jumped out at me too. Was gonna make a wise crack about a pilgrim loopy on too much wine. Then I followed Jeff Crawley's "stack of coins" advice, and it appears to be Senda del Pastoreo / GR282 According one site, it is a "Multi-day route through the mountains of Alava...based on the...

    The Prado was amazing! Definitely going back someday

    What is the most unusual thing you have seen on any Camino?

    Yep, it's a detail from Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch. One of the trippiest paintings I've ever seen-- and I've been to Dali's house! lol

    What is the most unusual thing you have seen on any Camino?

    Probably seen by most who've walked the CF, but still a bit unusual

    Dollar rises against Euro

    No investing for me till I get rid of the 20,000 "Forever" postage stamps I bought in 2013...

    Dazed or confused after Camino?

    Thank you all. Forum comes through again, with definite answer to the Am I alone question. In each of your replies is some piece of what I'm feeling. Planning is good medicine. I'm now working on a trip to Innsbruck for a week or two, and feeling better. May not find all the answers there...

    Dazed or confused after Camino?

    I can't be the first person to come off the Camino-- weeks of living focused, fairly well-structured days-- and feel a little bit lost. There's no job to jump back into. If I did get the flash of insight-- the "This is what you're gonna do with your life!" moment I'd hoped for-- well, I must...

    Thanks for the heads up, Neo. I was looking at that WHW site today-- a Scotsman I met on the Camino told me about it. Looks lovely, and not too intimidating post-Cebreiro. :)

    Thanks Rick. Hadrian's Wall and the John Muir Way are both on short list! :)

    Finished my Camino, but not done walking

    Thank you Katharina. I'd been thinking only of linear hikes, but day hikes based in some beautiful area could be great too. The Lauterbrunnen Valley is on my bucket list-- and Hadrian's Wall is on short list for this Summer :)

    Not a zero-sum though-- plenty to go around. ;) Thanks Marcel!

    Finished my Camino, but not done walking

    Thank you, Sally-- I´ll check those links out! Just learned about the John Muir Way (and Scottish midges) this morning. Growing up in Northern California, the name jumped out at me. Are the midges manageable with netting and spray? One thing I rediscovered on this Camino is that I have...

    Finished my Camino, but not done walking

    You´re sweet-- thanks! I´ll take a look at that. Stories of 9 Euro bottles of water put me off from Norway, but there´s no doubt the views are stunning :)

    Finished my Camino, but not done walking

    Thanks Annette! Lake District and Wales are both on my list. I´ll check out Ireland. If they have a National System and websites as useful as Britain and Scotland´s, that´ll be a plus. Southern France will need to wait for a different season-- had enough heat this past week! :)

    Finished my Camino, but not done walking

    Thanks Evan. I´ll probably save France and/or Italy for Fall or Spring due to the heat. But Switzerland...I´ll check it out!

    Finished my Camino, but not done walking

    Thanks Falcon, and yes-- I´m keeping an eye on that! After a quick Madrid trip, I´ll have about 5 weeks in my "Schengen Budget.¨ Will be sure to get stamps to show I´m playing by the rules.
