    A pandemic hobby

    I mistakenly thought this was a boring subject. Was I wrong! And I see we are all pretty much in the same boat! For me: Managing the Beilari FaceBook page including a little fundraising program and managing the big volunteer effort that got totally cancelled, working on the American Pilgrims on...

    The Coffee Question?

    You will have no problem if it is caffeine that you want. The Spanish Cafe con leche is wonderful. Espresso with frothed milk. An American is espresso with hot water added. No problem. Better than from where you come from

    Why? I am really sorry, but I really don´t understand. I don´t even necessarily want people on the Camino to know what I have done in my professional life. I really want to connect to them because we connect as human beings, not because of something I did or was or am in my professional history. ???

    Starting a new kilt thread (it is February, after all!).

    Don’t possess a kilt, but have often thought about having one. To me it would seem the perfect thing for the camino. Am a McClain here. Probably some long ago Scotts-Irish mix up!

    Are you 70+ and still walking Caminos?

    Did my first Francés last year at 74 and would be glad to share info with you. Managed it to my astonishment without blisters!

    Are you 70+ and still walking Caminos?

    Well, I guess you got lots of responses to this! I love them. I walked the Francés last year as I was moving out of my 74th year. Every step of it and carrying everything myself. It was such an amazing experience for me that I have booked my tickets for the Camino Primitivo in May. Before that I...

    Good news for older peregrinos

    Very interesting! I love the response about not letting anyone take control of your life. At 76 heading back to Spain this spring for the Camino Primitivo and two volunteer stints. And language learning is really helpful!

    How much planning?

    You will be fine and it will be a fantastic adventure. I would advise NOT carrying cash. ATM’s are plentiful and you can restock your wallet easily. Go for it
