    Prayer books

    Another thought, if you regularly pray the liturgy of the hours, you might consider bringing your breviery. Yes, it is extra weight, but if you sit at a table or a bench and pray morning or evening prayer, you might be surprised at the number of seminarians, religious, deacon, or priests who...

    Prayer books

    At risk of returning to the original post, I would add in the app iBreviary as highly useful. Not only can you get the parts of the mass, the schedule of readings, the liturgy of the hours, and a plethora of regular Catholic prayers, you can also get them in Spanish which will help you to follow...

    Still starting my Camino

    Just remember you can't wild camp in Spain . . . :eek:

    Thinking

    @Kiwi-family, I saw this thread pop up on my notices, and I couldn't help but remember your earlier comment on the risks and loose threads of the blanket and the Camino, almost as if each was a metaphor for the other, and both a metaphor for life. I hope and pray your blanket has come together...

    Don't Believe Everything Cast Into Stone

    It was psychology majors messing with pilgrim OCD.

    Thinking

    Indeed! And a beautiful blanket, no matter how risky.

    Easier just to use the Cathedral credencial where all the sellos are on one side and can be traditionally framed and left on the wall. To almost everyone who sees them, the framed credencial with all the sellos is far more impressive and captivating than the compostella certificate.

    Things you enjoy that you can leave them at home

    Actually, we have been among you for centuries. Once you understand the fluid nature of time, how we do this makes perfect sense. #longliveskynet

    Things you enjoy that you can leave them at home

    I have implants in my cerebral cortex. Pricey, but worth every penny to see sound and hear color.

    Things you enjoy that you can leave them at home

    But you can ship them ahead to Ivar's so you can explore Santiago in proper attire, which for Camino is jacket and cufflinks over convertible, zip off hiking pants and trail runners.

    Things you enjoy that you can leave them at home

    I am happy not to take a tent, sleeping pad, water filter, water bladder, or alcohol stove.

    It's the whole enchilada . . .

    Thankfully your view of motivation ("cheap charlie") is probably not the core motivation of most people getting a [donation optional] credencial from APOC. They do good work, and if their approach to "free" credencials proves a liability to their work, I'm sure they'll change it. Now, if they...

    Ditto on having Camino-experienced and knowledgeable staff at every REI I've entered in the Denver area. Ditto on the use of trail runners (Brooks and ON) lasting well past 500 miles. I've seen similar everywhere on every trail so far. They are NOT the exception.

    Agreed, except inside the 100 km mark, where they aren't easily found, although you can get "extensions" that can be taped onto the end. My only point was that the APOC (the one I started with on my first camino) only has four panes available on the one side, which barely got me to Estella...

    I'm looking at my wall with credencials from four different caminos. They all have sellos on one side and maps, etc. on the back side. For instance, look at those issued by the Cathedral (currently and in the past). It may be less efficient, but it is certainly accommodating of a pilgrim's...

    Do the APOC credencials still take sellos on both sides? The paper was excellent, but since I frame and hang my credencials, hiding half the sellos isn't viable.

    I bet Canadians LOVE being associated with Americans on the camino! Edit: Credencials issued by the Canadian Company of Pilgrims.

    The Crux of the Camino

    If one were to ride a bike or a horse or a donkey or a lama into Santiago, he could still receive the compostela. But what if he rides a Lear jet for 100K AUD?

    A 'One Word' Why?

    Is that coming down from O Cebreiro? I have a number of shots at dawn that look very similar, except higher cloud base (almost like standing on a bluff overlooking a fog-shrouded bay).
