    Boston Bombings

    Boston will be breathing easier this morning though it is worrying that these brothers appeared not to have been able to intergrate into mainstream society. Candace the explosion/fire has been major news here in the UK and we were sorry to hear about it.

    Which Football team

    My eldest (disowned) son is a liverpool supporter and has been to Anfield. He is also a Camino pilgrim and I bought the shirt that Al talks about. It says in English, You'll never walk alone and the Spanish "No solo". I think the Spanish really should translate, Never Walk Alone, but its a...

    Which Football team

    Re: Which Soccer team 2004. In a bar in Portomarin drinking coffee, watching world cup. England 1-0 up against France with less than minutes to go. France win the game. I paid coins for the exact amount I owed and the bar man pushed some of it back towards me. I said Gracias and kept it. The...

    Which Football team

    Re: Which Soccer team Well yeah but I was in the ground in Wembley for the United v Barcelona final in 2011. I would rather have been in Spain.

    Which Football team

    Re: Which Soccer team I combined my November 2012 Camino with going to see Braga at their home ground. A wonderful night that had it all. It was the coldest I have ever been at a football ground and they turned their coffee making facilities off because they could not cope with the number of...

    Camino Romance

    I met a couple in November 2012 who met on the Camino. He has now joined her in Canada from his native Australia, and we keep in contact via Facebook. I think it is going to work. I have met pilgrims who met someone on the Camino, they moved in together and it didn't work out, but that is the...

    Which Football team

    Re: Which Soccer team I just tell everyone I hold a season ticket at Manchester United and that Barcelona ruin my life. That goes down real well. :evil:

    Which Football team

    Re: Which Soccer team Thanks Tyrrek, I'll see if they are playing in Pamplona. The sports hall at Seguiro, Camino Inglés, is next to a football ground and the crowd kept me awake. I was just too physically tired to roll out of bed and go to the match. It sounded a good game. edited. they play...

    Walking with a teen?

    I took my 21 year old son who was also playing a lot of sport but worried about his fitness for walking. Right. I had to weigh him down by putting more into his rucksack because I could not keep up with him, even though he had a dodgy knee. Mentally his biggest problem was his slower moving...

    Walkers and Pilgrims i need your help.

    Re: WALKER and PILGRIMS i need your help. Jessica, dont get too disheartened but think about what has been said. Please also be aware that a similar questionairre was posted here not so long ago.

    Walkers and Pilgrims i need your help.

    Re: WALKER and PILGRIMS i need your help. Hi Jessica. I've had a quick look. I think making city and occupation compulsory may be useful to you but is not acceptable to some. At the moment I would not fill in your form because I am not prepared to answer those questions, though, of course, I...

    Is "The Camino a Victim of It's Own Success"?

    One good thing about the rise in numbers is that the expansion of bars, accomodation and infrastructure probably means that people, who perhaps could not have walked in the past, can now do so. There are more places to rest, I find I do not have to carry so much food and water because it is not...

    Is "The Camino a Victim of It's Own Success"?

    Dear Happy Heretic, Don't forget the Brazilians following the book by Paul C... you know who I mean. I've read it but can't remember his surname. If you want an outdoor, walking holiday with a well defined trail, a good infrastructure, plenty of potential help, a contrast of scenery, weather...

    Is "The Camino a Victim of It's Own Success"?

    there are a number of villages along the Camino, O Cebreiro surely being one, which would be dead by now without the Camino. I think a more interesting question is, are there more walkers than pilgrims along the route? I do not count the issuing of Compostella's as an answer. By now most people...

    Are we oldest couple? Combined ages 155 years!

    Wonderful. In 2009 I met an 82 year old Italian lady who walked SJPP to SdC and was now on the way to Finisterre/Muxia. She'd never done anything like this before in her life and was now determined to walk to Rome from her home. I've been on the Camino a total of 132 days over 15 years and...

    aliens and others

    Annie, I do not believe we are alone or that aliens are in any way is a contradiction of my faith. I have yet to believe that we have proof that the light barrier can be broken. However on the basis of Occum's Razor I could not flatly disbelieve you. I would simply like to rule out all...

    aliens and others

    Annie, this is a serious question. Would ingestting uranium cause a powerful hallucination? I heard the audible voice of God at Roncesvalles at the end of my 1998 Camino which is why I try not to be rude about other people's experiences which are outside of our current understanding of the...

    Camino Negatives

    Used one in Paris France just to see if it was different from the UK. Nope. Ditto León and Braga Portugal. I rarely eat there - their food is not good for diabetics IMHO - but I put the above 3 down to Market Research. People here are interested/despairing/delighted of the spread of the McD...

    aliens and others

    No. Shrieley McLaine's book is regarded by many on this forum as not being the worth the paper its printed on. I would treat any replies to this question as a potential wind up. :lol:
