    Problems convincing youth to go on a Camino...any experience?

    Kids and their phones are a problem in many aspects of our lives. Ask any teacher what phones do to their day. Parents have relinquished much control of their children to cell phones. The only way to solve today's problems with cell phones is for parents to take charge. The same is true of...

    For coffee addicts that like to walk early

    Not having something hot to drink before starting out at 6:00 a.m. was the hardest part of my '16 trip. In '17, I purchased a small, 12 oz, hot/cold thermos. I filled it each evening with coffee, Americana. It stayed warm enough for me to enjoy it the following morning.

    Cash or credit in times of Covid

    O Cebreiro not O'Cebreiro

    When you Google, oce. . . O'C comes up. Brierley also spells it with an apostrophe. What is the reliable source for spelling it another way? I will check my photo book to see how the sign for the entrance to town has it.

    O Cebreiro not O'Cebreiro

    Brierley's books spell it O'Cebreiro and not as you have it. It is also pronounced oh-thay-bray-air-o. And when googling your spelling, the spelling always comes up as Brierley has it.

    Happiness and Pilgrimage

    I loved this article. It speaks to much of what my husband and I have found to be true, my husband now on his 5th Camino and I have done four. The overcoming of the "interior shouting" is what we call the "Camino Mind." The walk does indeed become meditative. And, yes, we develop a greater...

    Camino Frances

    My husband walked from SJPP to R yesterday, his third time. He said there is now an alternate route through the woods and down the mountain. He said it was very scenic and easier.
