    Stamps- missing a few days

    As @Robo said, it's not too difficult, but you may need to ask for stamps on the Invierno. They are not always offered automatically. Also keep a watch in smaller villages for locals offering 'buen camino' stations.. with an available stamp on a window ledge, 'honesty' table or doorway. There's...

    Death of Felisa’s daughter, María

    Thank you @sillydoll for sharing your story. It brought tears to my eyes... so special. I'm sorry for your loss and for the family's loss. I hope and trust that Felisa and Maria gained as much from their camino ministering as they gave to everyone else. RIP

    Mountain splendor from Ponferrada or El Acebo

    Oh my, I've just whiled away a couple of hours with you guys on this stream and just when I was thinking I might have finished with Spain and caminos, I find myself dreaming again... Well, having done the magical Invierno last month, in June, a few weeks ago really, might also have contributed...

    If you haven't heard about the film/book "I'll Push You"..

    Well that brought a tear to my eye. Amazing perseverance. Amazing friends. Amazing camino community.

    Billy Franks

    So sorry for your loss, Billi. I hope that you will walk a camino as it will surely bring you closer to your father, sharing something that he loved. I was on the VdlP in June, so did not meet him but hopefully, more pilgrims who shared the way with him will make contact. All the best. Carole

    Returning to the "real life"

    KSM, so nice to discover this stream only now, to read your story and other's input. All really interesting, valid and worthwhile. Post-camino life is a topic that is important to most of us. It's good as well, to read your response of 12 months later. You have made significant changes. Well...

    Poetry for the Camino

    I don't know why this stream reappeared with todays postings, must be 'the camino providing'. Whatever and why ever, it's wonderful. I wrote haiku and tanka as I walk the camino, and now we have all these poems you have all shared. In 2011 on the Camino del Sur, in Zalamea La Real, a friendly...

    Torn...

    This is a lovely stream and so full of empathy and understanding. You are all wonderful people. No wonder we love it so... Buen camino TammyLynn. Yet another camino addict, Carole.

    Does anyone else KEEP walking after the camino?

    Well said Laurie. So right now, I'm putting aside this addictive Forum and going for a walk.. . .

    John Lennon's 'Imagine' along the Camino way.

    Just listening to Imagine's lyrics . . . it could almost have been written for the camino. Imagining a world with no possessions (well, not many), easy if you try, people from many countries living together, like minded, sharing. I like to think we pilgrims on the Way to Santiago are doing our...

    Women and the need to relieve oneself along the trail

    Yes, this can be one of the trials of the camino. On the less travelled routes which I walk, there certainly aren't towns and bars often enough, and some of us don't have half an hour's warning, especially us slightly older pilgrims. Nor does all the sweating etc cut down on frequency of...

    May Special - Parador Hotel Santo Domingo de la Calzada

    Yes, do it Laurie, stay in the Parador. You deserve those sheets! :roll:

    Aarn Backpack and training advice

    Aarn bodypacks are wonderful. Thoroughly recommend. For our 5th camino last year, the VdlP, Ian and I bought Liquid Agility packs. Was a tight squeeze for me with just 26ltr plus small, compact front balance pockets (6ltr) and medium Sport pockets (12ltr) for him. but we downsized and pruned...

    The first few steps.

    Yes, it would be good to mark the beginning of your camino, before you take the first step to have a celebratory ritual..... but like most, we are usually stressed and tired from the preparations and jet lag... and fear of the unknown... and how our legs will perform... and whether we'll get...

    Leaving Sept 10th and have some questions

    Ah well..... just come into this stream....... but have to have a say about one (or two) of my pet grouches. I'm with you, Joe, by the window, which IMHO should always be open in an albergue (unless there's a howling gale and it's minus15*). As well as the stuffy stale air in dorms, there are...
