  1. Healing Pilgrim

    looking for partners in August 2014

    Privet Nimrod, I echo the wise words of others: you will always find at least one (or many!) friendly pilgrims to join you. Trust that you will likely never walk alone - unless and until you want to. And, like most pilgrims I met on the way, there will be times when you will want to walk...

    LIVE from the Camino The magic of O'Cebriero

    What an exquisite feeling you must have had seeing that landscape splayed out in front of you, up above the clouds.. wow. Thank you for sharing!!

    Sierra de Atapuerca!

    I never made it to that museum, but I seem to recall that it's on the same stretch of road where two older women come down from their village, meet pilgrims at an intersection, handing out candies and hugs?! :)

    Where to stay in Finisterra?

    Yes indeed! Not a pension, but I'd recommend this place anyway: We were planning to stay at the municipal albergue, but it only opened at 3 (or 4?), so we backtracked uphill, to the place where a group of people (pilgrims and staff) had waved to us on our way into town with this: "Hey, are you...

    LIVE from the Camino About to Start - Cycling the Camino Frances 08/06/14

    May you have an amazing (and safe, to yourself and others) Camino! Don't forget to slow down, put on the brakes and pick some fruit once in awhile ;)

    Keep your head up, keep your heart strong!

    Ditto for me, dear Dee! I loved, smiled at and thoroughly enjoyed the song/video clip - so much emotion.. and fun! Wow, how I'd love to tumble down that hay-sided waterslide.. and not only to see the dumbfounded stares of passing cows ;) Thank you so much for sharing that AND your words. I hope...

    "Pilgrims"asking for money

    Hi Stacie, Sounds like you had a wonderful Camino despite the unexpected pilgrim-panhandlers.. I too ran into a strange sort, much like you describe. It happened right at the top of 'Mount' Sarria, in fact just at the top turn out of the town. This young man was of Russian origin, seemed to be...

    So What Was Your Most Embarrassing Moment?

    Ahhh,,, wonderfully memorable story, sure to regale your descendants and, now, your fellow pilgrims for eons to come. Remember that guy, whose pants fell UP?! (floated to the top rather than sticking to his butt) For the record: not ALL Canadians wear Tilley Dilleys.. some of us don bandanas...

    Pilgrim Playlists

    My favorites were: the sounds of nature, voices in many languages, the occasional silence.. and, when in the mood, a song that I belted out or hummed to myself, like Here Comes the Sun, Hit the Road Jack or whatever else little ditty that suddenly popped up! Playlist or not, may you enjoy the...

    LIVE from the Camino One month left to begin my camino!little scared...

    Hi Angeliki! I agree with David, you have a lovely name ;) Please take this as a piece of encouragement: You simply can't be prepared for everything. Stuff will happen, some fabulous, and other less so... (for example: bed bugs happen, c'est la vie!) But you'll see that, more often than not...

    Food for thought on the Meseta!

    Just see what happens. Or listen to the wheat grow. Then, ponder how many grains grow along the meseta ;)

    Doing the Camino by bus and taxi

    Dear Syl, Sorry for the contrary view, but I'd like to wish you a SLOW and easy recovery.. so that you may enjoy a 'differently-paced' and experienced Camino. I know I did, and it was worth it all the way ;) Apropos Castrojeriz, did you stop by Mau's place, Hospital de Alma? Good to know of, if...

    LIVE from the Camino On the Train to Pamplona

    Hope your first few days of walking have been easy on your feet, heart and soul. Buen camino!

    LIVE from the Camino We're off then!

    Be careful what you wish for, Rambler. If the rain lets up and it gets too steamy on the way, you might start wishing for a downpour ;) If You & Son don't pay too much attention to the ups and downs of the weather cycle, you'll find that you're just grateful for the daily adventures and...

    Wheelchair perigrino being pushed by best friend

    I too applaud all those with disabilities, seen and unseen, who find the courage and initiative to embark on the Camino. I walked from Pamplona to Muxia last fall, and though I tend to shy away from labels, I could qualify myself as disabled; "could qualify," because my impairments are hidden...

    Pamplona during San Fermin

    I started from Pamplona, and although I didn't set out at the height of Fermin Fever, I knew that another option just past the city was Cizur Menor (with a couple of albergues). So you could choose to stop there instead. Also, if you come up empty - or want to experience the city from a local's...

    I am trying to start from Logrono but no train on saturday from Madrid

    If you decide to start walking from Pamplona.. you can! I started from there last fall, no trouble at all ;) And no need to walk back to Roncesvalles either. Just find the yellow arrows in town (or the outskirts) and off you go... buen camino!

    Desperately Seeking Pilgrim.. NICOLE!

    I know it´s a long shot...but I´ve tried many different routes and I´m hoping that my efforts, as far afield as they may be, will bear fruit!

    Desperately Seeking Pilgrim.. NICOLE!

    Hola amigos, If you´ve been wrapping up your Camino on the Frances the past week or two, and have met a young solo pilgrim named NICOLE, would you kindly please let me know... or ask her to get in touch with me (if you have her contact details)? You see... she may still be carrying my...

    Sadly lost my green notebook...anyone seen it?

    Apparently my notebook was FOUND (at the Albaroque Albergue in Samos) a couple of weeks ago and the very helpful hospitalero-owner Juan sent it with a pilgrim to Santiago (at my request). But as of yesterday it´s not yet turned up ;( I´m still in SdC until tomorrow, so if anyone knows a young...
