    Walking the Camino Frances on stilts

    Come on now. Nothing has really changed. It’s the same circus just a few different clowns.

    Coping with change after Sarria - wisdom needed please

    Wow! Lots of replies. Here's my 2 cents. "Get used to different." If you're not familiar with this phrase or it's source, check out the online series "The Chosen." It is free and you can watch it via an app on your device. Will you like it? I don't know but I can tell you it has had over...

    One Day or Two? Walking the Camino from St Jean to Roncesvalles at 72

    I see camaraderie is on your list. Hold that thought! I read through all of the responses and I think only one of them mentioned meeting pilgrims at the evening meal in Orisson. I could hardly believe it. For me personally the Camino is about meeting the pilgrims from all over the world...

    Bakery in Los Arcos ...Warning.

    Bypassing Sarria to get to Santiago

    You don’t have to worry about it. The children go back to school in September and they are the major reason that the last 100 km are so crowded. Groups of children are escorted from Sarria to Santiago. Take this opportunity while you have it. This is an opportunity of a lifetime! The numbers on...

    Dangerous dog before Triacastela

    I read all of the replies, except for the one that was..uhh...large and no one mentioned what NOT to do. From my experience with dogs as a paperboy in the U.S., on the Camino, and from volunteering at the Pilgrim Office and speaking with Pilgrims who had been bitten, my advice is DO NOT RUN...
