Hi Scruffy - while I appreciate the whole "senior" perspective, I do know that we are a lot closer in age though I do agree with the whole beer thing. That being said, you and i met on the Camino Portuguese, just after the bridge coming into Spain. For some reason, I tend to remember those...
I have to confess that I am still getting the hang of this whole posting thing :)
While this is not a bad picture and if taken in context with the title of the thread, if kind of fits. However that was not my intent.
It is a common theme with many life style platforms about taking yourself...
Most of us that have done more than one Camino have seen the route of the Camino Frances change in a relatively short period of time.
Some of this has been because of modern development through highway expansion, etc, while other changes are through commercial opportunism, i.e. bringing the...
Great news! Thanks for that!
I am leaving from Seville on April 1st, which those of you that have read my posts, will seem appropriate :)
Something more to look forward to!

That aside, isn't it good how many of the bars on the Camino will serve you your beer in frozen glasses/mugs straight from the freezer!
Wow! Amazing pictures!
I have to confess that when I started the "thread" it was to subtly turn our attention to what is one of the most amazing aspects of the Camino that seems to resonate with all of us despite our religious/philosophical perspective.
In this regard, I thought that by...
Ever wonder who paints all those ubiquitous yellow arrows? All photographic evidence to the contrary, it isn't me.
Despite my shameless self promotion in this regard, here is a picture of the gentleman who generously gives his time so that the rest of us may find our way.
I asked him why he...
I have been itching to tell this story so here it is!
In April, 2015 I was approaching Leon on the Camino Francis for the 3rd time. As it turned out, I was with my brother in law but he was a day behind me, so I decided to spend an extra day in Leon in order for him to catch up.
I had heard a...
