    Have you encountered accidents on the Camino?

    I do love your writing, John. I’ve missed seeing those blog posts in my mailbox and you’ve inspired me to go back and read from the beginning. ❤️

    Dealing with a broken ankle

    I broke my ankle a year and a half ago and have yet to do the Camino. Based on my experience with recovery, I’d have to agree with your doctor. Ankle breaks are very painful and complex injuries which take a year or more to heal completely, and usually physiotherapy is necessary. Eighteen months...

    A Step by Step Video of the Entire Walk Of Route Napoleon, From SJPdP to Roncesvalles

    I look forward to watching this series! Alas, I have not been on Camino yet, but this looks like a wonderful way to do it “virtually “. The closest I get at the moment is on my new treadmill, which has the (very cool!) ability to show on my monitor a constant flow of screenshots from anywhere...

    Hello My Wonderful Camino Family

    My heart jumped for joy at seeing your name at the top of your post.... and then I read further - My goodness, you have had a time of it, haven’t you? I’m so grateful that you made it through and are on the healing and recovery side of things. What better time of year to look forward and relish...

    Going separate ways on camino?

    This snippet suggests to me that you tend to take your responsibility to other people very seriously. That’s not a bad thing, but there are times when it’s ok to let people take responsibility for themselves instead. Your ‘friend’ now has another ‘friend’ to help her along regardless of her lack...

    Mike Strange and the Box Run for Cancer

    Just thought I would give a shoutout to a fellow Niagara Falls resident and local hero who is on the Camino right now. Mike Strange is a former Olympian boxer who does a major fundraising tour each year in September to raise funds and awareness for Cancer research. I have just learned that he is...

    Viana to Navarette

    What a wonderful writer you are, John! And, a darn good photographer too. You’ve managed to stoke the fire in my soul to do the Camino up to a fever pitch!

    Should Rock Stacking be Banned?

    Maybe it’s because I’m Canadian, but I don’t really see the harm. Rock stacking in a particular manner here has long been a practice of the Northern Indigenous Peoples if Canada. Known as an “Inukshuk”, they are thought to have been used thousands of years ago as waymarkers and other means to...

    And The Wife Went SPLAT!

    I am surprised to hear that the Napoleon was a no-go in May, so late in the year. Is this normal? We had hoped to do our Camino starting in mid to late April and ending in May to avoid the heat and the worst of the crowds.

    Regrets of a pilgrim

    “But i remember them now when i see the pictures on my screensaver....José from Brasil, Pieter from Poland, Ryan from america, Spencer from south Africa...etc ... Regrets of walking maybe a little longer with someone, or just talk a little bit longer or just forget to ask her/his name...Maybe...

    The Shame of Starting in Sarria

    It was always my impression that the Camino is travelled by people of many different faiths and by people of no faith at all. The rude behaviour of graffiti or the increasing crowds aside, why should it matter if one is Catholic, Protestant, or Pagan? The journey is one of the spirit, no?
