  1. Missing Mike

    On the Camino did you ever say?

    So many people spend so much of their lives telling themselves-- I'm not good enough. I'm not worthy enough. I'm not lovable. I'm not whole or complete just as I am. We all do it until we don't. Hopefully sooner then later; but life is a journey. Many, many years ago I believed all of this...

    On the Camino did you ever say?

    It has been wonderful to read every one of your comments! Here are some of my responses. The answer to why I asked the questions is at the end, if you want to jump to it. GreatDane—No but I did use some choice words cursing the Roman Roads! I used some choice words at the big dogs that woke...

    On the Camino did you ever say?

    When you actually walked/hiked the Camino (not about the past), did you ever once say to yourself? I'm not good enough. I'm not worthy enough. I'm not lovable. I'm not whole or complete just as I am. Why? Just asking?

    Post Camino Blues?

    God how I wished I had known this before I left Santiago!! I mainly walked alone grieving the loss of my son, staying in private rooms to be able to process all that I needed to. At the end I really found no one to share my experience with, much less speak english. I would have so loved this...

    Bringing Meds from US in backpack

    I will have a 50 day supply of my meds in my racksack. Will they be safe there if I leave my racksack on my bunk or do I need to be sure and take them with me like my passport everywhere I go? Please advise.

    Where to stay in SJPP

    Ok, so Beilari is already booked so now where? Reservation for April 28 leave April 29th. I would prefer dinner and breakfast provided since I will need to catch up on sleep and food from the previous busy day's travel. Anyone stayed at Maison Kaserna at 43, R. d'Espagne? Any ideas?

    Keeping Backpack etc. safe

    I am used to traveling to hostels in Europe where each bunk had a place or locker to keep your stuff safe (you provide the lock). I traveled alone and never had any problems. How does that work on the Camino? I would like to be able to put my pack down somewhere safe and maybe check out the...
