My plans to walk the Camino in June 2020 with my grandson were derailed by "The Bug." If there is even the remotest possibility of hitting the trail in June 2021 we'll be there hitting the trail.
I just tried for the first time to post a photo and totally messed it up. Too bad, it was accompanied by such a clever missive. Will try again later, I hope.
So, here we were on April 30, my two youngest progeny, son-in-law and I at the beginning of a six day walk from Sarria to Santiago. Yes, we booked with a tour company. Yes, we had luggage transferred and carried only day packs. Yes, we had guaranteed rooms waiting at the end of each day.

I want to make the purchase in Santiago. Any suggestions as to where? Is there a second hand store where such items are sold or is new the only option? Thanks in advance.

I am neither religious, nor spiritual as far as I can tell. Having been raised Catholic and schooled for a time under the heavy hands of some overly enthusiastic nuns, the Church and I have gone our separate ways. I believe that religion is a personal issue and everyone has his/her right to...
Gunnar,
This is truly a work of art. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Does the completed set include the "People I met" segment, and most importantly, how does one purchase this gem?

Okay,
I pulled the trigger and booked my flight to Madrid. Gonna train it to Pamplona and take off from where I left off last year. Lighter pack and slower pace. Hope to get at least to Burgos in eleven days or so.
Can/will anyone recommend a good, not too expensive hotel or hostal near the...
Hola,
I'm going to continue my Camino in Septemer 2012, from about the 5th until about the 20th. My passport expires in April 2013. Does Spain require a certain number of months remaining to admit a traveller?
Thanks,
Tio

Wow! Just finished watching part 6. Erik should be (and probably is) in show business. Waiting anxiously for the next installment.

Gunnar,
Might we expect to see this epic available on DVD? I believe there is a market for it here. Thanks again and keep the episodes coming.

A few months back the airfare from Denver to Madrid for September was about $1600 (per Kayak). Today it's $806. Oh yeah! Gonna hit the Camino come this late summer.
Okay guys,
My late mum-in-law (originally from Darwen) set me straight about "bum" and "fanny" years ago. Actually what she did was tell my wife, "Talk to your husband." However, I've never heard "bonking" used in any other way other than that explained by Doug. Now "boinking," that's a whole...
So I'm getting ready now. I walked six miles yesterday, mostly on concrete. Hurts like mad today. I have been hitting the treadmill at the gym, absolutely no comparison. I don't want to repeat the mistakes of last September so I'll suck up the pain and get it done. The plan is to hike with a...
