    Some of my biggest advice for newbies

    The Meseta is a scary thing for people to take on today... It demands that you go to a place so far inside yourself that you may not enjoy what you find. Take a look at our culture... We have so many smaller good things in our lives (cell phones, tv, computers etc...) that we can forget that...

    Hat or No Hat? That is the question!

    When I hiked the Camino Frances I saw a lot of Buffs... Men an women alike! I was tempted to buy one over there but didn't because I already had a bandanna. They seem to be good for any weather condition... If its hot you wet it and put it around your neck, if it's cold you put it on your...

    Finding somewhere to sleep

    Annie, I do not see any judgment being made in my last msg and if it came out that way it is not intended to be. I was simply stating the Camino is becoming more and more secularized as is culture today. With all the movie/books/blogs etc... It is bound to happen. I mean, BBC is even doing a...

    Finding somewhere to sleep

    I feel the added distractions and temptations on the Camino show what the times are like. We live in a society (at least from my perspective) that encourages the bare minimum of ourselves. It is also a society that is trying to push away God from our lives. The Camino is just showing what...

    Help with my camino.

    Re: Re: Help with my camino. I agree. I believe you have started your Camino once you leave your house. I will be going on retreat to prepare spiritually for mine a few days before and even though I still will be in the States, I consider myself to have begun my journey already. That being...
