    Meals in Roncesvalles, worth it?

    Ahhhh! This market gave me one of my best early camino / first camino experiences. As crazy as it sounds it was his music choice. ( and I found the owner ( assumed) to be delightful in conversation… The music? Handels Messiah , All We Like Sheep… My son as a toddler use to sing this and his...

    Albergue Parroquial San Juan Bautista in Granon- a question

    In Burgos we were asked this right before town at the parochial aubergue. I have to say in my several thousand kilometers of camino I think this was the only time, but don’t quote me. I might have been asked thinking it was chit chat, and didn’t notice…;)

    Where and how I got lost on the Valcarlos route

    To figure out what you did wrong is soooo fulfilling. In 2016 with Le Puy under belt five of my six kiddos and I took the Pyrenees route from Saint Jean Pied de Port north to complete the Norte. We were rather confident, or rather just not concerned, we started late and had a paper in hand if...

    Church at Eunate

    Even if closed I’d suggest to make the detour, there’s just something very special about being there!

    Polling Fellow Walkers - Start in SJPP or Pamplona?

    While I’m not there, In 2012 for my first Camino I said constantly “ the 60 year olds are the cool kids on the Camino”. I repeat it each year! In my opinion they are the strongest in what it takes to tackle a camino!

    Camino dinner memories- found in the US

    I had a dinner on the Camino with another forum member at our table... That night a wooden box-like structure was passed around the table, and it held a wine bottle, we all ooohed and ahhed over it, I would post the images but it has someone else in it and not certain that's cool... So a few...

    Rescue on the Napoleon route?

    if volunteers don’t want to do it they shouldn’t volunteer, sorry if that sounds snippy not my purpose. But that’s obvious to me. No one deserves the fear of death, extreme cold etc… no one

    Rescue on the Napoleon route?

    my point is I’ve done many things in my life not advised and not allowed… I’ve lived to tell thankfully. Most of us make mistakes, or think we can do something that it ends up we can’t. That’s my point. Edited to say that’s one of several of my points. I’m not one who thinks “ people deserve it”...

    Rescue on the Napoleon route?

    There are cost associated to all kinds of things, step into the Emergency room for a hang mail, a wedding ring too tight, exposure to what you think was an STD, your daughter shoving a bead up her nose… or true CPR being done on your body to cover peoples butts when you’ve long been gone… the...

    Rescue on the Napoleon route?

    totally agree! I doubt these rescuers were in danger, the drama in this thread is just so over the top and so surprisingly mean. *** I edited my post to say “ I doubt”, so if quoted without those words it is fair game, and very reasonable. However I should have placed a doubt to my message...

    Rescue on the Napoleon route?

    Glad I have not been fined for every mistake I’ve ever made! So glad this pilgrim is safe and thankful for those who go into Front Line work. The times Ive been around crazy patients or people who did really stupid things I’ve been thankful they are OK and usually have a story to tell that my...
