    Bucket List - What we must plan to not miss on the Way?

    I too abandoned all plans except for music. I lived in the present taking in the sights, sounds, tastes, touches and smells of the Camino. We had many "Camino" moments totally unexpected and things that could never be planned for. So good to let these special moments unfold. Buen Camino!

    Journaling on the Camino

    Hi all! Our journey begins in 3 days! We're very excited! My dear sister gave me a beautiful albeit heavy journal and suggestions as to what to write as my birthday gift. What a beautiful gift! Today I felt curious about what others take and what others find useful to write. Please share!

    3 weeks post Camino, still at loose ends

    Thanks for this. This post made me think of other situations where I've felt similarly bereft. For me too it is usually involving being out in nature. I think too planning more walks in your own community after and continuing the training may help. I love that your daughter and you will do...

    3 weeks post Camino, still at loose ends

    My daughter has been following people who do the Iditarod dogsled race in Alaska USA. They have similar difficulties. This one chap finds help processing by giving talks in schools.

    My first-time Camino: a review of the good, the bad, and the cows!

    I'm going in Mid October and I have started training. Unfortunately we are still in winter road conditions so can't wear my hiking boots yet just winter boots. Thanks for writing. I particularly was interested in the smells. I have a buff so I'll put it to good use. I am also wearing my pack...
