    Your one picture that captures how you feel about being on the Camino!

    Oh yes, we had some very spooky early morning walks there in late August 2015!

    The Candle Lady on the Camino Frances

    Thank you for sharing that. The warm memories of family who have passed and the love for your wife. Lovely.

    We are grateful. Again!

    Oh goodness, what a start to your Camino! Best wishes for continued healing and no further "incidents."

    Zubiri Pilgrim Meal disappointment (putting it mildly)

    You got jam????

    Camino not for me?

    Wonderful advice!

    Rest time during Stage

    Someone far brighter than I commented that it is important to let one's toes out every so often so that they can see where they are. I quite like that advice and used it in conjunction with a suggestion from a camino friend on our first trek, who told us that once she began changing her socks...

    A Million Steps

    Friday! Well you must be at that pre-travel point where your mind is already half way there and you are of no use to anyone. Buen Camino!

    The albergue near a brothel?

    Well of course that is exactly what I looked like as I trudged along in the August heat (and the August wind and rain).

    Non-thinking Pilgrims taking Short-cut!

    Great post. I was also bothered by the number of people who felt that it was okay to help themselves to any fruit/veg/grapes growing alongside the Camino in what were clearly gardens, vineyards, or private property. Such a sense of entitlement! I can't imagine trotting by someone's yard at...

    Two pilgrims lost and found in SJPP-Roncesvalles

    I sheepishly admit to a lot of laughter as I read through this. I agree with the concept that it is in fact possible to get lost in any conditions. The issue here is two people who need to take some personal responsibility for their actions. There is no shortage of information available about...

    LIVE from the Camino Rain, fog, mud ... and a wonderful Camino thus far

    I love that you maintained a sense of humour about it! In my opinion it is one of the essential items to pack for a successful camino. Orisson truly is a wonderful place to meet people and share the start of your endeavour. Wishing you a Camino filled with just enough misdirection to keep...

    Muxia or Finisterre?

    Oh yes to Bella Muxia! We stayed in a private room but took advantage of the communal kitchen to make lunch, then treated ourselves to dinner at the restaurant you mention.

    Muxia or Finisterre?

    Hello and best wishes for your upcoming travels! We walked from Burgos to Santiago in August and then walked on to Finisterre followed by Muxia. If I had to choose between the two Muxia would come out on top. To be honest the lighthouse at Finisterre was not the experience we had hoped but...

    You know it's too heavy, but you pack it anyway

    I need orthotics in my hiking boots, and even my spare shoes need to have decent support, but my oversized feet don't allow for many options. Hence a big hefty pair of Birkenstock sandals. They take up a lot of space and they are rather heavy but I can't imagine how bad my feet and legs would...

    LIVE from the Camino Camino Ditch Pigs Cleanup: 2015!

    Thank you all for both an entertaining read, and all of your hard work picking up pilgrim rubble. Most unfortunate that it is even necessary!

    Camino death - Monday, 5 Oct

    My May I add my condolences to those already expressed. I can only imagine the heartache that you and your family are experiencing. May there be comfort in your memories of John. Although the Camino is where his life ended, he was blessed to be sharing a dream with someone he loved.

    Returning to the "real life"

    Thanks Tania, we are sitting in the Toronto airport right now awaiting our next flight. We walked St. Jean to Burgos two years ago, and I agree with your advice. Having said that, it's hard to stop the mind from working overtime pre Camino! Looking forward to getting boots on the ground and...
