    Can I put someone else's name on my compostela?

    Something tells me that: a) no matter where your grandson's name is on the document, you've created quite a unique keepsake for him to remember you by and b) you've recruited another Camino addict :P Congrats!

    The City of Culture...wow!

    Sorry, rookie mistake- I should have checked the forum archives first. Both Ivar and Falcon have posted about this previously, although their posts didn't get many replies. My impression from my internet research is that two of the six buildings are completed but that the rest will be delayed...

    The City of Culture...wow!

    I was flipping through Ivar and JohnnieWalker's photos of their recent stroll through SDC (see other thread) but was struck on the last photo of the alien space ship rising off the top of a nearby hill. Some internet sleuthing revealed it was not a spaceship but a new culture center/building...

    Pilgrim Numbers - more records broken

    Do you know if any reliable statistics exist for other times in history (say prior to 1980 or so)? Might it be fair to say that we are witnessing/participating in the absolute height of the Camino in its 900 year (give or take) history? (and trending even higher, as you've shown).

    The botafumeiro in the (science) news

    For some reason the author of this article thought of the botafumeiro to illustrate folding mechanics: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/20 ... 085315.htm

    Closest to the Pope contest

    When the Pope came to Santiago de Compostela today, I got within 7909 kilometers of him- did anyone else do better? :?:

    What are your favorite spots from Leon?

    I particularly liked the Basilica de San Isidoro, next door to the cathedral. When I walked in the late '80's the refugio was in the basement of this classic Romanesque building.

    Star Wars comes to town...

    Please, please, please... post here any Storm Trooper pictures along the Camino Frances! And we need a word to describe when bizarre and fanatical intersects with pious and devoted.

    Mark Knopfler in Santiago in July

    So during 2010, will we refer to the Camino as "The Walk of Life?" :roll:

    Ivar's new adventure

    Ivar, I just realized it was exactly one year ago today you wrote of your new business proposal on the Forum. I'm curious (and bet others are too), how's it going? Is it what you expected? Are you making money and keeping your head above water? I certainly don't mean to pry but you've got a lot...

    Meeting Ivar

    Since there's no more kissing the statue of St. James, let's start a tradition of kissing Ivar! :P

    Ivar's new adventure

    Best wishes on your new business. You've run the Spanish bureaucracy gauntlet- now I'm sure you're prepared for anything.

When Franco...
