Hi everybody, as I wrote here https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/forum-meet-up-and-input-please.48358/ I would love to re-start a regular forum meet-up in Santiago. Even when the poll in my original post was slightly more in favour of meeting at a Bar-Café, it really would be more practical for me to do it at my place. If nobody comes, at least I can do things around the house ;-) So here the practical info:
Daily, starting Monday 5th June 2017 from 16:00 -18:00, but no forum meet-up on Saturday 10th June 2017 as I will be away that day!
Location:

I will provide: Tea/Coffee, soft drinks, cookies/biscuits etc.
Costs: None, but you are welcome to bring drink/food to share with others and there might be a discreetly placed basket in a kitchen corner where you can drop a cent or two for the next supply of tea bags ;-)
I will update this thread regularly here with the next upcoming forum meet-ups. Like this ;-)
Up coming forum meet-ups:
5th June 2017 - yes
6th June 2017 - yes
7th June 2017 - yes
8th June 2017 - yes
9th June 2017 - yes
10th June 2017 - NO
11th June 2017 – yes
Lets just see how it goes and I will take it from there. Looking forward to seeing you all & Buen Camino, SY
PS For all of you that are/were concerned about my privacy: When I envisioned living in Santiago, I already had it very clear in my head that I would share part of the house with pilgrims/friends, so nobody is intruding on my privacy ;-) The ground floor is 'open space', the first floor is 'invited only' space and the second floor is 'only my space'. ;-)
... Send me a PM if you have a shopping list of stuff you might want from this side of the pond. If it fits in my checked luggage it comes. Starbucks coffee perhaps, or some other quintessential American food favorite that you might like to have on hand...?
Wanna baseball bat for folks who can't take the hint to move on down the road? Wood or aluminum? LOL
Sarah, you have been SO helpful to me and to everyone else here - Thank you!

As I am not an American, so I have no idea what kind of non-perishable comfort food Americans on the Camino crave - so I leave that up to you ;-) BC SY
I'm a single malt kind of guy.That's easy then. What I hear that Europeans like for comfort food from the US is Jack Daniels or in Rebekah's case Wild Turkey. Just a rumor mind you.
... What are the national demographics of the folks you are hosting so far, in general terms?...
hi syates, I plan to be in sdc on Friday, June 9 in the afternoon. it would be very unfortunate if no one shows after all your kind and generous efforts. i plan to visit if your offer remains open.I am here, waiting for you all! My biggest is that --- nobody turns up ... BC SY

Southern Comfort might also comes handyThat's easy then. What I hear that Europeans like for comfort food from the US is Jack Daniels or in Rebekah's case Wild Turkey. Just a rumor mind you.
@SYates ... PS! Do you need anything from Sweden? (Please don´t ask for a moose, they are so hard to fit in to the backpack.)
It was great meeting you two tooI was fortunate enough to attend the first official meet up in Sybils new residence. Such a lovely, welcoming space and so well located; a 10-minute walk from the Cathedral and a few steps off the Finistere Camino. I was also fortunate enough to meet another active Forum member there. I'll be in town another day before returning to Muxia and intend to be at the meet up tomorrow. The space and Sybil's warmth and generous hospitality is such a gift to us pilgrims. Thank you Sybil.

And it's just around the corner from former meet-up place where you, Laurie and myself met last summerCool beans. See you. Thanks for heading this out.
And look who will be coming today https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/meet-a-moderator.48738/ ;-) BC SY
Isn't everyone here a celebrity?Is this a 'celebrity' meet up and can you promise us more?
Hi there. I made it to Santiago. Hope to call in this afternoon.
Hi Sybil, one of the very nicest and most cordial events of my CF, Finisterre and Muxia experiences was the meet-up at your house in SdC. You deserve so much recognition for hosting and supporting the continuation of this. Such a visit with you and other pilgrims was a great finishing touch to my seven week trip -- it seemed so fitting to sit and chat informally about it all after having just completed it. Again, my sincerest appreciation.Today I had the joy of hosting the meet-up with the most pilgrims so far, 3 in total. Also, as my plans have changed - there will be a forum meet-up tomorrow at the usual time. So, if you are in Santiago, don't be shy and drop by!
Buen camino, SY
Oh my SY. I so wish that I knew that is where you lived as my wife and I spent two nights in the AC Hotel right near you two weeks ago at the end of our SJPDP/SDC/Fin/Muxia Camino as a treat to ourselves. I would have absolutely loved to meet one of the individuals (you) who has in many ways helped to form the excellent forum here we all enjoy. Perhaps next time......... Ed

I like how you think Mike......You will just have to go back Ed!
You bet SY. Next year we are on the Camino Portuguese and we will make certain to drop by and meet you!!!What a pity indeed as the way from your hotel to the old town passes directly by my door! See you next time and Buen Camino, SY
I am in Santiago and will be there around 5 pm today! Bringing my pal from Oz with me. Anyone else?

Will there be a meet up on Monday the 7th of August?
Hi SY,Hi Everybody ;-) So far it seems that August is a nearly "forum member free" month here in Santiago ;-) Therefor I would suggest to make the meet-up at the moment "on demand only". So, if you are in town and want to meet, give me a shout. Buen Camino, SY
Excellent! See you later todayHi Michele!
Officially there isn't one, but I am at home, so feel free to drop by between 16:00 and 18:00 ;-)
Hi Everybody Else!
I am off to walk the Camino Portugues in a few days from Porto, so no forum-meet-up until I am back end of the months. Sorry!
Buen Camino, SY
Enjoy your Camino. What a pity I will miss you when I get to SDC on the 21st!
Wise that you save Ingles to walk shorts stages with me one dayHi Michele!

Buen Camino, SY
What a kind offer! Thanks so much, Sybille. Just a couple of weeks to go before we begin our next Camino in Lisbon followed by the Ingles from El Ferrol. It is our plan to be in Santiago in early November. We will certainly look you up in the hopes of connecting at a meet-up at that time. In the meantime, have a wonderful time in Portugal.
Hello Colleen,
Unfortunately, we'll miss you this time around. We will look forward to seeing you in Barcelona this winter or next spring, whenever you are coming this way! Happy walking.
We plan to arrive in Santiago on October 16 and will be there for two days. Looking forward to joking you for tea. What time??????!Forum Meet-Ups will re-start on Monday 2nd October ;-)
Important Info! Please read first!
How to find my place:
The address is TRAVESIA do Carme de Abeixo, there are two streets with similar names in the neighbourhood. At least one neighbour in those streets, as I discovered today, has had regularly pilgrims ringing her door bell. She was really gracious as I went over a short time ago to apologize, but please make sure you come to the right place. To find my house (and not hers):
Follow the Camino to Finisterre until you see the sign pointing to the albergue Roots&Boots pointing to the left.
Turn right in the little street called TRAVESIA do Carme de Abeixo.
My place is less than 10m down that street at number four on the right side.
- During forum meet-up times the door is open.
- SYates is written on the door bell.
- If you don't see my name on the door bell and the door is closed, you are at the wrong house!
Please help me to maintain good relationships with my neighbours and don't ring/knock at the wrong door ;-)
