Hello to all of you new, old, and thinking-about-it pilgrims! I just came across this great site. Back in the early 1990s I researched the rise of the Camino for my PhD dissertation and published my work in the book 'Pilgrim Stories. On and Off the Road to Santiago' (UC Press, 1998). Since that time my life shifted quite a bit. I moved to Spain and I now have three children. My partner and I met on the Camino back in 1994. About eight years ago, I started a walking tours company called On Foot In Spain (http://www.onfootinspain.com) and we lead people along the Camino (and other places).
I am developing ideas for another book. One topic that always intrigued me from Pilgrim Stories was what happens after the yellow arrows are no longer there (ie, you go home). In Pilgrim Stories I did follow-up with pilgrims but I would like to now take a further look since another 10 years have passed. Yikes! How time flies.
I also would like to collect Camino synchronicity stories. If you have had any personal synchronicity story that you would like to share I would be very much interested in hearing it.
Buen Camino to all of you! I believe very firmly that one of the most important messages that can be garnered from the Camino is one of tolerance! As the 12th century quote from Roncesvalles indicates all pilgrims are welcome no matter who they are.
