For example, I quietly slip out of my bed, make coffee and eat my first breakfast (banana) in the complete dark on my tiptoes desperately trying to be completely silent.
My friends avoid me. All I talk about is my Camino. They are so tired of itGreetings,
My apologies to the Moderators if this a duplicate thread…searching through >60,000 questions isn’t an exact science….
please modify as needed.
I have noticed since my Camino experiences (6X), I have developed some new routines, habits and perspective. For example, I quietly slip out of my bed, make coffee and eat my first breakfast (banana) in the complete dark on my tiptoes desperately trying to be completely silent. This is a learned behavior from my pre-dawn routine on the Camino. I have many others (all good), but before I ramble too much; I would like to learned about yours.
Thanks

Should have taken your dog on the Camino!When I first encountered Camino I was young, fit and attractive. Now I am old, grumpy and even my dog avoids me. I blame Camino
Me to. They expect a short reply when asking a question about my camino. My reply is never short.My friends avoid me. All I talk about is my Camino. They are so tired of it
I lost 25 pounds and kept 20 off. Oh, and now I dream of walking another camino.Greetings,

I turned 65 to day and I am now retired. This part of my life I planned on travelling to parts of the world I have never seen before. But since finishing my Camino Francés in June I am obsessed with doing another Camino. Already in my mind I want to do the Portuguese route and than the Norte or Frances again. I hope this obsession doesn't stop me from seeing other parts of Europe or the world. I too now have the tunnel vision focused only on the Caminos. But at this point in my life I always smile when I think about doing another Camino and that's all that counts.My main change is that I think about the Camino every day and have been drawn to this forum as it has given me something "extra" to fill some time in retirement, and I enjoy planning the next one. Being preoccupied though isn't necessarily a good thing. Also I have met some great people and occasionally see them beyond our virtual chats. I too, talk about the Camino to anyone who who asks about it. I do stop if I notice their eyes have glazed over.
Unfortunately I do not think I have become a better person overall. In fact I sometimes think my camino "tunnel vision" has stunted my growth in other areas.
Sage Bambino. Fantastic!After returning from the Camino, I find that, every morning, I'm craving a cafe con leche. So, I've decided to buy a fancy espresso/frothing machine. There are many on the market, so I'm wondering if any of you have one that you would particularly recommend. A lot of them require pods, but I want to use fresh coffee. I appreciate any info that's out there.
Buy her a pair, too.I use silicon ear plugs because my wife snores.
Many of us have been through that. After a while you can just see it in their faces: oh no another camino lecture.My friends avoid me. All I talk about is my Camino. They are so tired of it
