At the time we thought this took the camino cute bridge cake. Not as old as Rick's though - nor will it last a fraction as long. Vasco 2019.I've got a cutie to add for the bridge photo theme. I've submitted it before and I was able find it with the forum search engine so, to save server storage, I give the photo's link.

The locals turned Napoleon back at that bridge, didn't they?
I am looking forward to visiting this legendary place in April!I have just posted this on another thread, so I thought I would pop it here as it is convenient. Cafe Avelinas, Camino Inglese, Sept. 2018. I am sure people know of this cafe, as it rightly famous for the warmth of its welcome.

Was the bridge into Spain closed that day?
A wise move, according to the Spaniards I walked with from there to Puente la Reina!Nope. Then again I started in Roncesvalles...
It was open.Was the bridge into Spain closed that day?
I don't know. After sending one kid off to war/ground combat twice and the other kid off to foreign lands with the possibility of combat, I'm not interested in learning anything more about war.The locals turned Napoleon back at that bridge, didn't they?
I took the same picture but I don't have it; it was one that didn't survive the SD card accident. I do have a lousy shot of that bridge though from the little bridge on the other side. That bridge is where my affection lies anyway; we were camped near it at the municipal campground and we used it more than the other two. I get a kick out of seeing it in The Way. Good thinking on Estevez's part. He was able to keep those pesky pilgrims out of his way while filming.We've all got this one, haven't we?
Would you like me to send you the original? Perhaps we can all fill in the blanks of your extinct SD card!I took the same picture but I don't have it; it was one that didn't survive the SD card accident.

Thanks for the thought but I'm pretty good at internet searching and I view others' posted pictures regularly and know how to download them. That's one reason why it only took a minute for me to recover once I noticed the disaster. That and the fact that I haven't seen any of my thousands of slides in decades.Would you like me to send you the original? Perhaps we can all fill in the blanks of your extinct SD card!
Amazing how many people have favorite trees in Spain isn't it?My favorite tree was viewed within an enchanted wood in early morning;
Oporto, Summer 2013.
The day I lost my hat. The wind on the far side of the amazing bridge stole it from me.
Rick,For today's photo I randomly got a day from my Catalan camino and my eye was caught by the colors here. I took the photo to show off some mundane Spanish life that was different from what we experience at home.

The diabolical Mickey Mouse.
I have always hoped they did not spend too much money on that logo.
On the theme of wondering how many pilgrims have stopped here...
There is a lovely little Ermita on the way out of Rabé; when I stay there I like to go in the afternoon and just sit and watch the world go by. A very sweet place.

dick bird,fin del mundo (El Viento)
Por eso tengo que volver
a tantos sitios venideros
para encontrarme conmigo
y examinarme sin cesar,
sin más testigo que la luna
y luego silbar de alegría
pisando piedras y terrones,
sin más tarea que existir,
sin más familia que el camino.
Pablo Neruda -
"And that's why I have to go back
to so many places in the future,
there to find myself
and constantly examine myself
with no witness but the moon
and then whistle with joy.
ambling over rocks and clods of earth,
with no task but to live,
with no family but the road [camino]."
Pablo Neruda (translator unknown)
I've been absent from the forum for a few days. Things are getting hectic: after infinite postponements and disappointments, we are finally set to fly to Spain via UK in April to start the via de la Lana and we have about a month to get ready as well as all the other stuff we'd arranged to do before that, but we are really excited about it, especially as we will be hospis on El Burgo Ranero second half of April. Feel free to drop in and say hello, I'm the one with the beard.
Photo is of Finisterra harbour between sunset and moonrise, sometime in October 2012.

On Camino del Norte in May of 2013 my 2 friends and I spent the night in Comillas. We planned arriving early in the day so we could visit the exquisite El Capricho by the world renowned Catalán architect Antoní Gaudí. When we saw Gaudí's statue sitting in the patio contemplating his finished work, we couldn't help but join him to do the same!Just before the New Year seems a fine time to start a new thread. For those just joining us, the routine is to post a single photo per day from any camino.. If you can let us know where it is and which year, and if you are running out of images. repetition is quite OK.. Short stories are fun too, but not obligatory - part of what I so enjoy here is that other people's photos bring up memories, which keeps the thread endlessly interesting.
Such a blessing.
Gratitude for hospies everywhere.
Here is Luis, checking us in at the wonderful municipal in Beasain on the Vasco in 2018. Endless caritas there too:

Wonder if bars in Galicia still have the fifty percent capacity rule for sitting at the bar due to Covid?
