      I am currently walking the Camino Frances with my parents and am enjoying every moment. I brought some euros with me and loaded money onto a cash passport as I thought this would be safe. Unfortunately after checking my balance today over €300...

      My friend Lindsay carries some chewable aspirin with him on the Camino, not for himself, but in case someone is having a heart attack. Aspirin can save a person's life, and heart attacks are the leading cause of death on the camino. Great idea.

      As usual, I have several anecdotes to illustrate both sides of this. One time at home I was out running an errand in my car and it started to rain. I saw a woman walking with a bag of groceries, so I stopped and offered her a ride. She jumped...

      You seem to be suggesting that because someone does not wish to enter into conversation with you on a topic of your choice they have no interest or respect for that matter. Why do you assume that it is the duty of other pilgrims to be your...

      You'll be back. Start in some logical place you can easily reach from Barcelona (ie, Pamplona), walk as far as body and calendar allow, go make your event in Rome. And another year, in another life (trust me), you'll be back to pick up where you...

      On the other hand, I think one element of the transformative Camino experience is learning how good it feels to be generous to strangers. But. Not. Every. Single. One. or Every. Single. Day.

      My remarks are based on personal observations from the 2010-2011 period, which is when I walked the Le Puy. At that time, the re-routing phenomenon was a topic of considerable discussion among fellow (French) walkers, and I distinctly recall two...

      Yes, sections do get rerouted from year to year. Sometimes, the on-the-ground signage doesn't quite catch up (or the old ones dont disappear when the new ones get posted). Usually this reroute is because of some new gite that's just opened up...

      May 5th is the Sunday following a mid-week May 1 national holiday, so many took the entire week off and are returning home. I bet if you can train to an intermediate point (Validolad?), hole up for the night, then continue on May 6 you'd find...
