John Sikora replied to the thread Fear versus Reality.I find that my anxiety about length of day's walk and the amount of elevation is always an issue.

John Sikora replied to the thread From Catholic News Service: True Christian pilgrimages are rooted in silence, the Gospel, pope says.I prefer to think not as much about silence as saying only what needs to be said at that moment and not adding to the general cacaphony of trivia that tries to continually take our attention away from what is right in front of our noses.

John Sikora replied to the thread How to go to Finisterre?.I'd also put in a vote to stop in Muxia. Finisterre is very nice. IMHO, Muxia is a little less touristy. Both are truly delightful places to rest, recuperate, and reflect.
