      ritaj reacted to Yoyo's post in the thread Security bars on windows with Like Like.
      My concern wouldn't be so much to keep the bad guys out but to get out myself in case of an emergency like a fire, when exiting through the door is impossible...

      ritaj reacted to ShoshTrvls's post in the thread Ethics with Like Like.
      This thread is not about how we might feel upon viewing the Alhambra or the Taj Mahal. This deflection may make you personally feel better, but it ignores and belittles the actual suffering by those who were targeted by the Inquisition, the...

      I love the beautiful old cathedrals, as well as the small parish churches, and I'm glad they are here. As I mentioned in a prior thread, this athiest Jew came closest to having a "religious" experience upon first seeing the Baldacchino in Rome...

      ritaj reacted to RobertS26's post in the thread Ethics with Like Like.
      It's funny, I did not look at the churches on the Camino and think to myself, "Now that's a waste of money." Rather I looked at $200 carbon fiber hiking poles, $500 sunglasses, and designer day packs costing who knows what, and thought, "Now...

      ritaj reacted to VNwalking's post in the thread Ethics with Like Like.
      The desamortización de Mendizábal in the 19th C. didn't arise in a void. And certainly the ordinary (and not so ordinary) people of Mesoamerica had less, because of all the gold flowing into Spain. Far less, with effects to this day. I think of...

      ritaj reacted to Paladina's post in the thread Ethics with Like Like.
      I would be concerned more with current inequalities in income and living conditions for which the Church is not primarily responsible. Few pilgrims travelling to Spain are likely to venture off the trail as far as the squalid encampment of...

      ritaj reacted to scruffy1's post in the thread Happy Hanuka! with Like Like.
      Walking the Camino, we often lose the track of the day or the week. This is a reminder for all our Jewish Brethren that our Hanuka Holiday, falls on the 25th of December . You may have a hard time finding a potato pancake but a croqueta with a...

      ritaj reacted to MARSKA's post in the thread Do it NOW with Love - Red heart Love - Red heart.
      About the "do it while you can" philosophy - take heed. A friend I made while walking was diagnosed with cancer 1 month after arriving home. My husband had a stroke and then bypass surgery only 2 months after my return (thank God it didnt...

      ritaj reacted to alexwalker's post in the thread I was dead, but I won't lie down: I continue walking. with Love - Red heart Love - Red heart.
      You bet. I will walk until I don't. Actually, the events of last year have made me even more determined to walk Caminos until I fall down...... What an exit that would be! Going down doing what you love. After my "death sentence" many...

      A few of the Forum members have known about my condition for some time. In Feb. 2024 I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. I was registered in the national Parkinson registry. A miserable death was awaiting as my future. No more Caminos. I...
