I also was diagnosed two years ago and am doing Sarria to Santiago September 2024. Maybe I’ll see you there. I have been training since January and hope I will be able to make it. My Parkinson’s causes fatigue, but I battle it as best I can with...
I need a new backpack like a hole in the head, but I was intrigued by the new Flash Air backpack from REI. At 50 liters it's larger than I need, but it's very lightweight. It's currently on pre-order, but there are already reviews from almost a...
Woody, wow, what a close call! Thank goodness for the angels. May you heal up quickly and may the rest of the Camino be incident-free.

In my first Camino, I walked with another priest from Porto to SdC, and I don't think we ever stopped talking. We were professors in the same graduate program, he the spiritual director and I the scripture prof. We had a lot to process, and we...
Dear Laurie,
You have been and remain a total inspiration. Your help, your guidance, your insights and now your inner thoughts - I applaud it all… as I enjoy a cuppa thanks to your recommendation of a water heating coil!! (Sourced in Burgos in...
