    KiwiJohn reacted to David el peregrino's post in the thread Camino Pendant for Ashes with Love - Red heart Love - Red heart.
    Hi there, firstly i struggled to find the right forum for this message..... I am looking to buy a Camino shell pendant that I can hang around my neck which I can place some of my wife's ashes in (she passed away recently). If anyone knows...

    KiwiJohn reacted to HBS60's post in the thread Weight, Heat, Humidity with Buen Camino! Buen Camino!.

    Precisely! Nothing to do with the subject of the thread but to punctuate the point: The Pilgrim who went off at me and another Peregrina in O Pedrouso around 9:00 pm (so, well before the 'lights out' time) for "talking too loud " locked himself...
