    I love this post and felt the same recently, writing a post on Camino Re-Entry. A few things have helped entering the chaos of “the real world”, whatever that is. I’m hiking every night and see the gorgeous sunsets, I’m praying more (as I did on...

    Having not done my Camino yet (starting next month), I can't speak from experience, but' Im with the OP, I like to know what things cost before ordering them. It's not a budget issue, I can afford whatever I want to get (maybe because I watch...
