PPerambulating Griffin reacted to JabbaPapa's post in the thread From just before Burgos - 47 friggin kms to find a bed!!! with
Like.
Modern social security systems are inherited from Mediaeval systems put in place in Hospitals for the ill, the indigent, the excluded, and the pilgrims. Indeed !! :) A complex comment, but yes indeed. Though there's the element, true to present... -
PPerambulating Griffin reacted to Gerard Griffin's post in the thread From just before Burgos - 47 friggin kms to find a bed!!! with
Love - Red heart.
This isn't a popular view, as the comments above illustrated. It is the way the Camino has been from the beginning, is now, and will always be. A pilgrimage in which the duty of the pilgrim is to their soul, and the duty of others ... -
PPerambulating Griffin replied to the thread Parador resumes the “free meal” tradition.Au contraire! The lunch *is* special! Not for its gastronomic merits (it is whatever the staff will eat that day), but because it is freely given by the staff, at the “family table”, and demonstrates a level of generosity we are unlikely to see...

PPerambulating Griffin replied to the thread Canadian Pilgrims - Freedom Mobile Question.Is it a flat fee like Roger's "Roam like home"? If so, it's $15 per day every time your phone connects to the infrasctructure. Far better to get a SIM or E-SIM.... anywhere from 15-40 euros for a month, depending on how many GB you want to buy.

PPerambulating Griffin replied to the thread Pork in Spain.I think those are called Fallow Deer. And IIRC from Michener, they are not hunted. EDIT: ... Hmmm. Nope the European fallow deer is not so small. The small ones might be Spanish Red Deer, but I really haven't been able to get close enough to ID...

PPerambulating Griffin replied to the thread Pork in Spain.Beef and pork cheeks rarely feature on a "mid budget" menu here in Canada, but I find them regularly at the more 'gastro-pub' places where they will braise these cuts for hours (it's cheap meat, but requires labour and patience to be delicious so...

PPerambulating Griffin replied to the thread Snoring. AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!.Off side a little bit, but I have wondered often enough how much of the touted spiritual enlightenment is a consequence of days and days of excessive physical effort and night after night of sleep deprivation. In this, the camino as it is done...

PPerambulating Griffin reacted to Mananath's post in the thread Snoring. AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!! with Like.
These.are great. I got them last year for the Norte and while I didn't come across many snorers I did find that when I did the noise blockers worked perfectly. I used the brown noise setting and it seemed to be just the right pitch to counter out...

PPerambulating Griffin replied to the thread Snoring. AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!.I recently bought and successfully used noise-masking earphones on my all-too-brief walk on the Baztan (Bayonne to Pamplona) and the Frances (Pamplona to Logrono). Comfortable, effective, and more cost effective than staying in hotel rooms. I...
