    Tincatinker reacted to TerryB's post in the thread Pilgrimage - selfish? with Love - Red heart Love - Red heart.
    The time after return from the Camino gives us space to reflect on the good and not so good and the positive and negative aspects. Here is an extract from my thoughts after the Primitivo. "At the bottom of the valley The river Navia goes On its...

    Maybe we should learn and remember this sentence of Jean-Christophe Rufin (a french writer) in "Immortelle Randonnée": "On leaving for Santiago de Compostela, I wasn't looking for anything and I found it"

    Tincatinker reacted to Bradypus's post in the thread Pilgrimage - selfish? with Thank you Thank you.
    You seem to be suggesting that because someone does not wish to enter into conversation with you on a topic of your choice they have no interest or respect for that matter. Why do you assume that it is the duty of other pilgrims to be your...

    Tincatinker reacted to Bradypus's post in the thread Theft at Roncesvalles with Like Like.
    I tend to think of the line from "Nuns on the Run" when the actors are making the sign of the cross - "Spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch". Though that may not be so appropriate for all of us...

    Tincatinker reacted to J Willhaus's post in the thread Re: Current Lunch Prices with Haha Haha.
    A short story about siesta from my first Camino: I was staying at Corazon Puro at Bizkarreta (before Zubiri) in a lovely place run by a pilgrim couple from Hungary (sadly, now it is closed or at least changed hands, I am not sure which). I had...

    Tincatinker reacted to Pafayac's post in the thread Confused over date format with Like Like.
    There are 2 convenient ways to express a date: - DD-MM-YYYY, mainly used for human beings. - YYYY-MM-DD, more oriented to business processing. If you find somebody, in Europe, who expresses a date according to MM-DD-YYYY, it should be an...
