Estaing, Via Podiensis May 2022
As Didier and I approached Estaing, we met an older woman who stopped us and asked if she could take a couple of photos of us. We asked why she wanted pictures of a couple of pilgrims she had never met before. She explained she was retired and visiting small towns by car. Her husband and her son were walking these stages of the Camino, but it would be too difficult for her. Her hobby is ink drawings and water colours, and so she would sketch different locations along the Camino as she waited for them. She showed us several of her sketches. They were very nice. Then she showed us one which had the Camino in it and explained that she wanted to create some drawings of the Camino with a couple of pilgrims, and that was why she wanted our picture.
As we were chatting with her she noticed my accent and discovered I am Canadian. She asked me what my impressions of France were, and "What is France" to me. I simply pointed at Didier and said “This is France. Didier is France to me!” And it is true. He was, and is, a great Camino companion, a good walker, and provided excellent colour commentary on everything that is France, especially the food!
A few weeks later, he received an email from her, with an ink sketch of Estaing ... but rats! we didn't make it into the drawing!

How well I remember this, on the morning after our stay in the albergue there. It was an oasis, truly. €5 for the bed. Laundry by hand of course, I think there may have been sheets... the kidney shaped pool to dip into, and the bar, and the communal meal.. and the madre as well as the son, who seemingly is still very much in evidence. They also had, and I gather still do, a separate scale for private accommodation. Thanks for the reminder... then, the lovely church in Fromista...

Via Podiensis. May 2022 - from the "strange but true" files
A little while after leaving Le Soulié early one morning, we came to a town with a small grocery store. Behind the counter were some pastries, and Didier asked me if I wanted one. What a silly question, of course I did! Take a look at this pastry. What do you call it?
The name of this pastry is at the center of a longstanding food feud in France, so you had better be careful the next time you are in France, in order that you use the proper nomenclature according to the region of France you are visiting. Here is how I found out about it. When Didier and I went into the grocery store he asked the woman behind the counter for two “pains au chocolat”. The woman stared at him ... then he quickly corrected and excused himself and asked for two “chocolatines”. The woman then said that she preferred the latter name. When we were outside the shop Didier explained that people in the north of France call this pastry a “pain au chocolat” while people in the south of France use the term “chocolatine”. Strange but true. A few kilometers later we stopped at a little picnic area to eat our lunch and enjoy the "chocolatines". There were two young women pilgrims there, and we discovered they were from Brittany. So I turned to Didier and said that I wanted to test his story. I pulled out a pastry asked the two women what they called it, and they both immediately started laughing because they knew exactly what I was referring to. “It's a pain au chocolat, of course,” they said.

I took this photo in Christchurch Cathedral, just before reaching the Camino Centre office in St James's church in Dublin, prior to walking the Inglés. Any pilgrim visiting Dublin, take your credential, and you will be given a stamp, and free access to visit the Cathedral. the seats all have this wonderful motif, and the floor tiles are old, and also Camino themed.

So happy for you. I would need to be blindfolded and hold my nose...

Maybe you should try it with someone who will teach you how to do it. Snails are washed before cooking and not everything is eaten from snails. You don't have to hold your nose, the aroma is delicious
I ate it with a French pilgrim and we both enjoyed it.

Exactly 20 years ago after this photo was taken I turned and crossed that bridge, lost my footing and fell head first onto paving! Although an egg quickly swelled on my forehead I was rescued by several camino angels.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Am I correct in thinking this is a church that was affected by an earthquake in Portugal long ago? Inside, there is a beautiful wooden statue of Our Lady, c.15th century. When I find my photo I will post it.
here she is!

The Panadella grew up a lot around a bread oven and a gas station. In 2004 the road was replaced by a motorway, but many drivers still leave the motorway to enjoy the services that remain.

Manjarín is behind me, and ahead waiting for us, a breakfast for hardy pilgrims in El Acebo. We stopped there in a cafe on the left, and had quite the Spanish breakfast, washed down with some red wine. Not our usual camino liquid! I am not speaking of a pastry, by the way. It was the works, what a manual worker would have got...It carried us on to Ponferrada, unless I am mis-remembering!
It is well worth watching what locals order, by the way...

Well, this is somewhere on the Via de Bayona/Camino Vasco del Interior. Due to losing all of my electronic devices due to theft, I only have a few precious images -photos I sent to others - left of this beautiful camino. The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
