I walk the Way

A pilgrim on the Camino de Santiago

Gratitude

The camino provides. This is a theme I learned on my first journey on the Camino de Santiago. You find very quickly that your needs are covered and most times in miraculous and unexpected ways. So as I have been gearing up to leave there has been one steady need […]

This morning started off quite nice as the weather was overcast and cool which I much prefer to 100 degree heat! Not long after I began walking I met a pilgrim from Italy. As we walked we conversed in a mix of english, italian, and spanish. It was the usual […]

What a small world

This morning I set out quite early. In the first town I passed through I spotted a pilgrim outside an albergue. He had two children’s push carts that he was packing up. Last Camino I saw a woman doing that and thought it was extraordinary. Then a bit further down […]

On the Camino most restaurants have a “pilgrim’s menu”. This is really nice with one exception, limited vegetables. If all you like to eat is meat and bread you will do well. So whenever I find an albergue with a kitchen I try to get my veggies. Last night the […]

I haven’t posted much recently due to several different factors. Mostly because the cheap replacement phone I purchased doesn’t charge past 5%. I finished my Camino in Santiago this time. I really wanted to continue to Finesterre but about three days before Santiago I began having some rather sever problems […]
