How exciting for me to see how Finisterre, a Camino pilgrim destination, is also a point that joins together the great bracelet of the around-the-world race. Not the end of the world, but nearly the end of this mighty Vendée Globe race for these courageous skippers.

So many ways to be a pilgrim
Be warned! When you set out on a pilgrimage, it will change your life henceforth. You will be a pilgrim for ever.

Holy Week, Semana Santa on the Camino

Oh! I guess that’s a NO.
But last week I got a short but polite note saying they would not be taking my novel any further.

Let me hasten to say it is great to be back on the Camino, but it is quite tough. I am out of my comfort zone, and that is not a bad thing, and especially invigorating!
Reporting in. Hi there, I’m back!
First post since my return from being a volunteer on the Camino Argones

Camino packing
Packing for my Camino, I checked out some forums about sleepwear. Some pilgrims, sleep in their next day’s hiking gear and then spring out of bed and are on the trail pronto. Sorry, this does not work for me. I am actually taking a silky nightgown, so laugh away, the diaphanous pilgrim!
