Can you show me your license, registration and Intentions please?
Intentions have been at the core of my Camino de Santiago experience lately. And because that experience was online, mostly on Facebook, one’s intentions must be called into consideration. Hell, one’s existence must be called into consideration after I found out about 30% of the Participants who were commenting and running Camino de Santiago group pages didn’t exist. Continue reading
Heroes of The Camino: Scene One.
A small scene between three experienced Heroes of The Camino de Santiago. Continue reading
Communion at the Everflowing Fountain. Not My Camino, Chp 18.
Church after church we entered, sometimes together, sometimes she went in alone. There may have been one or two that I saw which didn’t, but only because she was already in a church. Continue reading
Estella and Lucid Dreaming. Chp 17. Not my Camino.
I don’t know you at all. And with our very limited interaction the only deductions I may conclude is that you are a carbon based life form and you own a computing device, either hand or lap. So you might … Continue reading
I learn about the word ‘Hot’. Not my Camino, Chp 16
For people who hate to be noticed when they don’t want to be noticed, bunk beds on the Camino can be a nightmare. Because I am a gentleman, I usually took the top bunk. Or because Stacy told me to, I took the top bunk. These things get hazy in a marriage. Continue reading
Pamplona and Alto de Perdon. Chp 15 Not my Camino
One of the biggest fears in travel is “I’m going to miss it”. The awful anxiety that eats away at your Fun Time which Insists that for one reason or another you are going to not see the one thing everyone else saw and that it was the best thing ever! Continue reading
Nothing tastes better than the Hand that Feeds You! Not My Camino Chp 14.
here’s a movie about the Camino de Santiago called ‘The Way’ starring Martin Sheen. I hate it. It’s a plodding and predictable piece of propaganda which celebrates the obvious and considers subtlety a sin.
Music on the road! Chp 13, Not My Camino.
I am an aficionado of silence. As much as I like music, I respect silence more. It was a rare commodity when I was a kid and it’s even rarer now. And it’s not fair that we all share playlists of Music, but never lists of Silences. So…..
A Bad Walk. Not My Camino Chp. 12.
But cheap laughs are often cruel laughs. It’s a shame how often being funny is the same as being mean. A life in comedy is the opposite of a life in diplomacy. Also while listening to Klaus, I can remember others shirking my Mother’s company because she was difficult to be around, and I sure didn’t want to make anyone else feel that way, especially an amiable guy like Klaus.

“Lintzoain and Basque Country” Not My Camino, Ch 11.
The road from Roncevalles was lovely, and we met a bunch of folks who made the trail lighter. Stacy hooked up with a trio of ladies from Colombia and I found some folks from England who were taking pictures of … Continue reading
