Camino de Santiago is A Journey For the Masses

admin — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 09:22:11 +0000

“But I don’t think I can walk that far.” “You can,” I protest. “The Camino is completely different from the Appalachian Trail.” “How so?” This is a sample conversation that I have had with countless potential pilgrims.

Yes, what about food? A question which had not occurred to me before going to Spain and France to start my first Camino.

When someone says, “Spain”, the typical images that comes to mind for a lot of people is of sun, beaches and bullfighting. The more adventurous, of course, know that Spain has so much more to offer.

We finished our short walk on the Le Puy Camino, Chemin de Saint Jacques, last Sunday evening – I was glad to get into Conques as my feet had been killing me the whole way. This is not a route for walking shoes, boots should have been the choice, I know now. Already the walk [...]

A Sense of Community on the Appalachian Trail and Camino de Santiago

admin — Tue, 08 May 2012 06:31:20 +0000

“Hey man, is there any way you can come hike with me on the Appalachian Trail?” I anxiously asked all my close friends. “No, I’ve gotta’ work,” was the response I invariably received. “Well, how bout’ just going for a week or two,” I virtually pleaded with most of them.
