- [My Camino Day](https://www.seniorpilgrimage.com/category/my-camino-day/) - My Camino Day posts describe what I saw, heard, smelled, and experienced on a specific day on el Camino de Santiago. Each post is my best effort to distill a huge amount of information into one, hopefully interesting, post. The hardest parts of these posts are sorting through all my photos and videos, which I tend to linger over far too long, being honest about some of the [darned] fool things that I did, and opening my feelings about the whole experience to others.
