episode #19 ipilgrim podcast -- Camino Customs

Hey Pilgrims,
It's a little less than 2 weeks until I am on the Camino again. My backpack is strung out on the living room floor in front of me. All of my "necessities" are piled up on the chair. I'm asking the question of everything... do I really need it in Spain?  My goal is 20 pounds but I'm currently at 25 pounds. Five pounds of my pack is going to be my computer/podcasting equipment.  I found my pink flip camera that still has files from my last camino and I started to delete the files on there.  Until I found this file: lighting things on fire
That's just one of the "traditions" pilgrims along the Camino participate in. We were at Finisterre, Spain..." Kilometer 0" or the end of the Camino. We decided to take one piece of clothing we had worn on the Camino and burn it on the rocks by the lighthouse. Of course, most pilgrims today have clothes made out of Spadex and moisture-wicking synthetic fibers that don't burn all that well.
The picture above is the actual rock I took from my favorite beach in Florida-- Honeymoon Island State Park in Dunedin, Florida. This time I'm not taking a rock, but something else symbolic... a little pink doll made out of yarn. But, should I "litter" became the question I started to ask.
Meanwhile, Steve is getting ready to the CNMC in Kansas City next week. Last year, I attended the CNMC in Boston and made the decision to start recording ipilgrim podcast. If you are interested in podcasting or blogging, it's a good place to learn how.
I have no idea when the three of us will be recording another episode together, but there might be a few episodes from the Camino itself, if I can manage it. Until then...
Buen Camino,
Deborah
