    Slow but moving forward

    I knew exactly what you meant Fernando. Been through many similar situations. However, most if not all who read the auto-correct "mispelling" understood what I meant. Now, make sure you don't lose that brown hat. Buen Camino

    LIVE from the Camino Anyone near Castrojeriz now

    True. Albergue Orion should not be called Korean Albergue simply because it is popular due to its "bibimbap" dinner. However, their "bibimbap" dinner is authentically prepared by the Korean lady (Changsui), Dani's partner in the albergue.

    Pilgrimage - selfish?

    The Camino will provide?

    Yes! The camino is THE people (pilgrims) on it. Without the pilgrims, the camino as it is regarded, would be, well, just another trail or path or way.

    Confused over date format

    How about jacket zippers? Europe zippers are inserted rightie while leftie in US. Tylenol/Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) pills with 1000 mg each. Clothing product tags are almost a foot long, an inch maybe in US.

    Confused over date format

    I believe Spain, particularly business transactions, uses the ISO standard/format calendar; most significant number (year/yyyy), next significant (month/mm), then day number (dd).
