    How much weight did you lose?

    I lost none, and enjoyed eating all the Basque food. No carrots for me.

    LIVE from the Camino Graffiti...and meaness

My son is 23 and we are traveling now (just left Belfarado). He also said that with the man snoring in our albergue last night, he...

    Graffiti - what to do?
