      I regret not reading Iberia earlier, however, it is never to late to read this marvelous tome, published in 1968. I just finished reading it, two years after beginning my Camino Frances. In Iberia Michener recounts his personal travel...

      Shazzza replied to the thread Social anxiety on the camimo.
      I don’t have social anxiety (not a fan of crowds tho) and my goal is to be alone. That’s why I am going alone. I want to disconnect from my very social world back home. To be quiet. I will choose to eat alone, walk alone, just be. Some may think...

      I can only tell what has helped me for several years following the guidance of medical personnel. STRENGTH - thighs (all types of squats and f.eks wall-sits as mentioned), calves and hips. All muscles in the legs relieve the knees downhills...

      Shazzza reacted to anoldfireman's post in the thread My own socks test with Like Like.
      Well…… about $400 usd in socks and liners later and about 160 miles. I live in California near the Sierra mountains so we have some good trails and heat- I wanted to find my perfect combination for no blisters. I am an older dude who is on...

      Shazzza reacted to J Willhaus's post in the thread Bar Etiquette with Like Like.
      I always clear my table (before and after is needed) and it usually gives me a chance to go inside and ask for a stamp (cello) or use the bathroom. On busy days, there may be someone waiting to sit at that table and I personally don't like to sit...
