    zora reacted to wonzi's post in the thread Are you 70+ and still walking Caminos? with Like Like.
    I walked my first Camino in 2013 with a granddaughter who had just graduated with her Bachelor's in Nursing and at my ripe old age of 75, I figured I was in good hands if anything happened along The Way! She didn't believe in taking a bus or...

    Set off to reach Santiago for my 70th birthday, the first person I met on the climb up to Orisson (and the only person walking slower than me), was an 84-year US doctor and we kept each other company as far as Pamplona. Have been back most...

    Dear all, I woke up this morning to over 200 new spam accounts having signed up and started sending inappropriate Private messages to members. I am so sorry for this! They have now all been deleted. When I woke up, I did disable the...

    zora reacted to truenorthpilgrm's post in the thread What do you wash your clothes with with Like Like.
    Dr. Bronners soap does a marvelous job, leaving very little to no residue, and my clothes feel pretty darn clean afterwards. I like the lemon scented one for laundry, and the lavender one for shower time.🪻🍋

    zora reacted to Gekkosan's post in the thread Need help deciding to bring or not to bring with Like Like.
    I love it how everyone has such different notions of what’s “essential” for them. I used my Apple Watch AND my phone heavily. Both of them. Likewise, I had never used walking poles before I started El Camino, but boy - I’m never taking to a...

    This answer reminds me of what is referred to in France as « une réponse de Normands » (an answer from people out of Normandy who will answer negatively and then answer positively or vice-versa.

    I was 59 in 2002 and none of the WiFi whiz tech was available. 17 lbs in my Kelty, later a Vaude. Hardly anyone in Colorado Springs, including REI, had a clue where I was going. "Pilgrimage across Spain... are you like a nun, or something?"...

    Oh, we don't know what we can do until we do it. On my first Camino I thought just getting to SJPP was an achievement - everything that followed was icing on the cake. I couldn't imagine making it to Santiago till the last couple of weeks -...

    I just turned 70. I too am an old decrepit pilgrim. Doing camino 9 this October. You have early accommodations booked for a couple of nights. Don't know if that takes you to Pamplona. You did not say what kind of places you want to sleep in. Is...

    zora reacted to lt56ny's post in the thread The booking ahead problem: Is it a problem? with Like Like.
    I could not agree with you more. Whe I first walked in 2012 and even again from Le Puy in 2015 I had no telephone at all. I found out about the Brierley guide about 3 weeks before I left. Luckily the bookstore in my town did me a big favor and...
