    If You Are Sick

    This irritates me - because I have not been able to walk since Puente La Reina because one of my pilgrims, who is a nurse by the way, showed up sick and didn’t tell anybody and wrote the taxi with us to SJPP. She did not wear a mask. As a result, I got sick and two of my pilgrims got sick and...

    I realize this is an old thread, but one of my pilgrims looks like he’s developed cellulitis and I need to get him to a doctor in Sarria. Is this place still open and is Centro de Salud where I should start?

    Pork in Spain

    Whatever. We had delicious pork chops at the green corner in Leon. I wouldn’t call it particularly upscale.

    Pork in Spain

    I wasn’t sure where to post this so mods feel free to move it. This year I’ve had more than one person in my group complain because the pork they ordered was “raw” and they have sent it back to be cooked to well done.

    standard of living/quality of life in Spain

    I have always felt that the infrastructure of Spain makes the United States look like a Third World country! Today on our Taxi ride from Burgos to Leon I was astonished at how clean the highways were. Everything is in good repair, clean and bright . I saw no homeless camps , no needles in the...

    Manjarin: Tomás Martinez de Paz, the last templar

    In case anyone would like to see it. I thought it was a great photo of him and it was such a great night. I had stayed there back in 2006 and a young man showed up at dinner time in raggedy clothes and barefoot and was not speaking at all. Several of us, me included, were put off by the young...
