    What did you lose...??

    i myself didn't lose a clothespin (i got really good at packing in the dark), but my friend "lost" his wallet which had his passport, bank cards, and id in it. it was actually taken, but that's kind of a long story. after three days of searching, panicking, talking to the guardia civil and...

    If people stop their walking about 2 o'clock each day...

    I don't think that I was ever bored on the Camino, ever. As a college student with traveling with no ipod, no laptop, and no books (I was sad about the no books, but they were heavy!) this was quite impressive. The earliest I ever stopped walking was 11am, the latest 6pm (only once, and it was...

    Blog on Bedbugs

    So I've just returned from my Camino, and despite my permethrin treated gear and bed/albergue inspection precautions, a friend and I may or may not have played host and transport to some critters. Our bite patterns were a bit odd and though we took our shirts off in many a farmacia and alberbue...

    getting from Madrid to SJPdP

    we too have had traveling difficulties, but we didn't even make it to madrid. our flight out of washington dc was delayed, and then a flight attendant accidentally opened an emergency exit because one of the safety pins was missing, and the slide deployed. this delayed us even further, and half...

    Newbie from Arkansas/California starting June 2011

    I'm going on my first Camino with a friend starting June 4, and we also want to go on to Finisterre if possible. I'm from Arkansas/Washington and he's Arkansas/Louisiana!! Maybe we'll see each other along the way :)

    Backpack too small?

    Wow. Thanks for all the advice! I am familiar with the Camino group in Seattle, and EXTREMELY familiar with the REI off Denny. This past summer I worked at a homeless shelter on Denny and would always want to hop down to just wander around or rock climb- I basically grew up on the Pinnacle...

    Backpack too small?

    haha i don't even use that stuff back home. thanks for the advice, though. most of the "extras" that i would be bringing along would be clothing related. on that note, in your clothes list you said you brought capri length exercise pants. is there any reason i can't just bring some exercise...

    Backpack too small?

    oh dear. i already own a pretty heavy duty pack that's complete overkill for what i'll need on the camino, so i've been looking online for other alternatives (there are no outdoor stores near my school, and i don't have a car here to get to one). during winter break i went to REI almost daily to...

    Class of 2011

    It's done. After an extremely lengthy proposal/application process, we got our funding! My friend Johnny and I just purchased plane tickets from DFW to MAD leaving on June 1. We are both sophomores at Hendrix College and will be walking the Camino as part of our school's Odyssey program...

    footwear on the Camino

    i just purchased a pair of la sportiva FC Eco 3.0 GTX hiking boots from rei after spending three hours trying on different boots with different insoles and climbing around their test route to see how they felt. though all the boots i tried on were selected because of their particularly narrow...

    As I said in the above post, I am from Seattle, WA and am planning to do the Camino Frances from the very end of May to the beginning of July. I am 20 years old and will be walking with two others my age. I am definitely the least athletic of the three of us, but possibly the most enthusiastic...
