Unvaccinated Americans Hiking Portuguese Camino Into Spain

Walking in May
Laurie, Thanks for the reply. You say you don't use rain pants or gaiters. Does the rain ever get into your boots from the top? I have water resistant nylon hiking pants, not the rain pants, that cover the tops of my boots. I'm wondering if these pants will be enough to keep the rain out of my...- flmike

Walking in May
I've been trying out Smartwool socks. They fit great but take a long time to dry after I hand wash them. Is that your experience? Should I just take 3 or 4 pair of Smartwool with me during my Sept. 2013 Camino or try another material? What sock materials are quick drying? Also, rain pants or...- flmike

Class of 2013

I'm mildly hypoglycemic. Beef jerky is thinly sliced beef that has been dried to the point of being tough and...- flmike

Class of 2013
I don't like bananas. Do any of y'all eat beef jerky while doing the Camino? Will I be able to buy it along the way or should I bring my own? I need meat. Mike- flmike

Thoughts on photography and camera selection for the Camino
I'm leaving my big Nikon at home and taking a super zoom bridge camera-- Lumix FZ 200, an upgrade for the Lumix FZ 150. The lens is good for closeup and distance and has a 2.8 f/stop across the entire zoom range--"fast glass." Shoots RAW and JPEG. And it is very light...- flmike
