    Deaf girls

    I was approached three different times either before or after Sarria by deaf girls with slates, indicating they want a donation. Does anyone know if these girls come from an area school? Has anyone else met them? What is your reaction? I ignored the requests with a polite smile the first two...

    Rain Poncho question.

    Twelve years ago, I took rain pants. i sweated inside them, and they were difficult to get on during the day.

    "Lost" clothing

    It appears that someone had a greater need for my blue rain jacket at the Albergue Roncesvalles than I did on April 15. Through the Forum, I've been warned to carry valuables in a water-proof bag to the bathroom. I hadn't realized that anyone would be interested in clothing. Has anyone else had...
