    Credit/Debit Card without CHIP will work?

    Day 8 here, only problem I had was at the French train station: I couldn't use the machines to pick up my online purchased ticket, and had to go to the counter and talk to an agent.

    Swollen feet....

    Is this something to be worried about? Has anyone had this? I'm 8 days in and starting about my third or fourth day I get this painful swelling in my feet when standing.

    Just did a test walk with my boots/socks. Is this anything to worry about?

    Weather in July/August: can someone verify this?

    First post and first camino coming up in a few months. Question about weather: I'll be doing the Camino Frances in July/August. I found a lot of good advice on weather, but I'm very much a data person. I boiled down the data from this site (link) and this is what I got data-wise. Can anyone...
