    Men in their underwear?

    I had thought of snagging a lower bunk because I toss and turn a good deal and figured it would cause fewer problems to my bunkmate. Then I had a dream of bedbugs dropping on me from above. I have decided to haul my ancient carcass to the upper regions.

    Toilet Paper

    Actually, my home, in the good old USofA has some of the aforementioned tweaky sewer lines so the bin disposal is part of my life. I asked because it is understood in Cuba not to flush and there are no signs. Just checking with the rural parts of Spain. Thanks for all of the input. Peace, Deborah

    Toilet Paper

    Yes, I know, leave no paper on the trail, but what about in the toilet. I have visited rural areas in Cuba where paper is disposed of in a bin due to sensitive plumbing. Would that hold true for the rural areas of the Camino? Just checking, Deborah

    Spiritual preparation for a newbie

    How our God does provide. My Camino begins in late September and just today I was wondering what my spiritual practice would be for the Way. As often as I have visited the Forum I have never seen this thread until today. I guess God was waiting for me to be ready before pointing me in the...

    Men in their underwear?

    Ah, so the "dibs" system works on the Camino.

    Men in their underwear?

    Well, I guess this answers the question of where to find entertainment on the Camino. The message about the man getting off the top bunk does raise a question. How does one go about securing the bottom bunk? I am not squeamish about being on the top bunk - just trying to be considerate of...

    Gender differences walking the Caminos

    I had considered wearing a skirt then spent a warm day trekking around a local park. I will take a bit of "relief" inconvenience over chapped thighs any day. Those ladies on the forum with svelte limbs need not comment. ;)
