    Weather on the Meseta

    I have been walking the Camino Frances in two week chunks. I walked Roncevalles to Logrono in 2015, Logrono to Burgos in 2014, and skipped ahead to walk Sarria to Santiago in 2015 arriving at the Cathedral for my 70th birthday. I am ready to return and fill in the gaps. So, what time of year...

    Food - photos from the Camino

    And was I surprised at this course as part of the menu del dia at Los Reyes de Jamon in Logrono. I didn't recognize the Spanish name of the dish as recited by the waitress so I asked what it was. She pointed at her hip which was fine since the restaurant specialized in ham. Believe me what...

    The new Compostela - certificate of distance travelled

    So a question: how does the distance certificate treat "disjointed" caminos? If I walk Roncevalles to SDC in three separate segments, does the certificate use Roncevalles or Leon, the starting point of the last segment (and ending point of the previous segment) to calculate distance?

Dog got no hits in our room (thanks be to God!) . I asked the dog if he would like a vacation in Spain to accompany me on the Camino , aka...

    Where to buy Scallop Shells

    I ordered shells for Coquilles Saint Jacques from cooking supplies section of Amazon. Came in. Four pack. A little red paint and I had one for me and three to give to others planning a walk.

    Traditional Masses

    How sad... Why would you plan on so limiting the richness of the Camino? For me, the joy of the Way is the incredible opportunity to move out of my usual niche to experience diversity of experiences, people, ecclesial practice. A cradle Ronan Catholic, the mediation with the Protestants at...

    This ONLY applies to women...

    Well, once on an airplane going to an important meeting, I managed to spill most of a glass of milk on my navy blue business suit. As I mopped with the all too inadequate napkin which was leaving behind a lot of lint, the flight attendant, male, presented a sanitary napkin. It worked wonders...

    Gender differences walking the Caminos

    Could Brigitte PLEASE let us know how she got her pack to 7% of body weight? I can't imagine getting that low as I struggle planning to get to 10%. 8:) Also, David , fifteen years ago my husband and I rode bikes 1800 miles from Maryland to Colorado (had to give up trans-continental ride when I...

    Tyvek and pyrethrin

    Anybody had any experience treating soft Tyvek with pyrethrin to keep the bed bugs from biting? I got two yards today with the thought of putting it under/around my sleeping bag liner, for additional warmth if needed ,and for protection from night time crawlers. The material seems like the bug...

    bed bugs 2013

    What has been peoples' experience with clothing, other items sprayed with pyrethrin? Is there residual odor? Different "feel" to cloth? Thanks.

    bed bugs 2013

    I weighed one of the fitted twin sheets from our house and it weighed over a pound. Without added pyrmethrum. Is that unusually heavy or will that be the weight "cost" of that kind of bed bog protection? Seems like a good idea except for the weight.
