    Ice Cream

    Had a delicious strawberry ice cream in a little shop in Santander, but didn't run across ice cream much on del Norte. Coca-cola was my cold, sweet indulgence.

    Host gifts

    I'm a glass worker, and made a bunch of shell shaped beads, and other random shapes and colours. :) Gotta get started on my next batch for 2017!!! :D

    New to Camino, any suggestions for the best route for geology?

    The flysch cliffs of the Norte are beautiful. Take the GR alternate route after Zumaia for the best look at them along the coast (I can't remember the number of the GR route, but any tourist office will have tons of info for you.) Here's one of my photos from this past July.

    Camino Angels

    Walked my Camino this July. After a long, hot, difficult first week of walking (waaaaaayyyyy too much for my out-of-shape body), I made it to Bilbao. There was a huge music festival going on. I learned from the tourist info people that there was no accommodation left in the city. Everything was...

    What's the Difference between a Pilgrimage and a Long Walk?

    Ambrose Bierce's definition of Pilgrim was quoted in Phil Cousineau's book "The Art of Pilgrimage" as being "a traveler that is taken seriously". :p:D (Honestly, I like this thread. Muchas gracias, Rob!)

    Pilgrim, were you injured on your 500 miles??

    That song always makes me think of this beer ad... :D :D :D

    What is a good book to read about a journey on the Camino?

    I'm re-reading "The Lord of the Rings" - Frodo's journey will make mine (eeek, three weeks away!) look like a walk in the park! :D :D :D ;)

    What Do You Do When You Are Not Walking?

    I wish my highschool history teacher had been as cool as you... mine was the stereotypical 'blah-blah-blah'er with a voice like a duck. :rolleyes:

    motivational quotes

    Hahaha! Thanks for all of your (sometimes not-so-) motivating words! :) The sense of humour on this forum is right up my alley. :D

    motivational quotes

    Thanks, MendiWlker! I'm going to write this on the last page of my journal!

    motivational quotes

    I have my journal ready to go, and have been reading "The Art of Pilgrimage", which came into my Camino journey exactly when I needed it. So I've been gleaning powerful phrases and ideas from it and copying into my journal to take with me on the Norte this summer. Do you have any quotes or...

    Collective nouns on the Camino :D

    Oooooh, I love "a constellation of pilgrims"!!!! Good one, Arn!

    Collective nouns on the Camino :D

    A trip? A troupe/troop? "An amble of walkers" is listed on a collective nouns website (http://www.ojohaven.com/collectives/), as is "a blur of bicyclists", lol! I really like the billow of ponchos! :D

    New Year. Day one. Start Counting everyone!

    180 days for me! Here's a date-to-date countdown calculator for all those groaning about math: http://www.timeanddate.com/date/duration.html :P

    The truth about bed bugs?

    Some people don't react to bites at all, so you could be bitten and never know it. I'm one of those lucky. We dealt with bedbugs while living in an apartment building - not fun. I'm not too worried about them on the camino - I'll spray before I go, but as others have said: I'll use my energy for...

    Hostelling International membership?

    I'm going through the CSJ guides for the coastal route, and I've noticed (so far) at least one albergue requires a membership to Hostelling International. Has anyone NEEDED an HI membership on their camino? Do you think it would be a good idea to get one? I will be walking in July/August Camino...

    Wish me luck...

    Buen Camino! All the best to you!
