    Phew!

    Meseta Blues Ahh yes... this is where I beat my palo over a huge rock in a moment of meseta madness, in an attempt to bust it into a million pieces. The palo prevailed... didn´t even dent the danged thing. My hand on the other hand was sorely bruised. I ended up tossing the palo onto...

    ALBERGUES/shipping containers

    Refugios It just seems that for the price of these containers, the government could sponser locals to accept boarders or as Ulysses said, to renovate old barns and buildings and save the culture and history of these places. Also, they could seriously consider raising the prices of the...

    ALBERGUES/shipping containers

    Oh Peter, to me this is like saying, "Well darn, my front tooth has a rotten spot on it.... I guess I may as well just let the rest of my teeth go black!" I am hoping that Spain will maintain a sense of pride, culture, and beauty. I would rather see them spend money on preserving their...

    ALBERGUES/shipping containers

    My opinion For me, I'd sleep outside on the ground before sleeping in a shipping container. Part of the magic of the Camino is the history, architecture, and culture which includes the wonderful old, and even run-down refugios where one finds rest. The idea of sleeping in plastic or...

    Spending night outdoor?

    Outdoors I've asked the same question on several forums. I've gotten replies from several people who have slept outdoors. YThere are not a lot of campgrounds. You just have to take care where you camp, be very low-key, and be sure to clean up after yourself. You probably cannot have a...

    The Camino rush

    Mad Rush Joe and I have already made a pact that we will NOT get caught up in the Mad Rush you describe on our Camino starting September. We have loosely planned our trip, going so far as to identify those towns/cities where we believe we'd like to spend more than one night. Other than...

    About the albuergues, hostels, etc

    Refugio List Hey Leslie... was it you that had information on an auberge to book in SJPP if we wanted to stay more than one night? I'm getting fried making all these arrangements ::::laughing:::

    Bugs

    What bugs might we encounter in September/October on the Camino? Do we need to bother carrying mosquito repellant or other such things?

    Ciberbus to roam the Camino this summer

    Delivery You know, it wasn't THAT long ago (well, maybe it was) that we had this type of delivery in, guess where? Los Angeles, California! Yup. When I was a girl, we had a milkman, a breadman, a meat man, and a vegetable man, and gosh, don't forget the ice cream man! All of them made weekly...

    Cost of pilgrimage and more...

    A whole new way Thanks for your posts Santos! Because of them, and the responses, I learned a lot! Although I'm not a fan of beans... :::chuckle::: I guess it's a matter of letting the Spirit speak to you when it comes time to leave a donation. My entire trip is being financed by...

    Food on the Road

    Cool Beans Cool Beans, Leslie! maybe I'll see you on the Camino. Depending on time, weather, and how well I hold up, we may continue DOWN the Camino to Lisbon.

    Food on the Road

    Leslie - Pounder Hi Leslie, I'll be traveling BEGINNING September 1st and through mid October. What do you think about the fleece? The Pounder is a sleeping bag made by Marmot. It weighs one pound and packs really small.

    Food on the Road

    Re: Santiago-Today “When you walk across the fields with your mind pure, then from all the stones and all growing things, and all animals, the sparks of their soul come out and cling to you and become a holy fire in you”. Sil, you have made me cry. You have no idea what your quote means to...

    Sil & Carvalho/Carballo Immersion heater.. that's right! Sometimes with this MCS I get brain fog and forget the simplest things. Hey Sil, did you read my post about the Whiz for Women? We do seem to have a lot in common.. maybe I'll meet you someday on the Camino! If I make this one ok...
