    Am I too laid back?

    I made no reservations and always found a bed.. That was from SPDP. You will find people who have to know ahead where they are going and exactly where they will stay. Someone told me we all have different disabilities. I was older with blisters. She was younger with anxiety over where she...

    Treat needed in Leon

    David gives a great massage. He is located next to a pharmacy on the way in. There is a sandwich board on the sidewalk. His website is mesajescaminodesantiago.com. I was a wreck when I visited him. My feet had infected blisters. He is calm and patient and really helped me!

    What is mine is not yours!

    I walked in May/June. I lost a few things but I can't imagine anyone stealing odd socks! Pilgrims overall are good people.
