    Remember Heather, it's not normal to serve on a ship that they sink on purpose! Submariners :confused: are not normal! so the stories they told are probably true. As for me, I was a fleet sailor and served on greyhounds. One of our jobs was to look for and sink Subs. How did you get a...

    Food on Camino Portugues

    My favorite food in all of Europe was, by far, the bread! :) Our bread here is made to last for weeks. We have nothing like Europe. :( Give me a piece of bread with some ham and or cheese and I'm a happy camper.

    Heather, it's the Camino! We all smell like Eau de Horse and sometimes Eau de the other end ;) and no one cares.. The cleanliness of ones washed clothing is, I guess, a state of mind. To my mind, if I washed them or went swimming with them on, they are clean.:D

    Heather, I monitor the weather in Santiago and sorry to say the weather picture is not good. Looks like rain or sun with rain showers for the next 4 days. Hope you got that poncho and umbrella. Be glad it was the Achilles tendon and not plantar fasciitis. The latter is easier to treat and...

    The homeopathic store here only sell wild mountain weed and I don't have any use for it. Have a safe and sane Caminho adventure.

    It Sorry, I'm quoting a recent TV commercial here in the states. It's a electric cart/wheelchair. In my opinion it's the leading cause of death of senior citizens today.
