[QUOTE="sillydoll, post: 19748, member: 8"] Bed bugs have been a part of the trials and tribulations of pilgrims for a very long time. This article was written by the Foreign Correspondent of the New York Times on September 3, 1899. [b]Vigo: Aug 15: It did not seem to me historically respectful to take leave of Spain without having made a pilgrimage to the shrine of Santiago. A faithful friend crossed the sea to bear me company. Hygenic pilgrim that she is, she came equipped, not with cockle shells and sandal shoon, but with sleeping bags, coffee and cereals. Many a morning, in traversing these northern provinces, where the scenery is better than the breakfast, we have blessed her for her boxes of grape nuts, and many a night, doomed to penitential beds, we were thankful to entrench ourselves against the stings and arrows of outrageous insects in those spacious linen bags that gather close about the neck leaving only a loophole for the breath."[/b] [/QUOTE]
