[QUOTE="ksam, post: 23076, member: 2476"] Dearest Sil, the last thing you have ever sounded like to me was holier-than-thou! You've sounded like a slightly older and experienced sister...happily and freely giving advice from personal experience....and allowing us to expedite our learning curve...if we are willing to learn! And I can now speak from a voice of at least small experience...When those who have gone before say keep the load as light as you can..DO SO! Joe and I got into Pontavedre earlier than our compatriots, and so had time and the determination (!) to find the Correo....even though it meant an extra 4k ! We went in ... speaking un poco Spanish...and ended up with me doing the talking w/a postal employee in German (which has come in handy on several amusing occasions!) and we shipped home several items...and left with grins from ear to ear! In the end I hiked with only two pairs of pants...three shirts (two t-shirts and a tank top) a fleece socks and towels (camping type) and a kit of bathroom neccesities, a pair of sandals, a fleece and a jacket! The most amazing discovery, and for all the ladies out there I HIGHLY recommend, my yoga pants, by Champion, were great to hike in. Black, very very light and thin, dried in a moment...two zip pockets, not full length but capri length...would take'em again in a moment! They are also stretchy which was nice when going up hill! Wore 'em on the plan thinking I could ditch em or just carry...instead I ditched the second hiking pants and kept the yoga ones! Who woulda thunk it! And on your note re language Sil, I am going on line again at lunch and finding a class at the high school or college, and I will return speaking something other than Cafe con Leche, uno, quattro el bano (sic) and cervesa! But the German being so useful was very funny! Meanwhile back at the salt mine aka ... work... Karin [/QUOTE]
