Like.
Oh no. Is this a problem with Cash Passport. I also lost $AU120 and they refused to refund as they insisted I had authorised the transaction when it was clear that I hadn’t. There were many email exchanges I actually found that I couldn’t make... -

DInteresting! We were in Hontanas September 28, 2018, Carrion Sept. 29, and then 5 of 6 got sick and barely made it to Ledigos. We were never able to pinpoint what the problem could have been, but there's a lot of smoke for there to be no fire...

Ddbeatriceb replied to the thread Stomach Bug on Meseta.Low water levels would help concentrate any bugs in the water system that could potentially cause GI problems. I remember discussing this with my sister-in-law, a pediatrician in Catalonia, who was seeing a lot of patients with such problems one...

DYes, I heard that too. I stayed there on my first Camino and enjoyed the communal meal. I have mini-reunions once a year with the two Americans I met around the dinner table and we are still friends. Istvan drove our group to SJPdP, too, In...
