    Any Pilgrims in New York?

    Hey Olivares! I arrived in Santiago on Oct 19. Stayed at La Bastille, ooops, I mean Seminario Menor (quite memorable.. especially the 'Supermercado' in the basement cafeteria!), and then moved to Seminario Mayor right next to the Cathedral for the remainder of my stay. I had gotten to...

The bag was fine up until Galicia (it got cold at night when I got there in mid October) where a few of the xunta's (govt albergues) said they didn't have blankets...

    Which Osprey backpack?

    One important tradeoff with the Osprey packs.. I used the 44 on the Camino and it was one damn miserable experience. Sure, its the lightest pack you'll find outside of a small daypack, but Ospreys offered NO HIP SUPPORT for me. All of the weight was carried on my shoulders no matter how I...
