    Good wishes and fast recovery to you! Cruz de Ferro was a special place for me.

    SJPDP budget friendly places to eat

    A knife is a most useful purchase, especially with a cork screw.

    Women over 60 who DON'T take a sleeping bag...

    I admit that I started out with an ultra light sleeping bag on my Camino in mid Sept of 2017. About 10 or so days later I left it in an albergue because I found it to be way too warm to use, and just used my sleeping bag liner. I was perfectly comfortable. Now, I was 60 years old that year...

    Daily Distances v Risk of Injury for those who are not exactly Fit or Slim

    Last September I walked the Camino from St. Jean through to Santiago. It took me 6 weeks, I averaged about 20 km per day, sometimes more, sometimes less with the occasional day off in Burgos, Leon, and on or two other places There were a few days when I took a bus to avoid " mule killer"...

    Would you stop at places that lack the Camino hospitality?

    These places have expenses, and depending where you are in Spain, and how dry the year is, water may even be rationed. Even here at home, when I use the gas station rest rooms, if I am not buying gas, i buy a package of chewing gum or maybe a newspaper. It costs little, and beats the heck out...

    Too cold to walk in October? Too deserted for a woman alone?

    Fear not, I walked the same route and the same time last year. The crowds are a tad thinner but still lots around :) You will find a "camino Family" and will watch out for each other all the way.

    CF - Albergue Kitchen Etiquette?

    Very true! There is usually, olive oil, rice and pasta available in the kitchen, also some minimal seasonings like salt and pepper. No need in buying it again.

    Horse wagon for Peregrinos

    I have heard of a similar service out of Leon. Any body else heard of it?

    I was one of the noisy bag rustlers in the am

    I can't help but think that somehow, somewhere, there is going to be a "life lesson" here.
