- antepacem reacted to Paintboy2's post in the thread I Found All The Plastic Bags In Spain! with Haha.
  
  After a peaceful night at the beautiful Blai Blai Hostel in Zarautz, we were all awakened at 5:00am by a young man repacking his huge pack, in the middle of the floor, with his bunk light on, wrapping every item in a freshly shook out plastic...

  I love my Smartwool merino gloves. They weigh almost nothing and are perfect for those chilly mornings and evenings. https://www.smartwool.com/en-ca/wool-apparel-and-socks/wool-accessories/merino-glove/SW018131.html

  Like others have said, go easy on yourself. This is not "your fault". Our bodies are our masters, and we forget that all the time in our normal lives. One of the gifts of the camino, in my opinion, is that reminder that, no matter how in control...

  @Ladybaguette, firstly, welcome to the forum. Secondly, stop knocking yourself for something that was not really within your control. Injuries happen, it's how we respond to them that matters. As I am still recovering from having broken my ankle...

  Yesterday I began stage one of my Camino Frances from SJPP to Léon! I finished at Roncesvalles after 9 hours of the challenging but absolutely gorgeous hike from SJPP. However the intensity of the trail caused a tendinitis flare up in my knee and...

  Just looked it up, cuz I live in central Portugal and haven't seen this. It's a Cocacola product. It looks as if it's much more common in Spain than here in Portugal. Maybe just getting introduced.

  Aquarius is readily available on the Central. I was just there and drank a LOT of it. I don't remember it being there last time I was there (2018), so maybe Aquarius has expanded their reach...

- antepacem reacted to MarkEveleigh's post in the thread Selling fully stamped credentials for €30 with Like.
  
  It's interesting to read that this still goes on. In the Middle Ages there was a lucrative business in forging credenciales (for criminals and other ne'er-do-wells who had been condemned to go on a pilgrimage). I'm amazed that people will still...

- antepacem reacted to bullingtonce's post in the thread Pilgrims Behaving Badly - Is the Camino Frances full? with Like.
  
  No news here. Pilgrims are humans; this says everything. Camino's spiritual nature does not override human nature--never has, never will. And we have people here in California who intentionally set fires, even with its inherent dangers. A...

- antepacem replied to the thread Pilgrims Behaving Badly - Is the Camino Frances full?.
  
  Nerd Alert: Lots of early church fathers (Gregory of Nyssa, Gregory of Nazianus, Basil of Caesarea, John Chrysostom, etc.) criticized early Christian pilgrims for wanton behaviour, gluttony, drunkenness, and failure to appreciate the true purpose...
