    Greeting Follow Peregrino's.

    Justin, we are too many miles apart to meet up beforehand but I wish you a buen camino and might see you there if you find yourself on the CF in May 2016.

    She needs to mask? Those must be some stinky feet!

    We're not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy!

    What exactly is this "snow" phenomenon that non-Floridians bring up from time to time?

    I would swear those were US football goalposts at the end of that playing field.

    Top Ten Musicians I want to listen to on the Camino Frances...

    Yes, Randy Newman wrote the song that 3 Dog Night also recorded. Try YouTube for Randy's version, just him and his piano. Most of these artists are well past 60, or gone from this earth but that's what I like to listen to. I've got an iPod full - can't even weigh an ounce. Well worth the weight.

    Leave tomorrow- lost my credential

    It sounds like you have nothing to worrry about. All my travels begin with minor jitters. This is yours. Then you are underway and things get better and all the small things you worried about are revealed as ... small things. Buen Camino

    Dogs - how to avoid / repel them?

    Mum, you're probably right but don't underestimate the power of a dog's nose. It is thousands of times keener than ours. This is excellent advice. Still, Baden-Powell told us to be prepared. I would think most peregrinos already carry whatever they need to stay safe: hiking poles, a...

    Paulo Coelho didn´t complete his Camino

    As much as I like to argue, I wasn't trying to start an argument. I don't think it was 100% fact-free but agree that licenses are taken in even those books that are presented as non-fiction. I have gladly added to Bryson's bank account as I find him very entertaining.

    Top Ten Musicians I want to listen to on the Camino Frances...

    Paulo Coelho didn´t complete his Camino

    Whoa, not to go too far off topic, but Bryson did claim to hike most of the AT. Granted it was for the purposes of writing about it but that's what the man does for a living. So he section hiked and took a taxi from TN to VA. This was hardly the book that established him as a best-selling...
