    Water bottle tube adapter availability in Europe

    We live in Oregon and get them in two days (give it take) from Amazon. Do you know your address that they could ship to you?

    plantar fasciitis - with 7 weeks to go

    Ask for a cortisone injection. You will be pain free in days. I’ve had to have 2 over two years since all of the above didn’t help. I’m so sorry you are going through it. It’s painful.🥺

    Finding Accommodation in SJPP without Communal Meals or Public Speaking

    That is where we are staying in May.🎉 Although, I just heard they don’t have meals. Kind of bummed about that, but not a deal breaker.

    Hi friends! Is there a way for two people to start together at SJPP but then separate and one of us “hops on to” the Del Norte route? Is there a “fork in the road” or detour that connects the two routes near’ish the start? We would then reconnect again in Santiago. Thanks everyone, Buen Camino!
