Ibuprofen - Cautionary Tale
When I walked the Camino in 2016 I thought I had muscle pain. It even kept me from sleeping. I tried taking Ibuprofen but it did very little for me. I tried other things that were suggested.

Luggage transport

Roncesvalles worrying
My husband and I are leaving SJPdP Sept. 19, staying at Orisson that night. I made reservations about six months ago, and it did take them a few days to get back to me. I was sent an invoice and used PayPal to pay the required deposit. I appreciate all the encouraging words I hear on this forum...- Catherine Mapes
