When I started my camino on April 1st I was hiking with a working cellphone and two hiking poles. By the time I got near Astorga I also had two safety whistles: a small one attached to my pack and a seriously super-loud one hanging around my neck & very visible.
Thanks Maya, it was super cool meeting y'all -- glad I had my hat off that night or you might never have introduced yourselves. I knew this hairdo would be good for something other than clowning around!

Nate, just so you know I deleted my tweet at those 2 guys when I read your first note that the person had been located. Hugs to you, Tina & Cedric most of all. I'm in Villavante now, staying in Hospital de Orbigo tomorrow (Thursday), Astorga on Friday & Saturday. If there's ANYthing I can do for...
