- GPeachy reacted to David's post in the thread Camino by skateboard? with Like.
  
  Anyone who thinks negatives re seeing a skateboarder on Camino seriously lacks joy. It would be a really fun thing to see and a good conversation to have with that young man. Though - skateboards have really small wheels so I think that it would...

  @BPG2017, I'm another 'go for it' vote. If your son is already using a board for transport then he knows it's possibilities and its limitations. He's also going to be well aware of how to ride around/near pedestrians without inconveniencing...

  I agree with @henrythedog that he’ll be carrying it virtually all of the way. However, I, too, would encourage him to bring it as he could ride it around towns and villages at the end of each walking day. I’m sure he’ll meet a number of other...

- GPeachy reacted to isawtman's post in the thread Can I get ice for my knee after I walk? with Like.
  
  Maybe you should take a steel bottle such as a hydro flask. They are known to keep ice for long periods, so whatever ice you find during the day, you can use at night.

- GPeachy replied to the thread Municipal albergues' WiFi-Camino not working for most pilgrims.
  
  It might be worth it to get a SIM card. This worked well for me. For example, Orange offers one that gives you 100GB for 20 Euro for 28 days. Vodafone has a number of options from 100GB for 15 Euro for 28 days up to 190GB for 40 Euro for 28...

  Once your blisters heal, consider using paper tape on the areas you've had them. I've been using Leukopor brand whenever I hike or do a long walk in my hiking shoes. I have not had a blister since I started using it.

  I eat 2-3 pain au Chocolats a day on the Camino. I eat 0 a day when I am not walking.

- GPeachy replied to the thread Blogging.
  
  I didn't have a blog when I walked, but I wrote a little update every day on Facebook for my friends and family. Now when I look back at those posts, it almost seems like a little blog. The posts also come up as memories sometimes, which is nice.

- GPeachy replied to the thread Are passport copies accepted at albergues?.
  
  Regarding the US passport card, this is from the US Dept. of State. Pretty clear that it is not for travel to Europe. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/need-passport/card.html The U.S. passport card is a wallet-sized, plastic...

- GPeachy reacted to gml's post in the thread October Camino - shorts? with Like.
  
  I've walked three caminos in October and was glad to have lightweight convertible pants with legs that zipped off above the knee. They're a little dorky, but very functional! Most of the time, I wore them as shorts.
