    Securely Storing Valuables While Showering

    No. Not in my two caminos.

    Any gyms on CF with day passes?

    We do CrossFit at home in Texas so I took this pic of my friend doing an overhead squat in 2017 leaving Logroño with her 22pound backpack on. We sent it to our trainer!

    Poem

    Just very lovely. Thank you. I felt those feelings, too, but not in such beautiful words. Muchas gracias, Lisa. Buen Camino!

    All-ages walk

    I liked to listen to what the youngsters were talking about to each other. Then I would laugh and ask questions. Many times I would see them down the line and they acted like I was their long lost friend! I was amazed at the sincere comradery. Just leave the judgement behind and remember being...

    Pre-Camino Travel Ideas

    Be sure to notice the beautiful train station in Toledo before just running through to get outside! It’s absolutely gorgeous and would be a lovely sketch!

    Best earplugs

    I’ve slept with a loud snorer for forty years. Go to an audiologist (doctor for hearing aids) and get fitted for custom made earplugs. They aren’t cheap. I paid USD140, but they are wonderful. When I walk the Camino I sleep with a tiny net bag tied to a ribbon around my neck so that the moment I...

    Roncesvalles Albergue

    I’ve stayed at Roncesvalles twice and eaten at both places for dinner and both were good. I prefer Casa Sabina for the whole trout , eyes and all. Delicious! Good comraderi too! Skip breakfast there and stop at the first place you pass to eat. (Less than an hour). Wonderful meals! Buen Camino!

    Camino question

    On both my caminos I found the China stores (those dollar type stores run by Chinese people) in the slightly larger villages were always happy to take my large bills even with a very small purchase. One manager said to me... no problem, we have lots of money. Then she gave a big bright smile!

    Too ambitious?

    I’m 71 and just finished my second Camino Frances this year. I carried my 18 pound pack all the way, but I stop for café con leche in almost every village. It’s my reward. I averaged about 20 km per day after the first week. Just take care of your feet and drink lots of water. Good for you for...

    First Camino

    My friend and I, both 70, just walked our second Camino Frances this year! It was even more wonderful than the first one. Buen Camino. I am envious!

    One week in.. Logrono

    Darn. We are in Logroño tonight too but at Albergue Logroño. It’s nice and close to Laurel street for tapas but wish I’d checked out Winederful! Maybe I’ll see you in Nájera!
