    LIVE from the Camino A new threat to my pilgrim tolerance and zen-like state of relaxation

    It’s not good for your feet to shower before a hike. They must be completely dry.

    MMDD Guide Book vs La Carte

    Hey, thanks! I just dug a little deeper and found that La Carte weighs 4 1/2 ounces and measures 8 1/2” x 5 1/4”.

    MMDD Guide Book vs La Carte

    Ok. Good info, thank you. I don’t think anyone who has responded has the MMDD La Carte. I believe it is just the graphic info without the text. http://www.levieuxcrayon.com/la-carte-gr-65-miam-miam-dodo-voie-du-puy-via-podiensis I will order it and post a review later. in case anyone is...

    We're not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy!

    It might be a wet start for us. Hoping the upper route stays open!

    We're not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy!

    Hi, I'm Lisa and I'm from Kansas City. I'm walking from SJPP to Burgos, starting April 15th. I'm hoping the snow will be gone by then, fingers crossed! I got snowed out of Napoleons Route in 2013. I will be staying at Refuge Orisson on the 15th and hope to meet some of you folks along my...

    my Camino april 2015

    I got my plane ticket sorted out last night. (I'm suprised the prices had not gone up since it is only 17 days away). I will be coming thru Madrid on the 14th and plan to be in Orisson on the 15th. I have heard the Napoleons Route pass is still closed, I have hopes of it clearing by then.

    my Camino april 2015

    I missed it in 2013 too. But got as far as Orisson before having to switch to the Val Carlos route. The scenery to Orisson was lovely! Going to try again this year...maybe. I have a reservation at Orisson on the 15th, but so far no plane ticket...

    Madrid was interesting since I had never been there. Customs was a breeze! I jumped on a bus which took me to the downtown train station. From there I walked 2 1/2 blocks to an early check in at AC (Marriott) . Decided to try to stay up all day since I didn't feel jet lagged. Went out...

    Class of 2013

    So like I said above, I went in late April via Madrid, Pamplona and on up to SJPP, then walked back thru Pamplona to Santiago (arrived June 4th), flew back thru Madrid. Next year I am considering going in the fall, via Paris. I'm wondering about the bed bugs and rain in the fall, anyone know?

    Class of 2013

    Hey there Gen, did you go back, and if so, when?? You gave me some good advice back in the spring of 2013, I went and can't wait to go back. Next time, I will do as you did and go thru Paris then maybe a train. I met no one headed for SJPP via Madrid, but others met folks coming from...

    Sunrise in Spain right now.

    Oh, I forgot to mention. Although I never used the borrowed headlamp, when I left home I did put fresh batteries in it. When I got home 6 weeks later, the batteries were dead. Note to self, after checking to make sure everything works, remove the batteries at least until you get to Spain...

    Sunrise in Spain right now.

    I took a headlamp when I started in late April from SJPP. Never used it. But then I was usually the last one out the door in the morning. I think the folks who walk in the dark either are concerned about the heat, concerned about getting a bunk, or have planned a very long walk that day. I...
