    Scanning Credential and Laminating Compostela

    That sounds like a better option. Thank you

    Scanning Credential and Laminating Compostela

    @digger, I was unaware of that, so thank you. I have learned something. In the future, if I have any other paper items I will not laminate. As the saying goes, it seemed like a good idea at the time :)

    Scanning Credential and Laminating Compostela

    First, let me say I understand that pilgrimage is an inner journey of transformation and that many pilgrims place little or no post-Camino importance on artifacts such as the Credential or the Compostella. I know some pilgrims do not even request a Compostella. I respect how others walk their...

    No fear: there IS vegetarian food in Santiago

    Two other vegetarian restaurants I enjoyed last October were Entre Pedras and A Corre Vexeta. Check days and hours they are open.

    Hiking up O Cebreiro in the Rain

    Last fall I was at the place where you go left for the trail or stay on the road. A local man saw me and told me to stay on the road because it would be safer in the rain. Barely saw any cars. A wet day but I made it safely. Next time I’d like to try the trail.

    Merino wool shirt

    I bought three long sleeve lightweight REI brand merino wool shirts. They were quite good and comfortable. Less expensive, and if you use a member coupon (new ones coming March 15), they are even cheaper. As someone said, I wore a second shirt on chilly mornings and that was warm enough. Didn't...

    Memorable Places

    The Silent House in Castrojeriz. It is on the Camino on the right. Sorry I don't know the address. Look for an information sheet posted on the outside near the door.

    Thanks for the report.

    Lisbon Hostel Terminal 4 - any feedback?

    I also noticed a Lisbon Hostel Terminal 3 near the airport but not as close. Looking more closely at Google Maps I see the Terminal 4 hostel is a few blocks away, still a short walk.

    Lisbon Hostel Terminal 4 - any feedback?

    Thanks, that helps. On my first Camino I almost always reserved directly with the albergue, so I forgot about booking.com and the ratings it has. And my pilgrim focused mind also forgot there are hostels for everyone, not just pilgrims.

    Lisbon Hostel Terminal 4 - any feedback?

    Hello, I'm trying to get some feedback from anyone who has stayed at Lisbon Hostel Terminal 4 which is located at or right outside the Lisbon airport. After I walk the Portuguese and return to Lisbon from Santiago in late August, my flight home is 7:20 AM so being able to walk to the airport...
