      motero99 replied to the thread Cafe con leche different this year?.
      I noticed a difference last year from prior years. I believe that more places are switching to fresh milk from the high temperature milk that is shelf safe and comes in a box. I did ask at the churreria that is close to the old Casa Ivar...

      motero99 replied to the thread Advice needed on travel from Tomar to Porto.

      motero99 replied to the thread Can I pack my small multi tool in carry on luggage (backpack)?.

      motero99 replied to the thread Topo Wearers!.
      I just don’t feel the supposed width of the Topos. On the Frances I used Vasque boots. Last year for the Portuguese the Vasques were not availabe. I switched to Speed Goat 5s in wide. The toes were not as roomy as expected. They were worn...
