  Day 7: It’s foggy again as I set out this morning but it isn’t nearly as thick as yesterday, and at this point the fog has become an inseparable part of this camino — and of this mystical land. By 11am, the fog clears and it’s sunny for the rest...

  ops... we don't wear rings! :confused: The paradoxical thing if they will ever deny it, is that on the night of our wedding my wife and I slept in a hostel... 😆 We married in NZ, actually, in total solitude: just the Justice of Peace and her...

  Hello, fellow Calgarian. I walked the VdlP in two parts way back in 07 & 08. It was my first camino and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn't want to be around lots of people either (as you said in your first post), but enjoyed seeing others when I...

  I think the Via de La Plata could be great for you, given what you wrote and that the weather will probably be better in the south around that time. The Mozárabe is similarly located but the problem there is that by the time you connect all the...

  I’d say that you do your journey how you see fit and if you visit the places where stamps can be given before and after your bus journey, and it feels right & fun, then go for it! If you are doing it for spiritual or religious reasons then...

  Take as much as you need. As we don't know how long stages you do on a day. That's very personal some have enough with one litre others need more. Try it out now at home, hike a stage and count the usage of water. Don't forget sometimes there are...

  Pilgrim Patricia reacted to Pilgrim9's post in the thread The price of coffee in Spain and the perplexing economics of it with Like.
  
  So, might there be a market in North America for a chain (I guess) or even just one independent bar-café duplicating the ambience, decor, equipment-and-furnishings, and menu of Spanish bar-cafés of the type that are frequented by working- and...

  a little off-topic, but you reminded me of a famous cartoon by Bruno Bozzetto, a popular Italian cartoon writer, which makes fun of the differences between us Italians and the rest of Europe. There is also a part dedicated to coffee close to the...

  Pilgrim Patricia reacted to Rick of Rick and Peg's post in the thread Insoles causing heel slippage with Like.
  
  I'll get grief for this I'm sure. On my first Camino I was getting knee problems. I paid attention to what could be causing the problem and it turned out to be pronation. I wadded up tissue and placed it under my insole to provide arch support...
