    Engagement/Wedding Bands

    This is not as artistic a solution, but would probably be quicker: Opt for simple wedding bands but have the image of a shell inscribed inside the ring, along with dates, sentiments, etc.

    Doing the Camino using a pedelec

    That's the genius of my evil plan!

    Doing the Camino using a pedelec

    No electric- or gas-powered transport for me. It's palanquin all the way! Still trying to find bearers -- may be a problem. :D

    Worrying Trend

    Deni, my advice is to push through, tighten your belt and think with hope of the tables in Dublin. (apologies to Tolkien)

    Mosquitoes

    This product does not prevent mosquito bites, but if you get one, this will stop the itch immediately and help prevent infection from scratching. I've used this on bites from the legendary Chesapeake Bay mosquitoes, and it works. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001G7QRC6/?tag=casaivar02-20

    Bad taste?

    Parrots have been found by researchers to be as smart as chimps, dolphins, and 3-year-old human children. Google Dr. Irene Pepperberg and her research subject, an African Grey parrot, Alex. Astounding! We can learn a lot from parrots.

    Bad taste?

    There are many reasons why obesity is a major health problem in the U.S. Fast-food franchises are one of those reasons. As an occasional thing, a BK or McD meal won't hurt you, but too many Americans rely on them to feed themselves, and even worse, their children. The food is cheap, addictive...

    Real Pilgrims

    For the sake of my point, my 14th century pilgrims would have already gotten over the whole modern transportation wonders and moved on to the finer points of making a pilgrimage. ;)

Like you, the communal albergues/hostels do not appeal to me. I plan on staying in hotels as often as possible. A...

    How much should your donation be ?

    While traveling in Nicaragua and observing the poverty there, I resolved to always be as generous as I was able to be, no matter where I go. Pay as much as you can afford--no more, no less. Never ignore a generous impulse.

    Real Pilgrims

    A pilgrim from the 14th century would be howling with laughter at this thread. A true pilgrim, he/she would say, after walking to Santiago, is only halfway finished with the pilgrimage. He would then have to walk back home. No option of grabbing a bus, a train, a plane, to get back home like the...

    Ticks and Lyme's Disease

    Did you know ticks can be romantic? o_O Lyrics from country song "Ticks" by Brad Paisley: 'Cause I'd like to see you out in the moonlight I'd like to kiss you way back in the sticks I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers And I'd like to check you for ticks."
