    Raincoat-Poncho

    Marianna, I ordered mine 2 months ago, using the international version of the website: Look at the upper right-hand corner of the home page. The shipping cost is extremely steep. They use DHL and the pkg. arrived in California in just a few days. I wish they sent it by slower post and charged...

    Telephone calls from Spain to Home?

    I didn't use my T-Mobile; instead I rented a cell phone from National Geographic's Cellular Abroad: http://www.cellularabroad.com/ I used it to call home (California) and to make calls within Spain. Incoming calls were free. Battery charger included. It's probably not the cheapest way, but it...

    Update from Portomarin

    …lol, Kelly. I know it’s not cool to mention Hape Kerkeling on this forum, but here’s his bit on Calzadilla: "I ... use the denim shirt for hiking and the city shirt, obviously, for the city. But here in Calzadilla, I leave my denim shirt on. Not only is it barely a city, but I’m still mad at...

Also, I am Asian-American and it was usually assumed I was from NameAnyAsianCountry. After masses in...

    That is so true! That just made me laugh out loud. Thank you. And I will definitely bring a pebble to leave in his memory.

    Yes! How lovely. Thank you. And I had a chance to view your videos on youtube.com. I looked at EVERYTHING, from the spiderwebs, flowers, to what kind of shoes and shorts pilgrims wore. I could feel the relief of the three pilgrims who were resting on chaise lounges with their feet elevated...

    Hello. Rebecca here, from Los Angeles, Calif., U.S.A. After spending countless hours reading about the Caminos and pilgrimages (and not even skimming the surface of all that's out there), I am FINALLY walking (from Roncesvalles) in June. Last June, my father died and it has been a profoundly...
