    stevelm1 reacted to arfajajc's post in the thread Holed Up With a Nasty Cold with Like Like.
    Have been walking my first Camino and loving it, until coming down with a nasty cold in Puente La Reina, with a bad headache, sore throat, deep chest congestion and developing cough. The pharmacist in Puente La Reina was very helpful in stocking...

    stevelm1 replied to the thread Vigo the happiest city in Spain.

    stevelm1 reacted to Anthony Rocco's post in the thread Liner Socks with Like Like.
    My wife and I regularly train new walkers. We always say that the three most important items are shoes, socks and backpack. We make no recommendations; they must suit the walker. Feet can be so different, even the two feet of our own! If you like...

    I think your Solomons are fine. If they aren't pretty new, they may not last a long Camino, so think about that. I don't wear liner socks. I wear midweight Darn Tough and Smartwool socks on the Camino year round.

    This 13+ minute video is from a 2013 (11 years ago) program of the American TV program 60 Minutes. While much of the Cathedral has been completed since 2013, 60 Minutes shows a history of the Church and Pope Benedict's consecration of the Church...

    I have posted videos that folks in Europe could not watch because of music copyright laws. I call Sagrada Familia a beautiful monstrosity. It appears to be a mix of many styles, some quite congruent, but it is still lovely to look at.

    I just read a news story that confirms this beautiful structure will be complete in 2026. There may be other construction going on around the cathedral for many years, but the towers will be done in 2026. I was there in 1977 and it was amazing...
