    Overtaking étiquette.

    Nearly 85% Decrease in Pilgrims in 2020

    Not March But Maybe October 2021

    My plans to walk the Camino in June 2020 with my grandson were derailed by "The Bug." If there is even the remotest possibility of hitting the trail in June 2021 we'll be there hitting the trail.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Great day tomorrow

    Mea Culpa

    I just tried for the first time to post a photo and totally messed it up. Too bad, it was accompanied by such a clever missive. Will try again later, I hope.

    The Shame of Starting in Sarria

    So, here we were on April 30, my two youngest progeny, son-in-law and I at the beginning of a six day walk from Sarria to Santiago. Yes, we booked with a tour company. Yes, we had luggage transferred and carried only day packs. Yes, we had guaranteed rooms waiting at the end of each day. I...

    Purchase hiking poles?

    I want to make the purchase in Santiago. Any suggestions as to where? Is there a second hand store where such items are sold or is new the only option? Thanks in advance. Tio

    Personally, I prefer to sashay.

    Camino Signage - Which Way to Point

    Why is it called a "12 arrow?"

    What is your 2nd footwear item?

    "Socks and sandals dilemma?" Holy cow! I really do have no fashion sense.

    AA meetings on camino?

    I've alsays used: "No, gracias, no bebo alcohol." If anyone needs to know why, I ignore them. It's just my preference. (FYI: Born and raised in Noo Awlins. Did enough in my youth to last a lifetime.)
