    LIVE from the Camino Third time on Via de la Plata this April

    Thank you for your concern. I had read about the pilgrim who passed away on the VDLP. My planning has taken all the things you mentioned into account. I'll be carry at least 3 liters of water everyday and appropriate food, with enough to share if someone I encounter is in need; while also...

    LIVE from the Camino Third time on Via de la Plata this April

    Albertagirl, No I meant "short of a 6-pack". I guess it's an American type of expression indicating one is not "all there". Others: a few eggs short of a dozen. A few bricks short of a pallet. I'm living proof that sanity is often overrated. I enjoy living life just a little "off". It's much...

    LIVE from the Camino Third time on Via de la Plata this April

    Our paths might cross. My "loosely planned" itinerary has me stepping out of Seville on 4/16 and walking the Casar de Caceres to Carnaveral leg on 4/28. But you know what they say about the "best laid plans". If we do bump into each other I promise you a smile, and any support you request...

    Starting Via de la Plata & Sanabres on April 20, 2023

    Don't know if you were asking me for an opinion, but just in case you were. Right now my plan is similar to your thoughts. My Thermalite Reactor combined with silk sleeping sack has met my needs. I do have a 3 season sleeping bag the is fairly compact & lightweight. As my VDLP start is still 2...

    Sanabres over Laza or Verin?

    Karin, Let me begin by thanking you for the enjoyment provided by the daily updates of your adventures. Cherish your downtime in Seville with those who matter. Personally, as I'll be walking the Seville to Salamanca segment of the VDLP for the first time starting in mid-April, your posts have...

    Starting Via de la Plata & Sanabres on April 20, 2023

    Always remember. The heaviest thing we carry on our backs is our fear. Learn from, and about, those you encounter. Have faith that it will all work out in the end; even when it's not as planned. Most importantly, laugh at the situations you find yourself in and be amazed at how well you...

    Karin, Truly enjoying your words and pictures. Clearly you are special. Thank you.

    Starting Via de la Plata & Sanabres on April 20, 2023

    First and foremost. Buen Camino, or more appropriately, for me at least, Ultreia! You've done this before. You know what brings you joy, what works for you, and what you need. My 2 cents. Mid April, starting in Seville. Shelter preference. I'd say a light weight sleeping bag liner is all...

    LIVE from the Camino Walking the Via de la Plata with New Friends

    Karin, not only am I enjoying your daily posts, I'm also in awe of your physical and spiritual strength. Keep on trucking pilgrim. You can do it with grace and style. Thanks for your daily updates. I'm planning on stepping out of Seville on April 16th, so you sharing some of what you encounter...

    Weather in March and April along Via de la Plata

    No. your experience based input is always valuable. Thank you sir. Per usual, I'll be carrying your Guide, along with using the Wise Pilgrim App for mapping when I wander off coarse; discovering new places. ;) Not really concerned about anything. Like you, I've never "had" to sleep outside...

    Weather in March and April along Via de la Plata

    Gerald, First and foremost, Thank You for everything You do for so many. Your efforts are truly appreciated. I'm planning on stepping out of Seville just after Easter. Either Saturday or Sunday. Opinion? As an 8 time Camino junkie I've had the opportunity to experience the enthusiasm that is...

    Two pilgrims rescued in Napoleon Route

    What became of the wine?

    A growing concern.

    From a 6, soon to be 7 time offender, a word of warning for the 2018 rookie class. If there is anything in your closet that you think you value now, give it to a trusted friend before leaving home. The fact is, you will soon learn that everything you truly need to be happy fits in a 33 liter...

    Backpack weight

    Andy, you my friend are a riot. If I remember correctly you will be out and about in early April. Please let me know about where you anticipate being around April 5th. I'd love to share a few laughs, and cervezas. I should be heading west in Pamplona area on the 5th. Drinks on me. All I need...

    Easter 2018

    Aaaahh. You discovered the key. The guidebook is the first of many weights to be discarded, thereby freeing your mind, body, and spirit to embrace all the joys the Camino offers. Peace & Love
