    Why you should not walk the Camino del Norte (or at least not until you have read this post!)

    Your first 4-5 points sound like good reasons to PREFER the Norte. Just sayin'

    Got limited Camino time? Leave out the last 110km!

    Btw let's stop assuming that walking for religious purposes automatically means you care about the Compostella, or that someone walking for other reasons wouldn't care about it.

    Got limited Camino time? Leave out the last 110km!

    As I've said before, if I ever do the Frances again, I'll stop at Sarria and bus to Santiago. If that leaves me unfulfilled, I can always walk to Finesterre.

    Camino Dress Code :-)

    Not defending the picture taking behavior, but I doubt God cares much about dress. That isn't to say dress can't be an indicator of respect (it can). But for a pilgrim walking 500 miles to Santiago....... let's just say that outweighs wearing shorts to church by a few thousand miles.

    Camino Dress Code :-)

    If you're on the Norte this weekend you sure as heck might. Or, I suspect, Navarra. I live in Donostia and it's cold wet and windy today. Third day in a row. And expected to be that way a couple days in a row. A week ago it was 99•F/37•C

    After Santiago

    The Basque Country, especially Donostia-San Sebastian, would easily get my vote. Then again, I loved it so much here that we worked out a way to get to live here 1/4 of the year, and plan to live here full time as soon as possible. So I'm biased.

    Cellphone plan

    Needing a passport for a SIM card has always been true but it's still really easy to get one. Not a problem at all really.

    Eurovision Song Contest - Right Now!

    Nope. Eurovision and the UK have both said that Brexit won't impact Eurovision. I know this because I read an article interviewing people who changed their vote from stay to leave when they found out leaving wouldn't impact Eurovision.

    Cellphone plan

    You can make calls through whatsapp. You can even call non-whatsapp numbers.

    Cellphone plan

    The best cell phone plan is not to take one IMO :) As a more serious answer, its going to be tough to find a cheap european plan that will work in France AND Spain. You might be best to use your american plan in france (as little as humanly possible because of cost) until you cross the border...

    Why Spaniards eat late

    As someone who lives in the Basque Country in summer and New Orleans the rest of the year, I vastly prefer the Spanish schedule, and we try to keep as close to it as possible when living in the US (hard with a 5 year old and american school schedules). I have a long list of reasons for...

    Walking with 12 year-old son

    I met a 10 year old French girl on her fourth Camino She did one at 6, 8, 9, and 10. It was her typical summer holiday.

    Walking with 12 year-old son

    Walking is a natural motion. Throwing a baseball, especially pitching, is one of the most non-natural motions a body can make
