    LIVE from the Camino The massacre of a dear resting place.

    Aneleraz, buenas 🙋🏽‍♂️…entonces, por lo que Ud. dice, ese tipo sí, es un prepotente charlatán, hablador, mitotero, que destruyó ese lugar tan querido por muchos peregrinos. ¿Él es dueño de terrenos por ahí o qué show? ¿Ese güey tiene palancas con los autoridades, y es por eso que él cree que...

    My new backpack from Gregory

    Thank you kindly for the details🤙🏽 I’ve been practice packing and walking with an older REI Traverse 30L with @4.5-5kg of weight, not including water, some snackies, meds and toiletry stuff, and have felt pretty good afterwards. And there is still room for the things I didn’t include. However...

    Yeah, thought so. Thank you for your response. Buen Camino!

    My new backpack from Gregory

    BTW, there were some concerns raised in the REI comments section about the Zulu 35 maybe being too big for an aircraft’s overhead compartment, depending, of course, on how stuffed you stuff it. And I refer here to a long-haul, trans-Atlantic size plane, not smaller aircraft common for flights...

    My new backpack from Gregory

    Very glad to hear you like your Zulu 35. I recently got a great deal online from REI (I’d previously done an in-store fitting) and the pack is anxiously waiting for me at my sister’s. I’m looking forward to test packing it and doing some walkarounds in anticipation of my first Camino sometime...

    LIVE from the Camino Coastal route with 2 kids

    What a wonderful adventure for your family, an unforgettable journey and something you all will treasure forever. I’ve sent the link to my daughter to plant the seed. I hope it bears fruit! ¡Buen camino! 🤙🏽

    Meltdown in San Sebastián!

    Leave only footprints

    Pack it in, pack it out. Simple really.

    Using AI to help you plan

    I just prefer using books and maps that I can flip thru and hold, and sure, the internet to an extant. Oh yeah, also people like those on this forum add greatly to my knowledge about my Camino, thank you very much, intricate. Generational gap? Meh…Unfamiliarity? My head isn’t buried in the sand…...

    Boots or Hokas for the Central Route

    Who knows? I wouldn’t be surprised if in my case it was a combination platter of my feet, the way I walk, the shoes, the lacing of the shoes, the tides, if the moon is in the 7th house and Jupiter is aligned with Mars🤷🏽‍♂️. Vamos a ver…😃

    Boots or Hokas for the Central Route

    Ah ha! I take it you refer to the inside lining. If so, I had the same problem with a previous pair of Oboes and my last pair of Hoka road walkers. I did the same with the ol’ duct tape standby repair. And after watching a couple of YouTube vids and picking my friendly neighborhood REI shoe...

    Boots or Hokas for the Central Route

    Hmm. After going to my local REI and trying on Speedgoat 5s, Challengers ATR 7s and the Stinson ATR 6s, I got the Stinsons as the toe box felt a little roomier. So, Robo, do you recall where on the shoe they first began to fall apart? Thanks…🤙🏽

    Rethink HOW and WHEN you walk the Francés - strategies for walking during busy times

    November does indeed look like a great time to walk for all of the reasons you mention. Thank you for the vidéo. Buen Camino

    What’s the likelihood of flights from USA to Paris being cancelled in August due to French strikes?

    I agree with you 100%. I’ve flown Paris direct from Mexico City as well as LA, Dallas and the DC area, and I think your plan is spot on. If you have the time and “las ganas” to do the Paris route, why not? I would. I will. Then another time I may throw myself a curveball and try flying into...

    RETHINK walking the Frances

    So, señoritas, señoras y señores “moderadores”, dontcha think it’s time to put this baby to rest? I’m a bit tuckered out from all the back and forth…😵‍💫

    RETHINK walking the Frances

    Well said, Woody66. A very diplomatically delivered response that highlights what this forum is/should be all about - sharing a sense of community between folks who have walked, are currently walking or are, like me, planning a Camino. You (as in “ustedes”) who have so much experience in walking...
