    Thank you, Rick andPeg!

    Botafumeiro

    We will be in Santiago by May 12. Flying out of Lisbon on May 16, so there's not much of a window for us... If we could find another Pilgrim to split the cost for us, that would be doable.

    Botafumeiro

    Does anyone know if the Botafumeiro will swing on Fridays during the 2022 Holy Year? If not, how much does it cost to have it swing, and how can we arrange that. Thanks for your help.

    Camino Frances 2022

    We will be starting from SJPdP on April 28th. We are old and slow, so you'll probably blow right past us early on. BTW, this will be the third time we've booked - we had to cancel in 2019 (family emergency) and 2020 (COVID). We're hoping this third time will be the charm! Buen Camino!

    Do they live up to the name

    I walked 500 miles of the Appalachian Trail wearing Lowa Renegade mid-high boots without a single fall or ankle twist. I then switched to a low version of the boot and fell/rolled my ankle three times the first day, with very similar trail conditions. Therefore, I am a mid-high boot wearer to...

    What's happened to the Buen Camino app?

    I checked the Apple App Store and did not see a link for the old version. Maybe only available for Android?

    We are planning our Camino for April-May 2020, departing from SJPdP on April 14th, and spending our first night at Orisson. Three of us will be walking together - Duane and Laura, who have been married for 47(!) years and Laura's brother, Mark. The three of us are from Colorado. We plan to take...

    Camiño Finisterre Bed bug warning!

    I am carrying a mini ultraviolet flashlight and plan to inspect our bunks before we even take our packs off. Hoping that will be adequate, as I puff up like a blowfish with most insect bites! ...

    SURGERY UPDATE Post #8 and 15 : in this thread to my Updated foot issues

    I'd suggest talking to your doctor about getting Platlet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections. It is possible that insurance would pay for it. If not, and you can afford to take a 2 week vacation to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, you could get PRP here. Three injections over a 12 day period would cost...

    Pillow

    We use a small fleece pillow case from Thermarest and stuff it with our down jackets to make a pillow at night. Of course we will be walking in colder weather and will be taking the jackets anyway, so this may not be an option for you.

    Beyond Grief - My Next Steps Camino

    Sorry - We are actually leaving on 4/14, not 5/14 :)

    Beyond Grief - My Next Steps Camino

    We are walking to Orisson on 5/14, to Roncesvalles on 5/15, moving at a slowish pace in the beginning, so you could easily catch us! Just ask for the Colorado walkers, Mark, Duane and Laura. We are old and will be slow!

    Beyond Grief - My Next Steps Camino

    God Bless you, Michael. Three of us from Colorado are starting on April 14th from SJPdP. Maybe we'll see you out thee.

    Foot pain before Camino - advice needed

    Thanks, Carole! I am in Mexico now, and PRP is quite affordable here ($300- USD for 3 injections over a 3 week period). I had it done in February last year, and I had great results - until i wore heels to a wedding in August. Of course I wasn't walking as many Km then as I am now... I think...

    Foot pain before Camino - advice needed

    Carole - I have Morton's Neuroma that flares up at about the 7KM point. I plan to get PRP injections next month, and if that doesn't help, and get a cortisone injection from my podiatrist a week before i leave for my Camino. I have custom orthotics with MN pads placed that help, but I need to...
