    A plea!

    Two brothers & a toilet shared by 4 (mom got her own) that clogged easily. My dad followed my fiance into the bathroom to show him how many sheets to use and how to fold them.

    Class of 2019

    It will be a Christmas 🎄 Camino for me in 2019! Arriving in Santiago on Dec 16, then starting from Sarria on Dec 18. Ending with a few days in Santiago and Madrid before heading home on the 29th. I wanted to experience it without the crowds & with the Christmas magic in the air.

    Arrrgh. . . It's Too Red. Will It Be Like Carrying An Easter Egg?

    It’s mostly black. Although the red fabric does remind me of Old Man Pedrotti’s (senile great uncle twice removed) underpants from the late 60s. 😆 Sorry, couldn’t resist. I like the red, but not being a big red (or any one color long term) enthusiast for my own back, I would go for the grey...

    Cathedral Closed...Is the Camino still worth it?

    Most definitely! Excellent ritual.

    Christmas eve / Christmas day in Santiago

    I checked rooms at Parador just for grins when I first started planning, but ruled it out. When I stay several days somewhere I prefer the cozy charming feels like I live there bookings. Indulging in a lavish dinner, on the other hand, is totally up my alley 🤗 even if it means waiting til 26...

    Cathedral Closed...Is the Camino still worth it?

    Loosely quoting the pastor interviewed in Six Ways to Santiago, ‘if you go to Santiago hoping to find Him, you won’t find Him there unless you take Him with you.’. I hope you find in your Camino what you are truly seeking.

    Christmas eve / Christmas day in Santiago

    Thanks for sharing that! I imagined a magical evening of great food and entertaining stories when I read your post. I saw another post about a celebratory dinner at Parador near the holidays that definitely peaked my interest. Christmas was always my favorite time of year, but somehow it...

    Christmas eve / Christmas day in Santiago

    San Martin Pinario sounds like a great holiday treat! I think there will always be options available. It may just be a matter of booking early enough. Very special Christmas

    Christmas eve / Christmas day in Santiago

    @natefaith How early do the shops start closing on Christmas Eve? My Christmas wish is to get my Compostella dated Christmas Eve, so the plan is to allow 6-7 days Sarria to Santiago and walk into Santiago early Christmas Eve.

    Rucksack size

    @davebugg wondering on what European airlines you’ve been able to carry on your Mariposa? I have been checking KIWI for AA and BA flights, Houston to Madrid. Their international and domestic limits are the same & easily support the size of both the Gorilla and Mariposa. Since I am also planning...

    Christmas eve / Christmas day in Santiago

    @DebR I haven’t booked my Dec 24-28 lodging yet, but have been looking at studio apt style lodging near the Cathedral in case holiday meals are sparse. Also thinking of picking up some holiday treats the last day or two of hiking just in case. I humbly invite you to my temporary Santiago abode...

    Where in Pamplona could I print a bus ticket?

    Another thing I remembered just now is that the bus driver has a list of everyone who purchased a ticket.

    Where in Pamplona could I print a bus ticket?

    When I was there I asked the hotel to print it. A lady at the bus station was able to get a ticket at the window in the bus station by giving them the ticket #. My hotel called the bus station to ask, printed mine just in case.

    Learning a language in a year - documentary of/by a language professor

    @Colette Z Did you find a class or how did you acquire your languages? The problem with finding language parents in my area is that they mostly speak Tex Mex.
