    Walked into Santiago this morning.

    My wife and I just walked into Santiago this morning. We started in SJPdP to Pamplona to San Sebastian to Oviedo and then here to Santiago. As we walked around this morning we stopped and had a visit with Ivar.

    Not everyone happy about pilgrim/tourist pressure.

    The last time I was in Santiago there were tours from a cruise ship with more than 200 tourist.. in town. They were there for several hours and the cruise paid for the swinging Botafumeiro in the cathedral.

    Any thoughts about bed bugs?

    Silk bedsheets work. As was said before. Bedbugs hitch a ride on other people's packs. The albergues do thier best to keep thier places safe and clean.

    Packing List : Food - What food/nutritional items are in your bag, when you leave home ?

    I drink a lot of water. When traveling by air I bring an empty Life Water bottle into the check through TSA. And then refill it before I board the plane. Then I carry it on my Camino. If it gets unusable I replace it in a grocery store. The bottle safe on weight.

    Packing List : Food - What food/nutritional items are in your bag, when you leave home ?

    Most overseas flights provide meal as minimum as they are. We have flown out of Canada and the U S and this has been the case. We do take a few travel snacks but usually do not consume them during the flight.

    My pet-peeve: Selfies

    I agree with you. I enjoy watching hiking videos I certain individuals because they don't do the selfie thing. There are those that put out videos that I have to do with some of their own personal issues and how the Camino has helped them and I will watch those because of the personal...

    St. James gets a face lift?

    And who says that God couldn't use that mass to draw the secular or unbeliever to Him. Give God an opportunity to do what He does best.

    Really Dumb Albergue Question. Sorry.

    I always take clean close to the shower. One of the reasons is that sometimes I wash the dirty clothes after I shower rinse them out and then hang them to dry and I put on my clean clothes.
