joramos, in reference to the “AlertCops” app, 5 out of 5 people who reviewed it on the app store complained of not being able to receive a verification/validation code to their US fone numbers. Does it require a Spanish fone #/SIM card/eSIM like airalo, Holafly, Masmovil, etc. to work? Thanks.
I know what it’s like to be woken up in the middle of the night. I’m a very light sleeper. The faintest light (even with my eye mask puesto), the slightest noise and bingo! Wide awake and ready to go. It’s a curse, I tell you. So, with that in mind and me being the courteous type, what’s the...
For sure! Everything you are exposed to, from classes to apps to music to soap operas and news programs (often one in the same🥳) will help. ¡Buen Camino!
We do all kinds of prep work in anticipation of our Camino adventures. So, if you have the time and “ganas” before your Camino, and the option is available, how ‘bout going the old fashioned route and enrolling in a class? Tech has its place when walking, for sure, but IMHO you cannot beat the...
And let’s not forget that there are those who like to walk with headphones, earbuds, boomboxes or whatever. I do not, and will not change my ways when walking my Camino. I have enough music running thru my head to last a lifetime of Caminos, prefer to take in the sounds of my surroundings...
Yep, gotta keep up with the abbreviations so as not to confuse the easily confused, como yo. I like the jargon/slang term used by the US military (and others?) that refers to a kilometer as a “klick”. I dunno, something about the sound of “I walked 25 klicks yesterday…” appeals to me🤷🏽♂️
Shared E-scooters were voted off of Parisian streets in August 2023…

Some of my Canadian friends in México don’t like being called “gringos”, believing that that term should be reserved for us who hail from entre las dos fronteras, la de Canadá y la de los Estados Unidos😁
How true, konnie. Unlike many from the US who are, sadly, geographically challenged🤓
During my time 🎶“south of the border, down México way”🎵, I’ve been called Americano, gringo, gabacho, güero to name a few. Estadounidense is a term I’ve used and has been used in reference to me, mostly in dealings with officials of the Mexican government, like cops, la migra, the tax folks, and...
Thanks for the primary source review about Ivar’s storage/shipping service. As far as DHL cutting off your plastic wrapping, it must be a customs’ issue. I guess they have no sniffer pooches to check for contraband👀
Definitely an acceptable hour, but if you still feel uncomfortable imbibing at that time, just remember it’s after 17:00 somewhere. Cheers! Santé ! and ¡Salut! wherever you may be.
DeepL also gives alternative translations for a given sentence, which is useful in that what I say here in México might get a quizzical look, a giggle, a guffaw, and a “you aren’t from around these parts, are you?” comment from a local Gallego😂
C clearly has it wired as far as her shoe choosing routine is concerned, as well as starting at REI if you have them/or they deliver to where you live. I went to my local REI yesterday (Friday) intending to buy 2 pair of Hoka Stinson 7 trail runners, but they didn’t have it in the 2nd color that...
I’m also interested in the Via Podiensis and found the YouTube channel “Days We Spend” to be both informative and entertaining. The couple that make the series did the Le Puy-SJPdP walk and then continued on to Compostela.
