health care paperwork
We visited clinics twice on the Camino. Once when my daughter had a fever and once when my mom badly twisted her ankle. In both cases, they took our information, photocopied our passports, and treated us at no cost whatsoever. With my daughter, we did give them our insurance card for private...- toddlermom

Martin and Emilio got me started
We live in Richmond, IN. There's also a professor at Earlham College who leads a group on the Camino every few years. Between the 3 of us and her alums, there are lots of former pilgrims in RIchmond! Good luck with your planning & buen camino! Shannon- toddlermom

Hip replacements
I have no information about hip replacements on the Camino, but my mom walked from Burgos to Santiago with knee replacements last year. She used 2 poles and JacoTrans to transport her pack and keep the weight off her back. She occasionally hopped on a bus when she needed a break. We met a...- toddlermom

Recommendations for womens walking shoes
In preparation for our May 2012 Camino, I bought a pair of Merrell Moabs. I tried them on, walked around REI for 30 minutes and thought I’d love them. I was wrong. I walked a couple of miles every day through the end of January. My feet were fine right up until I put on a pack. As soon as I...- toddlermom

12 year olds on the camino...2013
Re: Bringing a Child Question It can certainly be cold at night that time of year, especially in the higher elevations. We often stuffed our daughter into a sleeping bag within her cart when we started out in the mornings. We'd strip down and pack up the bag by mid-morning and would be...- toddlermom

12 year olds on the camino...2013
Re: Bringing a Child Question TrishAlexSage- I think it's great that you will be walking next year! I suspect that you and your daughters will find it considerably easier terrain that what you are used to in the Whites. Think more walking, less hiking. The folks you will encounter in the...- toddlermom

Re: Bringing a Child Question Tindora- Sleeping. In my experience going to bed at the same time as your toddler is not a problem! Chances are good that you will be exhausted and if anything, your baby will have more energy than you will by bedtime :) We were (unfortunately) the last ones to...- toddlermom

May 2012 Camino with a baby
We just returned from an amazing month on the Camino where we walked from Burgos to Santiago with our 2-year old daughter. It was a true family trip with 3 generations making the pilgrimage together. There isn’t a lot of first-hand information available for people who are thinking about bringing...- toddlermom

May 2012 Camino with a baby
Thanks for the advice and the confidence! Our daughter is a good traveler and loves to be outside, so we have some reason to think this might work. We'll get on making reservations soon though. Here's hoping for a dry May :)- toddlermom

May 2012 Camino with a baby
This May, my family plans to walk El Camino Frances from Burgos to Santiago. Our group consists of me & my husband, my 60+ parents, sister, and our 2-year old daughter. We know it will be a challenge to have our toddler on the trail, but our family has been through a lot in recent years and it...- toddlermom
