    Things I lost on the Camino

    I lost my microfiber towel on the clothesline in Sarria. Could've been swiped, but just as likely forgotten. I discovered it gone the next day in Portomarin. I went to a local store and bought a new one. Due to my weak Spanish, I could only ask "Tiene usted...?" and move my arms as if I...

    Newbie to Camino...tips and tricks for me?

    down jacket - am I being ridiculous?

    Not ridiculous if you have room to spare, but excessive. I just got back, finishing late April and struggled with the same question. Ultimately I opted no as I was already overweight. I didn't need it but it would've made a nice insurance policy. I'm not an outdoorsman and I was worried...

    Class of 2013

    Greetings from Minnesota! I'm Larry and am scheduled to walk from Leon to Santiago next April. I will arrive Santiago in late April. I intend to walk to celebrate and show my gratitude to God for my extended life on this earth. My beautiful wife will join me in Sarria and we will walk hand...
