    Bedbugs on Sarria-Santiago this year?

    Ah Bed Bugs. I walked last Setp/Oct and was very fortunate not to encounter any bed bugs. However, I new a number of people who had been bitten by these critters at various times and at various places and they were not very happy about it. I do not like using pesticides so I tried using Lavender...

    Florida Camino Group

    I'm on Merritt Island and would enjoy meeting with Peregrinos past and future. I walked the autumn of 2013 and am considering walking in the spring of 2015 on either the Camino Frances or the Norte route.

    Poncho? Or not poncho?

    I walked with a Sea to Summit poncho in Sept/Oct. Walked through a lot of rain. Crossed O'Cebriero in a driving rain. The poncho has side snaps but the rain still gets through and my pants were soaked. Also the poncho can ride on around on you and expose you more to the rain. Pilgrims with the...

    bed bugs 2013

    Hey Irene, hope all is well. My wife gave me 'doTerra' Lavendar oil. It's a high quality oil to my understanding. Primarily it was to help me sleep and just in case I started to smell after a few weeks. After speaking to people about bedbugs, I heard that some essential oils may repel them. I...

    Vegetarian albergues/restaurants on the Camino Frances

    I just returned from my first Camino. Eating well took much effort. When asking about vegetarian meals I recieved some wierd looks and responses from 'You're Italian?', 'No' to 'Vegetarian is S--t food'. I also was offered French Fries with cheese, carrots and lettuce. French Fries with eggs...

    bed bugs 2013

    Stomach illness and Bed bugs, it all sounds too familiar. I tried to practuce very good hygiene but being in such close contact with so many people puts you in a very vulnerable position. I experienced some stomach illness and could not figure out where it came from. I did not get any bed bugs...

    Where are all the Americans???

    This is an interesting thread. What or who is an American like? I was born in Germany of Polish parents. Went to school in the USA and lived most of my life in the Caribbean on an island (~50 Km sq). I must be an American but I see myself as a citizen of this planet living now in the USA. I...

    Camino in September 2013

    Hey Paul. My wife and I just moved to Florida USA from the Virgin Islands where I lived for 33yrs. But I was born in Germany and my relatives live in Poland. I've lived in the tropics for quite a while where the temp rarely drops below 22 C. So I'm trying to get a handle on clothing. I've lived...

    Camino in September 2013

    Hey Paul, I'm planning to begin walking in early September also. I'm 63 and was thinking that stopping at Orrison would be a fine idea. I understand it's a very pretty area with a great view and may just be a very good first stop. I believe it has just 18 beds. I plan to go with the flow, not...

    Thank you to everyone contributing to this page. You all have been very helpful. Has anyone tried growing sprouts while hiking? I plan to start in september hoping to enjoy the harvest.
