    Rehydration and electrolytes on the Camino Portugues

    When we did the CF in 2013, we often drank Aquarius (similar to Gatorade but seems less sweet) which was readily available almost everywhere. Is Aquarius available on the Camino Portugues. If not, is there a Portuguese equivalent?

    "There is no way to happiness; Happiness is the way."

    About 10 years ago I was goin through a tough time, when I came upon this quote from Thich Nhat Hanh, the Vietnamese Buddhist Monk: "There is no way to happiness; Happiness is the way." I often thought of this when I was not happy and it helped me remember that "doing" happiness is not the way...

    We will be heading into SDC on July 24 from about 13 miles out. My teens are really excited about attending the Pilgrim Mass that day. I know it will be crowded. How can I make sure we can see it and what do we do with our packs during the Mass?

    Is there a book about the Camino that my 12 1/2 year-old daughter might find more interesting than Twilight or Harry Potter? My 15 year-old son is already excited about walking the Camino, but my daughter is only lukewarm about our impending June 27th start in Pamplona. Rob

    Combination sleeping pad/ sticky yoga mat?

    Following a long hike I find that doing yoga is really helpful. It helps me relax and prevent injury as well. Bringing a yoga mat on the Camino would add too much weight. Does anyone know of a sleeping pad that can also be used as a yoga mat. It would need to be as light as a sleeping pad...
