Keen Women's Newport H2 Hiking Sandals Leather size 9 (EU 39.5) Bison Brown. I used these on hot days for hiking nearby trails when training for my caminos. Very comfy! Still have a ton of mileage left in them. TPU stability shank helps protects against trail rock uncomfortableness.

Dang it all, time to thin the herd. I have priced these with free shipping (Macabi shipping is currently a minimum of $7.30) and lower than the recent sale prices at Macabi. I am keeping my favorites because I've found I like longs vs regulars, I find that I wear the same ones over and over so I...
I've decided that (ok I decided 2 years ago but never posted) I like my long length Macabi skirts much better than my regular length. I have the following I want to trade (NOT for sale)
1. Size Medium in Charcoal, regular length for a Size Medium or Large in Charcoal Long Length (after all...
We received a matted 8"x11" camino photo professionally printed and matted in white (shows up as creme colored in my photo) for Christmas. Problem is we've printed (and framed but not matted) various photos of our own of like subject matter and this is too much of a duplicate! The photographer...
Husband wore it once before he did his Offa's Dyke walk, in May, figured out it was too small and said sell it!!! Brighter red than the photo shows. Armpit to armpit measurement is 21". Weighs 143 grams. Perfect type of fabric for your camino!
$15 includes shipping. US only, PayPal only, sorry...
I'm in the middle of gathering info on the Ingles from resources here and my copy of "The Northern Caminos" by Whitson and Perazolli. Since returning from Astorga in April, I'd been thinking I would resume my CF in Ponferrada next time. Now I'm thinking, and since I am somewhat of a contrarian...
Noticed the down throws at Costco are back (nothing like buying down when it is 40C out) so I picked one up. 152cm x 177 cm (60" x 70") 449g including stuff sack. I was able to smash the sample one in stuff sack at Costco down to the size of a large grapefruit (small cantaloupe). Very slippery...
A month ago (already? really??) I concluded my partial camino, this year walking the meseta. I look back on it and have nothing to complain about except maybe that I wish I'd had more time to walk! (just a few years short of retirement and then I can take my time). I kept myself in the...
Pre packing for my flight home in the morning and listing what items were never used even once. Not a big list! 1. Gaiters only because I was a few days ahead of the torrential rains and mud. But yes it rained. 2. Spork that I didn't take last time. Gave away my yogurts to hungry pilgrims, 3...
In the past two years I've bought a half dozen different styles of neck wallets including two I got yesterday at REI to try out (and will be returning today). Last camino I used a neck wallet worn around my neck and just dropped into my shirt. In Madrid I dropped it down into (still around my...
Selling due either to weight loss (yeah!!!) or non-use or duplicates. Prices include shipping. PayPal only US only (due to the high cost of shipping) . I can ship up until mid-day on Monday April 4 and then not until April 21. If you need better pictures I can (but we know what convertible...
Looking for someone that has a lot of first hand experience with the Astorga ALSA bus terminal!!! First am I right that the ALSA office is kind of a block from the bus terminal (but on the same street) and the ALSA office has limited office hours but the terminal itself is open 24/7? Is it an...

I'll be staying in the cathedral area for the night. Last time I made good use of my little knife corkscrew combo but this time I plan to attempt to carry everything on (last time I sent through my poles and my knife as luggage). Where's the best place in Burgos to purchase an Opinel? I've...
In 2014 I planned 3 days in Madrid to museum hop, city tour and was able to add a half day trip to Toledo. Had a fantastic time and was glad I built in tourist time. This April's camino I've built in time in Madrid to go to El Rastro ->the Sunday flea market. I have a full Monday and am looking...
I've been working up my 15 day plan for my end of April 2016 CF2, Burgos to Leon version. I have already built in 1.5 days into the end in Madrid to visit places I missed in 2014. No extra time in Burgos (my end place last time) aside from any time I have after taking a train up from Madrid...
I'm starting my planning for my continuation of the Camino Frances in April of 2016. (well actually I started my planning while I was walking my first camino a year ago :)) I only have 2 weeks I can walk this time, aiming at mid-April start and probably Burgos to Leon.
This coming Sunday is the 1 year anniversary of my flight to Madrid for my CF as far as Burgos. I am always thinking about what I'll pack different on CF Burgos to Leon or Ponferrada to SdC in April of 2016. I've changed out very few items and could basically leave tonight with what I have and...
