    Constipation!

    Re: Constipation!!!!!!!!! two easy things 1. Drink 1.5 - 2 glasses of water when you arise.. wait about 30 minutes & don't try to do too much moving around until it works it's magic, sounds crazy and is a lot of water but in about 15 - 30 minutes you will have luck. Not only that, it...

    New York Times article on Hape Kerkeling

    Even if it the reasons for walking the Camino (ie popular book) look superficial, the Camino will do it's work Try not to be too judgmental (not always so easy) Any reason to convene with your spirit is a good reason Buen camino!

    What's your blog address?

    I want to thank all of you who have put up your blogs wow, what a log of reading, but I am thoroughly enjoying reading them. I can relate completely to The Savini's Pilgrimage to Santiago, as I walked it with my daughter 5 years ago, and had so many of the same feelings walking it with her...

    After hiking footwear?

    Just Finished Walking,

    The manhole covers are another story. My daughter and I walked the Camino 5 years ago and about half way through we realized we had been stopping and reading/looking at all the water, gas & manhole covers and started taking photos of them. As you know, you look down a lot when you are...

    Just Finished Walking,

    I just finished walking the Camino Frances about 10 days ago, it was my second time, I am 57 years old, and walked with my friend Pat who turned 70 on the trip. It was full of just about anything you could conjure up in your imagination about what walking for about 40 days would do to one. It...

    Water Intake

    It's been suggested to me to drink a half to liter of water in the am right after you get up to get you started. (I do this every day) A great side effect beside hydrating you, is that it will make you regular - you will really be surprised at how great this works. It seems like a lot of water...

    Compeed

    Compeed

    Re: Compeed, omnifix, duct tape the biggest problem I found was walking too far too fast - that's when I got blisters last time, but my accupuncturist/natural healer says to lay down with your rear against a wall & your feet straight up for at least 20 minutes at least once on a long day & more...
