    Reflective tape and Gortex

    I have a Gortex rain shell that has kept me dry through some very serious rainstorms. The only trouble is it is black, so I'm never really comfortable walking along roads when visibility is bad. I'm thinking about putting reflective tape around the sleeves, hem, and chest areas before I head...

    Less than two months until we're on the camino. Time to get on the calendar! :) :) My husband and I will start from St. Jean the morning of Oct. 7, after a night at Pension Corazon. We're taking the Valcarlos route and plan to walk as far as the next 14 nights will take us -- hopefully Burgos...
