    Rachael Call home. Last heard from in Astorga.

    Canadianpilgrim2008 there is no way to vet the information you are telling us but assuming what you are telling us is true I have several questions. How often was your daughter calling to report back to you? Was she was calling back on a very regular basis, say every day or every other day...

    Warning: Improper behavior reported between Astorga and Rabanal

    I apologize if this subject has been discussed but the whistles built into the sternum straps of many backpacks are, for all practical purposes, useless. Buy yourself a whistle like the ones used at sporting events. You can get metal or plastic whistles. String it around your neck on a short...

    John Lennon's 'Imagine' along the Camino way.

    Religion and believing or not believing in a Creator are two different things. Also if the Lennon lyrics are noted as such then it is not a copyright violation. Now if I try to profit from the words of John Lennon then that's different. If I sing Lennon's songs for money or publish his music...

    Are 100% cotton T shirts the answer

    What I'm taking out of this conversation is that everything is relative. What one should wear depends basically on three things a) climate and/or immediate weather conditions, b) allowable weight and c) how much money you are willing to spend. So based on that ...... 1) high temperatures, low...

    Start Camino Primitivo on 13/05

    Liz and Vito. I'm anxious to hear how your caminos go. I have tentatively planned a Primitivo trek in early Sept. but haven't made a final decision. If I do go I will be carrying Liz's great guide. As a matter of fact I have it printed out right beside me as I type. Liz you did a great job.

    Publicly humiliated for snoring

    I can understand that people might be annoyed enough to clap or shake the bed of an individual that was snoring. What I can't believe is reading about incidents where someone slapped the snorer. In one instance I read about the victim was basically assaulted. A drunk clamped his hand over the...

    Need pilgrim feedback on a pilgrim house in Oviedo

    I'm getting late into this thread but would like to chime in. Q1 - "Would you stay in a refugio that is a 15-20 minute walk from the cathedral, a 10 minute walk from the train station, out of the center of town (nice garden in back with great view of...

    Please shut up!

    Never heard of the Green Tortoise Co. But I'm old and walk as slow as a turtle, hence my name. If everything works out with work I will try the Primitivo starting roughly 08/29/15 or 09/05/15.

    Please shut up!

    Deb, I've done some hiking in the Sierra Nevada in California and love it, but I have to try a camino or two. I think the good will out weigh any bad by a long shot.

    Please shut up!

    Makes me think about it. Hiking in the American West seems so much easier. :)

    table etiquette

    I have never walked a Camino, but planning one on the Primitivo this Fall. Theoretical situation: It's early in the morning. I've stopped at a bakery and bought some bread or pastries. Farther down the street is a bar that has opened and I want a cup of cafe con leche. The bar doesn't have...
