    Bed bug research article

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4553521/ I found this older (2013) scientific article today about bed bugs. It is testing a permethrin impregnated product for a few different things, like killing the bugs and also repelling them and keeping them from feeding. All bed bugs are not...

    Schwab account questions

    This is for those of you who use a Schwab debit account on the Camino. Here at home in the US, I can use my debit card from a non-Schwab bank as I would a credit card for purchases like groceries, gas, dining out, etc. and not just for accessing cash at an ATM. If I use it for Hotels, they put a...

    Help me review this packing list for my students

    Hi Pilgrims, Some of you may remember that I am taking a group of 10 nursing students on a study abroad over the Christmas break. I am retiring in the Spring so the school asked me to do this with another instructor so they can keep offering the course after I retire. We only have time to do...

    A little whining...

    Air travel just isn't fun any more. I remember the excitement of the journey as a child and watching airplanes take off and land at the airport with my grandparents in the big city of St Louis. Today I am in Frankfurt on an overnight layover home to the US. I woke to find our flights have been...

    Madrid version of Pridefest 2023

    It has never been easier to cross the streets or find a free bathroom today in downtown Madrid near Atocha. We're staying at the Oxygen Hostel again. Phil still hates it, but I think it is quiet, clean, cool, and in a great location. The streets are blocked all around for the Pride activities...

    Who would have believed it?

    Walked around Santiago yesterday to go to Mass at noon, get my Compostela, and do some research for return with my students this winter. I got a blister! Same shoes and socks as the Camino this last week when I got no blisters! Only a small one and in the same place as one of my 2016 blisters...

    LIVE from the Camino Phil and Janet from Sarria to Santiago

    Done with our volunteer time in Arres on the Aragon Way. On the train to Sarria now. Stayed at the Oxygen hostal in Madrid last night in a double pod. Phil hated it because he likes to spread out. Packs are kept in a secure locker away from your sleeping pod. Extremely clean and quiet. Perfect...
