    Home again

    Well here I am back in the snows of Ontario after a month in Spain. I have learned a couple of things from the last Camino. Number one is that the national bird of Spain has to be the common house fly. I once again learned to eat with one hand and flap the other hand wildly around to protect...

    I remember reading that someone had stopped at Albegue Gambino and found it closed. I cannot find the original posting. I remember that it was to open in April. Does anyone, perhaps the original poster, know when in April it will be open.

    March sleeping bag

    Greetings all. I walked from Roncesvalles to Sahagun this past October with a 10 degree C down bag that served the purposes very well. I am planning on returning to Sahagun in late March and walking to Santiago with an April finish. The weather sites, I have consulted, seem to indicate that...

    Bed bug spray

    Greetings all. Just sorting through equipment for my trip and found that my spray bottle of Permethrin is missing some how. Amazon and a couple of other sites will not ship to Canada, even though that is how I got the last bottle. My question is to all you Canadians or other nationalities who...
