    Greeting Follow Peregrino's.

    Justin, we are too many miles apart to meet up beforehand but I wish you a buen camino and might see you there if you find yourself on the CF in May 2016.

    She needs to mask? Those must be some stinky feet!

    We're not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy!

    What exactly is this "snow" phenomenon that non-Floridians bring up from time to time?

    Rain much around here?

    Comment by 'BamaVol' in media 'March 20th St Jean Pied de Port'

    I would swear those were US football goalposts at the end of that playing field.

    Was he raising money? I can't read his sign.

    Top Ten Musicians I want to listen to on the Camino Frances...

    Yes, Randy Newman wrote the song that 3 Dog Night also recorded. Try YouTube for Randy's version, just him and his piano. Most of these artists are well past 60, or gone from this earth but that's what I like to listen to. I've got an iPod full - can't even weigh an ounce. Well worth the weight.

    Leave tomorrow- lost my credential

    It sounds like you have nothing to worrry about. All my travels begin with minor jitters. This is yours. Then you are underway and things get better and all the small things you worried about are revealed as ... small things. Buen Camino

    Dogs - how to avoid / repel them?

    Mum, you're probably right but don't underestimate the power of a dog's nose. It is thousands of times keener than ours. This is excellent advice. Still, Baden-Powell told us to be prepared. I would think most peregrinos already carry whatever they need to stay safe: hiking poles, a...

    Dogs - how to avoid / repel them?

    I am surprised that dogs would misunderstand the nature of your beast based on sight alone. I have a deaf and blind dog who gets by amazingly well on her sense of smell alone. My theory is that, unbeknownst to you, dogs have been piddling on Jamilla's legs/wheels and leaving a scent that...

    Paulo Coelho didn´t complete his Camino

    As much as I like to argue, I wasn't trying to start an argument. I don't think it was 100% fact-free but agree that licenses are taken in even those books that are presented as non-fiction. I have gladly added to Bryson's bank account as I find him very entertaining.

    Paulo Coelho didn´t complete his Camino

    Whoa, not to go too far off topic, but Bryson did claim to hike most of the AT. Granted it was for the purposes of writing about it but that's what the man does for a living. So he section hiked and took a taxi from TN to VA. This was hardly the book that established him as a best-selling...

    Where else can I ask for stamp if..?

    Is there any indication from the outside which bars, restaurants, cafes or churches will provide cellos?

    Paulo Coelho didn´t complete his Camino

    Bill Bryson didn't walk the entire Appalachian Trail either, but I still laughed at almost every page of "A Walk in the Woods".

    You missed Steve Earle! Tell me it was an oversight, please.

    Top Ten Musicians I want to listen to on the Camino Frances...

    You'd better believe I'll be listening to music! The first 10 songs I will listen to on my camino - haven't finalized the order yet. All remind me why I'm walking. Blue Sky - Allman Brothers, the studio version -this one puts me in high gear Four Strong Winds - Neil Young's version of the...

    A family got out of a taxi...

    Thanks for sharing. We know it's not all wine and roses, but you seem to have grabbed a handful of thorns. Your daughter has added to her her trove of stories to tell back home. I'm sure it's good to be past it. Better luck going forward.

    Storing luggage in Madrid or Santiago prior to Camino

    According to their website, the service is still offered in Barcelona so you might want to check the Madrid airport website. If it's anything like BCN, get ready for sticker shock. 6 euros a bag for the first 2 hours, then 10 euros a day per piece. Whew!
