    Waking up in the night

    I had some upper bunks, but I msinly had lower bunks. Don't worry too much on that score. I am not a through the night sleeper at home, but on the camino I slept very well even with a bathroom visit. Being really tired helped I think. Buen camino.

    Foot Problems Post Camino - What Did You Deal With?

    On the CF in 2015 I developed plantar fasciitis after Castrojeriz and it was so painful! I took buses and my husband was able to finish on foot. We walked into SdC together, we just had different caminos. When I returned home (US) I bought a FUTURO Night Foot support. I wore it every night...

    Sleeping bag liner or sleeping bag for mid august 12 day camino?

    Used silk liners on CF late Aug. thru mid-Oct. Fine with additional albergue blankets 3 or 4 times. Buen Camino!

    No explanation needed

    OK, I must admit jealousy ... 9 times! Probably not a good emotion on the Feast of St. James. Seriously, I am so happy when people get to do a camino! It was a real blessing for my husband and for me.

    I probably won’t do this again

    At home I have sleep issues, no sleep apena, just wakefulness. On our 35 day camino on the CF there were occasional snorers, yes, but nothing like the original writer describes. Nothing! On the camino I was so tired after a 16k day sleep was never a problem. I believe the letter writer is...

    Wheelchair Friendly Sections?

    You may find the documentary "I will push you" interesting. It is on YouTube. I hope getting a credential does not become too big of a deal. Just do "her" camino and you will all be blessed. Buen Camino!

    What was the hardest part of the Camino de Santiago?

    For me, SJPP to Roncesvalles was incredibly difficult. Hubby and I were 69 and 71 and we had walked a lot in preparation. We recall it as "Awesome Awful"! The early September weather was perfect and the views were soooo beautiful! We have no regrets, only perfect memories of crossing the...

    Depopulation In Spain

    Thanks. Excellent information.

    Depopulation In Spain

    Demographic winter where the birth rate is low. I believe in Spain as a whole it is 1.3 and 2.2 is necessary to sustain population. In rural areas depopulation just sticks out like a sore thrumb.

    Santiago Nativity - made in Galicia (updated with ARTIST info)

    Very neat. I have a slightly similar set from Mexico.

    My Camino Francés

    Absolutely lovely! I was taken back to my own CF in 2015. Thanks!

    Opinions back home

    Ah, just tell the folks at home they can follow "your blog" each day. Then do a blog. My hubby and I were 69 & 71 and never left unsafe, and we were rarely alone... others just passed us by. Go, go, go! It was just more than awesome! Buen camino!

    Getting from Pedrafita to O Cebreiro

    I took a taxi up with another perigrino cuz I had plantar fasciitis. Just loved O'Cebreiro so much. Enjoy! Buen camino!

    Portrait on the altar today?

    Jose Maria Escriba lived during a very difficult time in Spain. I've always thought his message about santifying your daily life right were you are was great. Seems similar to what the camino asks of Perigrinos each day... do your best, treat others well, etc.

    SJPDP via Santander/Bilbao

    We left SdC via bus for Santander where we relaxed for a few days. We then took the ferry to Plymouth, UK and it was a good way to process our camino. Nice way to travel too.

    Foot and ankle strengthening exercises

    I had PF doing the C.F. in 2015. I was fine from SJPP til Burgos, then the pain became progressively worse. I did intermittent bus trips which allowed my husband to keep going. Not what we planned, but that became "my" camino. We both made it to SdC, but... differently. The pain really was...

    Walking or biking with a 3 year old very active child

    I like the idea of a "shorter" walk/bike camino with your child. It is a great was to give it a go. Biking on roads IS of concern, so you are aware of that. If anyone is concerned about a child being in the alberques, please, don't worry. A child will be bone tired like the rest of us...
