    What’s doing at the Pilgrim Office...

    I stood in that line for two and a half hours a couple weeks ago Friday. So many people had all their gear with them as we inched along the meandering line. I thought it might be better to give each person a number when they enter and provide benches to sit on until their number is called.

    Sleeping Bag?

    Hi Roxey. I walked part of the Camino in mid-April 2014. It was cold at night through Galicia and I'm glad I had a lightweight sleeping bag rated for 40 degrees F (5 C). It only weighed about 1.25 pounds (560 gr) and was well worth the weight.
