    Spanish tattoos have metallic ink?

    we have had some wonderful threads on tattoo souvenirs of the Camino, and some looking for a tattoo in Santiago. During a recent conversation with an MRI technician, he related that tattoos outside the USA often use metallic ink which can cause burns during an MRI (This is different than my...

    WHY would you do a winter camino?

    I am not asking to be flip or judgemental, and many of you experienced souls have chosen to do winter caninos. So can I ask WHY? Many albergues are closed so choices are less and farther between. Merino wool would never dry outdoors ( and in my fall experience, not even in the dryers...

    Mis-use yellow arrows

    I am deeply indebted to which ever groups mark the Way with yellow arrows. They were life savers on my Camino. But a disturbing trend is happening that I would like to know if we can change. It was mildly hard for this newbie to accept and adjust to albergues using formal blue signs with...

    LIVE from the Camino Gratitude for the forum who walked beside me

    You didnt know you became a living entity did you? The wisdom, experience and information you all provided ahead of time made this Camino a success. But just as important (more?), was your presence beside me on the Way. Walking alone meant there were times of feelings and decisions/ thought...

    Little fox house?

    I had ear marked a plan to regroup at the Little Fox House should it have been do-able. However, Priscillian ? Tracy? has no recent movement on the forum, no contact info or way to start a conversation. I am not on Facebook so can't pursue that And I can't find her through other searches. Is...

    LIVE from the Camino Yikes where did the time go!?

    I've been on the Way for over 3 weeks now and am less than 2 days from Sarria. I have been present for each day: the jangle of cow bells, rushing waters, doves, owls and birds, the funny clouds and hippies in La Faba, the sweat rolling down my neck But it feels like it had only been a week...

    Please clarify compostela

    I've been reading up on the SdC to muxia/ Finesterre Camino ( Lucky me I've got time!) But I'm confused after reading the threads. Some posts have said you only get a compostela if you do the loop- Santiago to Muxia or Finesterre to Santiago. Since it appears the return to Santiago isn't...

    LIVE from the Camino Renamed this thread many times

    Began with Tears, then, When do you know you're done? part of me knows this is the physical challenge after 10 days on the Camino. Part of me knows that the mental third is beginning already. AND that no one can predict or decide for me. But batting ideas around would help I had rare L4-5 disc...

    LIVE from the Camino Everything you taught me is working

    Then you learn again. The temperatures of 93 (33c) and 98 ( 36) degrees are quite draining. Bad foot cramps and thigh cramps, not related to fatigue, convinced me to get electrolytes powder and Powerade. The albergues at Orisson, Roncesvalles, Larrosoanna ( San Nicolas) Cizur Menur (...

    deep breath how's this for flexible

    well, my foot print on the Camino was set to begin September 7, 2016. Upheavals at work, an associate leaving a month earlier than original told, busy season and lack of locums, meant I was seriously considering cancelling my trip for the better good of the business and everyone. Well my...

    where you stash your money

    In light of recent posts on thefts, this is more of an opinion pole on the options. We know you have recommended carrying cash and cards on you at all times. I do not have any skirts etc that would have a deep hidden pocket like some, but i do have 1 pair of zip off with a couple of smaller...

    Waterproof socks

    several people have mentioned waterproof soxks as their solution to preventing wet feet in non waterproof shoes. I gave several questions: How hot are they? Wouldnt they generate self defeting sweaty feet? Do they conform well enough to the foot to prevent hot spots? What brands have you liked...
