    Advice: should we attempt SJPP to Roncesvalles?

    You do know there's a newer place to stay in Orisson. I don't know the name but others on forum probably know the name.

    Camino as 17 with 18 year old friend.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Leon in lockdown

    Walking Boots Vs. Trail Runners

    Don't forget ribbon on shoes. I walked with a man that his shoes shrunk on him. At the end of the day he found out his shoes on a pilgrim that his shoes were too big. Funny for us but not for my friend. Other man's wife had ribbon and put it on his shoes. Same brand and same style.

    Forget the ice cream (can't have it) bring on the melons. I was lucky and was given slices of melon instead. To me they were better than American melons. The other walkers saw they got the short end of the deal.

    Is it worth it?

    I fly out on August 25 from Virginia to Paris. I look at this as a marathon not a race. I'm not in any hurry and not one to plan ahead, so I like your advise. I too am married to beautiful Thai wife and she also tries to tell me all. Thanks for your advise and enjoy it with your wife, my...
