    El Caminito de Santiago en Caracas July 15, 2017

    Hola. Voy a escribir en inglés. I just got back (to Miami, Florida) from 4 weeks sightseeing in Spain. The plan was to try and walk at least a part of the Camino Inglés. NOT!! I took the bus from A Coruña to SDC: one hour. My mother and brother live in Caracas. She's 95 and I haven't seen her...

    Clothing etc ID labels

    I'm sitting here sewing and gluing clothing ID labels to my clothes and gear. (Think what some moms attached to summer camp clothing.) I got 100 for $18 at starlight labels (in the US). I chose sew-on. Unlike the old woven material kind, these feel almost plastic/paper-like so there's a bit of...

    Rain gear needed in June?

    I've read about April showers but what should I take in the way of outerwear for the whole month of June: Madrid, CI and then ? Breathable hooded rain jacket? Rain pants? Thin windbreaker? Lightweight fleece jacket? I guess the real question is what I can safely leave behind. Am I likely to...

    Beware B4 Booking Motion Chueca Hstl Madrid!

    Good hiking hat

    I have three Sunday Afternoons hats with neck capes: A pretty purple one with a long, slightly ruffled neck cape, a beige one with a longish (7") neck cape (Adventure?) for kayaking, and an olive-y green one with (5") neck cape (Sport ?) that is great for hiking because you don't have a hat...

    Unisex nylon shorts

    I usually buy men's swim shorts for kayaking because they come with built-in mesh underwear. They're also good for hiking. I've started training with them. So far, I've tried a black Adidas pair of short shorts with lining and a black Puma board short length with no lining. I'm short so...

    Shorts/Undies

    While looking at someone's packing list, I (female) came across a link to men's undershorts with a zippered pocket for $30. They work great as unisex undies. I got a 4-pack (4 colors and a printed design) from Amazon for $17!! I ordered the XXXL (I wear women's XXL for tops etc) and was...

    Spanish TV Series

    I hope I'm not breaking en protocols, but I wanted to share this info posted by kinkyone on another section in January 2015. I've just watched the 27 min CI one. Very lovely. The narration is a bit on the flowery/literary side, but the videography is professional and provides a good look at...
