    Hi - I read we should bring a pillow case. Would it be to make our own pillow or put over the one's supplied? Do the albergue's supply pillows? Thanks

    Best Shoes?

    Hi - I am struggling between wearing running shoes and trail runners. REI folks say I should wear trail runners because I am carrying a pack, 10 pounds. However, my Asics running shoes are way more comfortable. Do you think I will be OK on the trails without the heavier lugs on trail runners...
