Hi all,
My husband and I walked from SJPDP to Santiago in 37 days, ending in late May. We were in the group that got floods, snow, rain for a week, etc. so quite an experience! Anyhow, I am finally getting around to putting away all of our hiking gear and realized that I went a little crazy on...

I'm wondering if any...
Hello,
My husband and I are doing our first Camino in early April. I have been breaking in a pair of lightweight waterproof hiking boots but whenever we walk (we live in northern CA and have done some fairly intense hikes, including Lassen) I always find myself leaning towards wearing my...
