    Music that goes through your head on the Camino

    I am woman by Helen Reddy got me through a lot of hard spots. Sometimes it was on my iPod, sometimes I just sang the bits I could remember. Though the songs that annoyed my walking partner were all of my bible school songs, I am a promise, We love, and there's always if you're happy and you...

    Descent from Alto Mezqueriz and Zubiri

    Not to put you off the camino, but this was the worst day of my life. I thought several times "If this is what it's going to be like for the next 33 days, I'm going home" I hadn't reached my full camino mindset yet. Like so many others it rained the whole day I did this stretch. The concrete...

    things to do in Muxia

    If seafood isn't your thing, it's not mine, though I did eat some spectacular seafood in Muxia, go to La Sirena, and have the Raxo. It's the best I've ever tasted, and the woman that cooks it is just an adorable old lady. They have spectacular seafood too, try the Pesebres (I think that's what...

    Camping roll mat - to take or not to take

    I'd really like an opinion too. I bought a mat, because I will be walking the camino frances in June and July (hopefully arrive in Compostela by July 15) I don't think I would need it on the earlier legs, but what about in Galicia. I don't want to bring it, it's light but if I don't need to...

    Boots

    So far in all of my times wearing the boots, walking hasn't been a problem, I don't feel ANY spots rubbing, or like they might rub in the future. My concern is, is it just going to take me some time and discomfort to get used to wearing boots instead of mary janes, or are these not the right...

    Boots

    Hola chicos! I'm not a very athletic person. In fact the hiking boots (la sportiva FC 3.0) that I bought for the camino are my first hiking boots ever. Normally I wear mary jane style shoes, so I'm trying to make the adjustment to wearing my hiking boots, because obviously I want to be used to...

    Hola Chicos

    Crissy I think that you should do what you want to. I'm just wondering, do you have some kind of disability, that your parents are worried about, or are they just being way over protective parents? I only ask because I'm 26 and though my parents worry about me being away for so long, that is...

    medical insurance

    Muchs Gracias! Right after reading all of your posts, I called my insurance company to fine out how much/if I was covered in Spain. Luckily I am, but I was a little anxious until I got my answer. So Thank you everyone for putting the idea in my head and saving me one more freak-out later on...

    ***** MAYBE SILLY QUESTIONS *****

    I will second that there are no silly questions when it comes to the camino. I'm not 100% sure about Canada, but I will be traveling from Minnesota (tickets purchased on Orbitz) to Paris, then taking a train from Paris to Bayonne, then a bus to St Jean (there is normally a train, but they are...
