    Grandma's on the Camino: Reflections on a 48-Day Walking Pilgrimage to Santiago???

    Hi Scruffy1, I read it and found it interesting for a number of reasons. This lady did not prepare for the camino by walking etc. so she had trouble with her feet, falling, etc. She did not ask for advise along the way hardly ever. She got good advise from people and when she finally did take...

    Severe tummy bug

    Hope your are feeling better now. Whatever you decide to do - be kind to yourself. The situation I am describing now is just a related FYI: I too had a bit of trouble at the beginning of my camino but my case was not caused by water. I found out that the café con leche can cause diarrhea in...

    Last minute worries

    Welcome to the club! You will be fine no matter which way you go. Had I (58 yr old female that was not a long time hiker) known a bit more: I would have considered Valcarlos because it turns out that the stress of uphill walking with a pack lead to tendonitis in both Achilles and feet for me...

    How Dangerous are the Pyrenees?

    Watch out for high wind speeds and gusting. They can cause problems during any season. While on the CF last month a women had a serious accident (I believe a broken shoulder) when the wind picked her up and dropped her. I was going up a day before and the wind, though not as bad as the next day...

    Espirit du Chemin in SJPdP sold..

    Ok, after my last post I realized that Etoile is not "school" in French. "Ecole" is school! Gee, if I had been studying French instead of Spanish these last several months I would be upset with myself! This just makes me laugh - what a linguist I am! Hope I remember how to say anything when I...

    Espirit du Chemin in SJPdP sold..

    I can't believe it, I am not staying at Espirit du Chemin/ Beilari, I am staying at Le Chemin Vers L'Etoile. I guess I mixed them up because of the "Chemin" in both. Maybe it's good they changed the name so that unobservant people like me don't make the same mistake : ) LOL. If memory serves me...

    Espirit du Chemin in SJPdP sold..

    Simeon. Thanks for the info. I seem to be unable to access the website via the link http://www.beilari.info/en/reservations. Is there some other ending that I need to use from the USA? Maybe it's my browser that's the problem. I had a reservation for May 17th already but we will see what's up...

    Need Help Understanding Addresses

    Thanks so much Peregrine and Fraluchi, Your answers helped a bunch. Where the numbers are placed in the address really confused me so now I get it : ) Maybe a few other Norte Americanos have been helped out as well. Stefania

    Need Help Understanding Addresses

    Hi everyone. I have been putting together a list of addresses to bring with me on my first Camino. I am confused by how they are written out. I am showing a couple examples below but really what I want to know is what line is a street address, is there a zip code, what are the numbers for, and...

    Cyndy, I will be right behind you (starting May 18). This is my first camino too and I am really excited.
