    Silly me, wanting to fall in love on the Camino

    Happy update! Last time, I started in Pamplona because I feared the terrain in the first bit. I have a serious balance disorder and use a service dog. Well, I planned to hike again in May with my dog, but he suffered a mild injury and I can't risk his health. So, hubby has volunteered to be my...

    Silly me, wanting to fall in love on the Camino

    Oh, I love this story. I am married and wish my husband would walk with me. So many times along the route, I wanted to share something with him. I'll walk again in May, and I'll feel the same. But he will be home on the couch. Ah well... love is funny like that.

    My Spanish is poor.

    Hi Joe, I too struggle with Rosetta Stone. For me, its just boring. I switched to the Pimsleur Approach and like it much better. I use the mp3 edition on my iphone, so I practice on the go when I'm driving or walking. I also like it because you can get a free lesson to try and you can purchase...

    Womens' issues while walking

    Hi Kali, I've been experimenting with a few products for my first Camino starting in SJPDP on the 17th of June. For potty issues, I'm using a device with an oval-shaped funnel and short tube (called she-whiz), so basically I can handle the job standing up. The back of the cup has a squeegee...

    Camping on the camino

    Thank You, Brian. I have been looking for some positive feedback regarding camping. I too have a Big Agnes and start in mid June. I want to stay in alburges too, but I have chronic vertigo and migraines, and in the event of an attack, I want to tuck away in my tent until symptoms pass. I'm also...

    My Camino: An escape, from my mind

    Hi Antonio, I'm walking this June for similar reasons. I don't suffer depression (much), but I am agoraphobic. There are a few different brands of agoraphobia and mine is a fear of people in crowded spaces or people in not so crowded spaces. I feel safest at home or in my car. Like depression...

    Pigs ears?

    My dog, Jasper, rather enjoys pig ears. I'll have them on my upcoming Camino. Or, maybe not.

    Spanish Language Learning Software or other suggestions...

    So many great ideas! Thank you all very much. I'll keep you posted on what seems to work. I'm also going to dust off the Rosetta and recommit. I did spend a ridiculous amount of money on the software. Love the Skype lesson idea too. I tried watching Hoy, a Spanish morning show, but felt lost...

    Spanish Language Learning Software or other suggestions...

    Hola! I'm starting my Camino adventure mid June 2014. I have the time and desire, and would very much like to learn more Spanish. Currently, I can order food, gather essentials from a market, and behave in a courteous manner (salutations, please, thank you...), but I can't have a conversation...

    Bed bugs at Refugio Ave Fénix in Villafranca Oct 19, 2013

    Bummer... I guess it gets sprayed. Thank you both for replying

    Bed bugs at Refugio Ave Fénix in Villafranca Oct 19, 2013

    I'm hiking my first Camino in June and putting together a kit. I bought a silk liner for my sleeping bag, because I read somewhere that the bedbugs can't or won't breach the silk. True or false?
