    Well. I have started! Purchased some very stinky cheeses at the big market in Porto and got a wonderful melt in the math proscuitto. They said that they will maintain fine a few days on the Camino.

    Wisely App

    I have heard wonderful things about the Wisely app. It is not available in the Apple App Store in the US. (the only wisely apps appear to be weather). Is it something I can only download once in Europe? I’ll be starting in Porto.

    Thank you all for the suggestions. I am packed pretty light (10 pounds) and will be in Porto for 2 days before starting.

    Yes! Amazingly someone from my hometown of Mobile, Alabama found me when I introduced myself and we started talking about Mobile. She has lived in Lisbon for 10 years and gave me both translations. Truly a small world. She also writes travel blogs along with her husband and sent me some for...

    As much yogurt as I eat, I should have thought about that! I’m getting a little nervous and only learned about the extensive jaw surgery 2 weeks ago. I think that will be another thing I will be coming to terms with on my adventure. Thank you!

    Would it be easy to find boiled eggs or cook in albergue? Unfortunately boiled eggs are a little tough for me, but maybe a great protein option. Thank you!

    Snacks after Jaw Surgery

    Hi all. Unfortunately I had jaw surgery last year that did not work. I am unable to chew basically most foods and will be undergoing a much more extensive surgery in January. I’m not worried about places to eat (a very kind person translated for me “I have had jaw surgery and would like...
