    How accurate is AccuWeather?

    I am also in Australia and use Accuweather often when planning, both here and overseas. One thing I tend to pay attention to is the percentage of rain expected. The higher that percentage the more accurate it is. The percentage for for Sunday is 94% and expected rain is about 15 mm, so I feel...

    Help me choose a path for my 3rd Camino as a devout Catholic

    Added to that I fully recommend the monastery in Herbon, which is very close to Padron. When leaving the boat, walk to Herbon and then the next day walk across to Padron and then on. A very spiritual experience and the volunteers, second to none, very caring and very entertaining. Special...

    Credit Card Nightmare

    Sock liners in Porto

    For whatever reason, whether it is Covid, supply issues, too many people shopping for Camino "gear", I can't get a hold of any toe liner socks, like Injinji.

    Donativos - Time for a gentle reminder
