    Cathedral Closed...Is the Camino still worth it?

    ‘Sometimes a dog fight near a cheese factory is just a dog fight near a cheese factory.’

    Cathedral Closed...Is the Camino still worth it?

    Loosely quoting the pastor interviewed in Six Ways to Santiago, ‘if you go to Santiago hoping to find Him, you won’t find Him there unless you take Him with you.’. I hope you find in your Camino what you are truly seeking.

    Learning a language in a year - documentary of/by a language professor

    @Colette Z Did you find a class or how did you acquire your languages? The problem with finding language parents in my area is that they mostly speak Tex Mex.

    General Renfe Question

    I used the Trainline app by Capitaine Train, TL EU, extensively for bus and train tickets in France and Spain. usually I checked Rome2Rio app as an easy way to see travel options, then I used Trainline to ck availability and buy, cancel, or change tickets. I did not experience any issues with...

    Tastes of the Camino

    @Anemone del Camino thanks for the tip.

    Tastes of the Camino

    It wasn't that at all. I fully plan to enjoy all the Camino has to offer when it's my turn. If we run into one another I'll gladly buy ya one. Didn't seem fair to the cookbook author to link to the fruit of her two passions in a thread that started with criticism and veered off the foodie path...

    Tastes of the Camino

    I was looking for a bit of food nostalgia. Leaving this pub now & heading for the friendly cafe around the corner.

    Tastes of the Camino

    What are your most memorable tastes, food or drink, on your Caminos? (I had originally asked about a cookbook I saw in another forum & included a link to it, but the above question seems more appropriate for the veterans and moderators)

    Debit card Help!

    Does that imply that it would ask American cardholders if they agree to dollars & a fee? When I lived in Paris we had 'technical difficulties' when using our American ATM cards to get cash unless we went to ATMs that handled the exchange. No issue with credit card cash advances.

    Sacramento California Pilgrims

    Hi KGilliam, Thanks for the book suggestion. I downloaded the Kindle version. Are the new socks double layers? My heart goes out to the family and friends of the man who succumbed to heat stroke. The article said he was out of water. I am sensitive to the heat which makes training during...

    Bitten to bits

    If you won't go near another Alberque does that mean you'll be staying in other types of accommodations? Hitchhikers, eggs & all?

    Sacramento California Pilgrims

    Kgilliam, thanks for the reading suggestions! Between the forum, reading materials and watching 'The Way' and "Six Ways to Santiago' more times than I will admit to, I am keeping my Camino mindset flowing. If you haven't already, get SYates book, Pilgrim Tips & Packng List: Camino de Santiago...

    Sacramento California Pilgrims

    Round trip? While I was searching I also saw ads for 'round trip' at low prices, but when I went to the sites the fare quoted was for each direction. I want to walk 200 miles, but Burgos is my goal. Minus travel days and the Bordeaux days with my friend it leaves me 15-16 walking days. Planning...

    Sacramento California Pilgrims

    Kgilliam, I went directly to the airline websites and tried dates within a day or so of my desired start & end date. Also did a few searches on this forum "how to get to St Jean Pied de Port' as well as 'Paris to St Jean', same for Barcelona, etc. From experience I knew that early morning...

    Sacramento California Pilgrims

    I am planning for a Spring Camino as well. Although I am traveling from TX, connections to & from Europe and trains are essentially the same. After researching numerous combinations the best total cost with shortest layovers going and coming ended up being on American Airlines via Boston to...

    Are bed bugs a current problem?

    Laura, you have me curious about your tent. Do you have a link? I hope your combination plan works well for you. Will be wishing you a stress free bite free Camino!

    Are bed bugs a current problem?

    Never considered wearing it on the skin as an option and doubt I would. Perhaps we happen to have the ideal body chemistry for it to work for us. Three Maltese dogs, one with a serious allergic reaction to mosquito bites, over the past 12 years have enjoyed the results as well. It's curious that...

    Are bed bugs a current problem?

    Specifically B1 (not a general B combination) works for at least two of us against mosquitos. It is definitely cumulative, i.e., takes daily dose for 2-3 weeks to start being effective & then continued use, but it definitely works for us. I happen to think that a mosquito sweet meat living in...
