    Does my plan for mailing some supplies ahead to myself make sense?

    I agree with the others about not complicating your time on the Camino by over planning. I also want to comment on the reliability of Correos in smaller towns.

    Where to leave my car

    I’ve been trying to get my mind around this one. It’s gone in all directions including a flight of fancy imagined from dogs point of view. In a lucid moment little dog wonders “how did I in 15,000 years, go from being a magnificent wolf in the wilds, to a cute cotton ball being hauled across...
