    Food to bring to Spanish friend from US

    Dry cranberries and peaches
  2. Lydia Le

    I didn't double stamp!

    Crying loudly should also work if pilgrim is too tired to smile.

    How far do most typically walk before resting?

    I walk between 12 to 15 miles a day. I would stop twice for personal needs, drink, lunch and restroom. But I stop for cow, horse or dog that need petting.

    Bring mayonnaise

    I prefer to "wet" my dry sandwich with wine

    My pet-peeve: Selfies

    I agree. I can't remember most of what I saw of my first Camino in 2017, and I have to rely on pictures. But I do still feel the emotions pretty strongly even now.

    Camino Friends

    I cried for a day after parting with a friend I walked with for 3 weeks. I cried for a year thinking of my experiences on that first Camino(Frances). I still see my Camino sister. She live not too far away.

    I Need a Hiking Buddy

    Maybe your boss can pay for an security escort. Anyone one you find will likely have their own goals and aspirations and would not want to look out for your safety the whole way; that is a big ask.

    A Flâneur in the times of Covid

    When I travel I take advantage of jetlag and get up extra early to walk around the city when it is quite and empty and watch the city waking up.

    While you're not doing anything else ... help identify this church!

    That looks like it's on the Camino Portuguese.

    Cooking/Eating too much while in quarantine !!!

    Put on a face mask and practice social distancing from your refrigerator.

    Frustrating, irritating, and annoying pictures on this forum.

    Why take all the fun and mysteries out of life? If someone wanted to know where a picture is taken, they can walk around and find out? :p

    October weather?

    Perfect when I walked in 2107. I had about 3 days of rain in Galicia, but the trail is not muddy like the CF.

    What Other Cuisine would you Like to See on the Camino Frances?

    Pho, the Vietnamese beef noodle soup on a cold rainy day.

    Bed bug eliminators

    There is hope in the not far future ...

    Litter, Toilet Paper, Poop, Not Just a Camino Problem.

    There are cafes along the CF. For a euro or two buying a drink, you can use the toilet. I don't want to see a portable toilet every 8km. There is no shame peeing in the bush if you really cannot wait, just take your trash with you. Maybe I did not look carefully, but I did not once see solid...

    Blanket remake

    Beautiful!!
  17. Lydia Le

    Post a picture of your "shadow".

    Meseta was my favorite section on the CF.

    Knitting & The Camino

    I go to the yarn shop across from Pilgrim House after my walk and get my fix there. I have to learn how to knit socks for my next Camino. It is compact and light to take along. I love the hat pattern and will make some for my Camino sisters. Thank you.
