Where did you hail from originally, and what did you find with regard to taxes, purchasing property, healthcare, job (or not), etc.? Renting or did you buy? If you bought, what are utilities like in terms of cost/month?
Though we are retired, we often say, "Where next?" However, the idea of...
I, like you, have been thinking of Annie as well. You have a groundswell of affection for you Annie. When time permits let all know how you are doing! Much love!
Spot on! I had really found a lovely rhythm within nature and the cadence of horses, sheep and cattle wearing bells. Entering the outskirts of Santiago was tough, and the plaza was teeming with Disney-like conveyances and throngs of humanity. I felt as though I was having a panic attack...
Am I wrong that one should not assume they are good to go on vaccination day, but rather two weeks beyond. You likely won’t have the stores of antibodies built up! I am not in the medical field, but thought this was the standard protocol.
I echo Kanga. I ended up in Tomar with infected toes due to five 20-mile days in a row. It was unusually hot in March '19. My feet swelled and I ended up with hematoma under my big toenails. Went to ER, and the most compassionate doctor held my hand and said, "You cannot go on. You must go...

This appears to be another Video of the Marsh family encouraging folks to get “the shot” to the tune of Halleluja. What a great public service announcement!
I believe, a little further up, there was a woman stationed at the top of the climb with granola bars, fruit and
coffee. The sight looking back to Castrojeriz was every bit as lovely as the snack stand at the top! I should have donned a bumper sticker to my backpack (or my bumper) that...
Love this! Jill, you introduced me to Chacos on this forum! I love them!! I did the Portuguese in them wearing injinji socks (five toes). My conundrum for a future Camino will be going back into closed toed shoes in order to wear a 3/8” lift in my right shoe! Who knew that nearly age 70...
Nearly 47 years. The test for me...I didn't have my parents blessing. They did not attend our wedding. I never regretted my choice. There was no communication with my parents until the day our daughter was born 2 1/2 years later. I knew their concern for me was out of love, but I also...
