    "You talk too much about the Camino"

    Very, very true. And to Skandinaviangirl, I also go with the advice to write about it. Write a blog, write a book, post on the Forum, but do not stifle your wish to communicate your love, feeling, and experiences on the Camino. P. S. I am so fortunate that my husband is as enthusiastic about...

    Explaining the camino

    After you walk the Camino you'll be glad you "lost your marbles" and never want to find your "marbles" again. Buen Camino!!!!

    The Camino vs other trails

    No, you don't have to go to France of Spain to have a spiritual experience walking. That said the existence of the Camino depended upon Christians making their way to the tomb of St. James for nearly two thousand years. The AT does not exist for that purpose. That does not mean you cannot...

    How Fit Were You at the Start?

    You're going to be just fine. Really. You'll surprise yourself with what you can accomplish. When you're finished and at home, you won't believe you did it, but you'll have friends from all over the world who will remind you that you did.

    Did your Camino fail or exceed your expectations?

    Oh my, I loved this post. So utterly true. I won't be going back either, until I can get more money.

    Camino Negatives

    You know, after reading this thread again for probably the third time, and having walked from SJPDP to Santiago, I look back and realize that anything negative about being on "The Way" can happen at home as well as there. Every single one, including the bedbugs. Not that I have experienced...

    Is there a real reason for a bed race???

    Just to clarify, with regard to the municipal in Burgos, I was describing an incident that I witnessed. My husband and I had beds there. I described that incident to point out to the people saying that the "bed race" is a myth, that it most certainly was not a myth while I was on the Camino...

    bedbug undersheet - worth it?

    While it sounded like a good idea to me, we did not take anything other than a spray. In the end, the only time we ran into bedbugs, they were crawling on the WALLS. Coming out from under a wood trim running around the room and out from under the door trim. From there one had crawled onto my...

    Is there a real reason for a bed race???

    I would also add that at the municipal in Burgos, we got beds, but at seven p.m. that night I was at the desk area and heard two women, probably in their forties, being turned away. They asked about other accommodations and were told that they would just have to go to the other places to ask...

    Is there a real reason for a bed race???

    In my experience yes there can be a bed race. On Sept. 6 2013 in Villamayor Monjardin, there were people sleeping outside under a patio cover because there were no beds. We had a thunderstorm that night. They paid 2 Euros to our albergue (Hogar Monjardin) to use the showers. One person was...
