Hello everyone! A random question this morning.... I will be bringing a notebook with me along the Camino, hoping to write much much more than I did two years ago. I had an idea several months ago of bringing along a second notebook (very small, no weight at all =) and having people write their...

Very good idea! I also have a white ink tattoo on my wrist and I really like it- though it's the only one I have that I've had o get touched up several times over the years too keep it visible ;-)
