    Using WhatsApp in Spain? Also 112 versus Alert Cops.

    When I had a problem on the Camino three nurses happened by on a short walk from where they worked. They helped me in getting help from 112. Other than taking to me and asking general health questions the only special question that they asked was "Do you have WhatsApp on your phone?" . They were...

    Compostelas for Dummies

    My family and I went to a baseball game in San Francisco last week. No whare in the stadium, and this includes getting in, did they accept anything other than QR codes on your phone. "The times are a changing".

    LIVE from the Camino What do you do when something goes wrong.

    I got severely dehydrated on my first Camino. I ended up, calling 112 and got taken to Ronchavelles. I then decided that at 75 I should turn into a tourist. So I got a taxi to Pamploma. I then got a train ticket to Madrid to do some tourist type things. When I sat down on the train my son...

    Origin of the yellow arrows

    When did the yellow arrows first appear? Was there a color that was used in the past? Did the current color get adopted after "The Wizard of Oz" come out with the thing about following the yellow brick road?

    Really Dumb Albergue Question. Sorry.

    I almost did the same thing. What I did was get several of the straight wires from coat hangers. I left them straight because I could bend them to shape by hand when I wanted to. I decided that they might be considered inappropriate for carrying in the airplane cabin. So I packed them with my...

    Really Dumb Albergue Question. Sorry.

    I found S hooks in Saint Jean and loved being able to almost always hang things up. There were two sizes available and I got the larger size.

    Really Dumb Albergue Question. Sorry.

    I sleep cold. At home my wife will have her blanket on 2 or 3 and I'll have my side on 5 or 6. For many years now, at least 40+, when I travel anywhare, I always have a large towel with me. Some places don't provide extra blankets. On the Camino I just have a "modern micro fiber" towle.

    Get a bigger towel, it will dry you faster.

    Poll Do you prefer tags or the search function?

    I don't use either. I scroll through the current topics and go over whatever seems interesting.

    Outdoor industry reveal new backpack volume standard

    Unfortunately I am having problems with measuring my pack. I only drink beer in bottles. Should I go out and "take one for the team" and load up on canned beer? I would then be forced to empty the cans prior to measuring. This might be a several day job! But I am now under a "stray at home"...

    Ancestry DNA Explains it all !

    I am adopted and most people say that I look like "a northern european". I got my DNA checked and they said that my DNA showed that I was Norwegian, Icelandic, Scottish, Belgian, Basque or southern French. Basically anywhere that the Vikings were involved in raping and looting. Since I hot...

    What do you do when you cannot walk anymore?

    I have the time and might get my 77 year old body in reasonable shape. Now try and win at Lotto to get the cash.
