    LIVE from the Camino Snakes in an albergue - La Quintana

    Are there any venomous snakes in that part of Spain?

    Bed Bugs Make Use of Mass Transit to Go Places and See Things

    I got eaten alive by bed bugs four times on the Camino Frances over 2 months last fall, the final assault being the night I arrived in Santiago. They all happened in albergues and hostels. Trips to the farmacia for hideous chemical sprays, repeatedly washing everything I could in super hot water...

    Which legs do I cut out?

    These references to "senda." When I look up the word it say it's a path. Is it actually being used to mean a concrete sidewalk? I've got a lot to learn in Spanish by September. Thanks!

    Save the Bottom Bunks for the Elderly

    Have you talked to a doc about hormonal creams used in just that area? That plus kegels have made a huge difference for me. I really underestimated the kegels until I did them for the first week.

    New phone number - SIM Card for Camino

    Ladies only, please!

    This has all been much more than entertaining. It's useful, so to those of you who are on the shy side, PLEASE do not be discouraged from posting frank questions and good solutions. I guess everyone's "TMI" is different, but I have not yet seen any over-disclosure in this thread. You are not the...

    Ladies only, please!

    My GYN doc suggested regularly doing kegels last year because despite hormone replacement, leaking was an issue when sneezing, slipping, laughing, etc. I'm 59 and when I finally started doing exercises to tighten up the bladder sphincter, it WORKED. I'll be darned. For 14 yrs I had taught water...

    Ladies only, please!

    Don't you get super itchy when the hair starts growing back, at the stubble stage while being subjected to a lot of friction out walking?
