    A Blessed Feast of St. James to all!

    celebrated by making my first tarta... The stenciling needs further work, but the taste was perfect!!

    Mold for top of tarta de Santiago

    Go into one of the bakeries and ask. If all else fails, buy stencil material and you can probably make one. Though it would be nice if yo can find it ready-made. Wish I had thought of that when I was there :-( I had to make my own. It works, a bit delicate to pull it off but it works. Burn camino

    Thoughts? - people getting a compostela without walking the final 100k

    There is that! Camino, in its verb form, means "I walk," not I backpack :-)

    Getting Fit

    Currently on the Camino and have been wearing calf compression socks which I might have missed reading about in the forum, but have made a HUGE difference in my camino. No tired legs, no sore calves, and stretching is effortless :-)

    Double check when you call your banks to inform of travel...

    Hmmmm, it is a USA card. However, the problem was not the card, the problem was that there was no drop down menu to select "Passport number" after inputting the card number so the passenger information was rejected as incomplete. This was the case for credit card, pay pal, in both Spanish and...

    Double check when you call your banks to inform of travel...

    Help with ALSA I have been trying to make my bus reservations using my iPad. I have used both the Spanish and English interfaces and neither has accepted the transaction.... Pay pal does not have a drop down to select passport (just NIF/NIE) so it will not transact. The ALSA app is also no...

    Rain and wind

    Ha!, afraid I am not that clever....but smart I am, have the poncho ready to reach when in Galicia this coming June and I hope that the brim of my Tilley hat keeps the glasses fairly usable during the rain I have heard is inevitable... Sigh

    Rain and wind

    I have clip-ons for my glasses as well as the coating, but the rain in Spain is still truly a pain :-p

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

    Oh! I was about to say the same thing, a beautiful thought. I too walk faster than most. Friends and family say I have two speeds- fast and faster :-) but walking with the hubs forces me to pace myself. I can say he and I have certainly traveled far.

    Spanish Language Learning Software or other suggestions...

    I agree! Practice, practice, practice. I thought I spoke English well, that is until I came to USA and had to use it. I cannot tell you how many times I ordered food to find myself eating something altogether different to what I thought I had ordered. Sure, I could read and write it just fine...
