    A hard landing upon returning home

    I feel "homesick" for Europe.

    A hard landing upon returning home

    My experience has not been identical, but similar. Wishing you peace as you walk this very different path.

    US ATM cards not working

    I notified my bank before leaving the US, then used ATMs at banks during their open hours so I could walk in and get help if I had a problem. Worked for me.

    All the single ladies, all the single ladies

    I walked alone. On the Frances at 82; Portuguese at 85. No issues, though one time a man wanted to talk with me and I just walked on. Stayed in Municipal albergues and private ones. Frigid Muni was least pleasant experience. Pleasant conversations at meals occasionally. Decided my age gave...

    All the single ladies, all the single ladies

    I carried my passport and a credit card and/or cash in the special bag I had for the passport. Wore it under top layer of clothes, across my body. Less critical things in a fanny pack or very light back pack. Heavier pack sent each day.

    All the single ladies, all the single ladies

    Traveled alone mostly, occasionally someone else happened to appear at the same hostel and become a dinner companion. Felt "uneasy" a time or two, no genuine threat. Actually needed the time to simply "be", ruminate, enjoy the scenery, etc.

    Food on the Camino, what do you miss?

    For local food, the Patais de Nata in Lisbon

    Bathtubs and Other Essentials While on the Camino!

    Happened to me too. Issue was electricity was expensive to heat it, plus the tank did not hold enough for 6 of us to bathe in fresh water.

    Random thing that made you smile on Camino?

    One day I had to go behind a bush to relieve myself (yes I brought out my tissue in a baggy). A local woman in her apron was passing on the path and gave me a huge grin, obviously knowing there was only one reason for me to have been back there.. A shared female moment.

    For coffee addicts that like to walk early

    My kind of person! Happy caffeination.

    Bring mayonnaise

    Or have a wedge of Spanish Tortilla (egg, not Mexican)
  14. WalkingJane

    Credit travel or debit card???

    It seems certainly assumed in all the good posts above but I didn't see anyone say explicitly to "inform your bank before you go",

    Humbling memories

    Humbling indeed........ So many stories. "When will they ever learn......?"

    What does the 'spirit of the camino' mean to you?

    Taking a really deep breath and then letting go...........
  17. WalkingJane

    Where do ( did ) you walk ( locally ) in 2022?

    Envious! I lived/worked in St. Thomas, VI for awhile, living on a sailboat and sailing "down islands" on weekends and holidays. To Bermuda, lived/worked in Horta (Azores) 11 years. Also to England, Spain, Morocco. To Brazil, Bulgaria, Hungary, Kyrgyzstan, Northern Ireland, Portugal (with...

    The Not so Serious thread VI

    How many "poor babys" do you need? (I lived in the south quite awhile...........) "Poor baby" is not the same as "bless your heart"!!
  19. WalkingJane

    A present for special people

    Yes! These are great ideas. Especially something for the women....
  20. WalkingJane

    Clothes dryer etiquette

    That's a good point about some never having experienced communal living, or even maybe a largish family. Still --- maybe it's a good idea to do your best to learn about new experiences; ask questions; etcetcetc
