    Waymarker

    I'm also from Canada, but the opposite side of the country (Vancouver Island). After my first Camino, I received a gift of a brass scallop shell and mounted it to a piece of driftwood. And I couldn't resist the latest addition to my rose garden - "The Pilgrim".

    No Permethrin in Canada?!

    Permethrin spray is legally available, at pet stores, as a flea spray.

    Graffiti on the Frances

    I did not notice as much graffiti when I walked the Frances in 2014, but after coming off the Primitivo last year and joining the Frances, I definitely noticed it, and how many km. signs had been taken (and some broken in an attempt to take them). "Take only photographs - leave only footprints."

    Questions to Spainologists

    The bottle on top of the stick or pole in the garden is to protect against injury when bending over - a gardener's trick.

    Time Limits on Credencial

    I met several people who were walking the Camino in stages over several years, mostly because of time limitations of their annual holidays from work. They did as you said; starting again from the place that they had finished at the previous year.

    Brushing up on my Spanish

    I am really enjoying your postings; a little bit of humour (or a lot) is invaluable on the Camino. I am wishing that I was walking at that time and on the same route. Alas, I am doing the Camino Portuguese in September. Re: the Spanish. I have also been using "Say Something in Spanish" and...

    Etiquette about stamps on postcards to send home?

    I served as a hospitalera last year, and was often asked to stamp both a credencial and some other document such as a journal. You should have no difficulties, and as others have said often the stamp is just left out for you to use yourself.

    Making a deposit for a room

    I was asked, a few times, to confirm my reservation (anywhere from 1 day to 1 week ahead) by email or phone. I never had to send a deposit.

    LIVE from the Camino Debit card trouble at Barajas

    I am so sorry that this has happened to you, and I hope that you are able to return to complete your Camino. This can, and does, happen though so thank you for providing a heads-up to us. I also had a debit card that would not be accepted, but thank goodness I had a second one that I could...

    Starting in 5 days and close to panic!

    I hope that this helps. Yes, I was there too (and many others, I am sure). A few days before I left to do the CF, I was full of doubts (amazingly, exactly the same as yours!). I had a wonderful experience, met some great people, and by the time I was halfway through I already knew that I...
