    I am watching IT again :) THE WAY

    I love this movie. Watched it many times before my Camino last Sept/Oct and have since watched it several more times. I'm about ready for another "The Way" fix any day now. One of my favorite inconsistancies is when Tom is walking the path along the road and takes a look back to see Daniel...

    Food on the Caminos

    Portuguese "Caldo Verde" is what we call it. I always make mine with Linguica or Portuguese Chourico and it is one of my favorite soups. :-)

    Bed Bugs - permethrin

    I need help from some of you veteran Caminoists.......We just sprayed our backpacks with permethrin for our Sept 12th Camino, and while I had my back turned my husband sprayed the inside of my pack.

    Big frozen octopus

    Hi Newfydog, I am in upstate NY and during the summer, I can usually get octopus at my wonderful grocery store Wegmans. I boil it stovetop for several hours without doing the oven thing. Just one more step. You won't believe how much these puppies shrink when they are cooked, so make sure it is...

    permethrin spray as a preventative for bed bugs

    I will be putting Permethrin on my sleeping bag and backpack, however the bottles I have say "good for two weeks". How is this going to work for a 7 week Camino? Will this do the trick or will I have to buy some in Spain along "the way"

    How Fit Were You at the Start?

    Mary, My husband ia also wearing Merrill Moabs, but his are not waterproof. I'm wearing Brooks Cascadia trail runners and love them so much that I just bought a second pair (one for training). Hubby also got a pair and he likes them much better than his Merrills and will most likely wear them...

    How Fit Were You at the Start?

    LesBrass, I see you are having trouble finding the perfect shoes. I know you are in France, but do you have access to trail runners like Brooks Cascadia or New Balance? A running store or good outdoor store should carry something similar. Many hikers are even using these for the AT and unlike...

I am also staying there and they are expecting me when the train gets...
