    Recent Camino pilgrim deaths- August 2018

    Its the saddest thing. Such a waste. I can only imagine how devastated their families are. I leave in ten days and I sure am hoping it cools off some.

    Quick, go now!

    Duh! Do one this October then bring the grand baby with you next year!! You have to train him/her up so when you are too hold they will carry your pack or push your chair. ................planning ahead.

    Epiphany. I had mine what was yours.

    Someone I know walked arrived in Spain to " walk the camino and sort out her life" She had not trained at all, never put her pack on outside of the store, thought that the water was too heavy and dumped out not only hers but her walking companions. Her back was covered in rubbed raw spots ...

    Show me your tattoo

    Ive never had an interest in getting a tattoo before at all and in fact have been kind of anti tattoo but the idea of commemorating my camino with one has been rolling around in my brain. I guess at 50 Im old enough choose something I want on my body forever, and a place Ill want to see it...

    Some universal things: Do exercises to increase the range of motion in your ankles. There are many videos on line about this.

    Albergues and food

    Interesting to me that the last time the OP responded was ten days ago and still didn't answer the dierect question. I guess that is in and of itself the answer.

    Pre Camino Podiatry Visit

    I don't have any particular issues but decided I would go to a podiatrist before I did. Im about 5 weeks out from leaving. I can't recommend this enough!! She evaluated my shoes, my pack, my socks. I was given advice on foot care, blister treatment and prevention. She assessed my gait. She...

    Very bad pilgrims (Renaissance edition)

    True enough!!! I found letters from an elderly family member written back and forth to his wife while he was stationed overseas. The 'complaints' about kids today having no manners, the technology ( sitting around doing nothing but listening to the wireless) was ruing their social skills, the...

    Carrying my stuff--

    I think there is something of a metaphor in the idea of carrying ones stuff with them and adjusting you load a things get heavy. As I have been walking daily locally in preparation for my Camino I have already learned that I have too much stuff....and not just in my closet!!! My chosen camino...
