Hey fellow peregrino,
My sincerest thoughts for what I know is an unforeseen and stressful situation. My bedbug experience happened early on, despite my treating every article of clothing and pack with permethrin. I woke up to an itchy track of bites on my posterior neck and head as well as...
Hello all of my wonderful Camino family. After hiking the CF in Sept 2015 and the Portuguese in 2018, I (like most) have been setting my sights to the next Camino I could do.
Well, after getting married in 2019 and having an awesome baby boy in 2020, not to mention a global pandemic. My wife...

I am flying from Boston to Paris September 8, arriving...
