HELLO Sallysue. I can't help with the accomodation in SJDP but if you google hotels in the city at least you might be able to get one of those if the Albergue is not open. With to regards to your 30 days, I hope you have a map to follow. If not go to http://www.eroski.com It is a website for...
Reb, well said. I tell people who ask me am I afraid to walk alone, I tell them that I leave fear at home, it weighs too much, but I take my common sense and caution with me :)
Hi, Walking from Porto in Portugal can be done in 14 but if you take a bus now and again you can make it, Check my blog for February posts about albergues on that route.
Aldy, thanks for this. Just yesterday someone phoned to tell me about this broadcast and I was about to try to find the link when I open your post. One of the authors interviewed Julie Kirkpatrick is a neighbour of mine. I have read her book,very personal about her and her daughter not so...
The link Lynnejohn posted (the second one) seems to catch them all. Not sure about the pant/skirt one. I bought mine in Montreal but now I am seeing them here in Peterborough (small city) in the outdoor stores. I have one Mountain Hard Ware brand and my fave is Royal Robbins because it has...
Last year I discovered walking skirts. They are really comfortable and in the morning I keep my longjohns on until it warms up and then remove shoes and long jons and I am good for the day.
Didn't see any kilts on The Way but some of you guys could start that trend!

The problem I have with DVD's (and I am a big movie fan BTW) is that if you copy or use it for public viewing and get caught is that you get more time and pay higher fines than you would if you raped someone, murdered someone or abused some child! This is about $$$ into an already wealthy and...
Yes, where did you get the DVD. Wishing it would come to Toronto::::::wishing it would come to Toronto:::: :cry: The film festival is too crazy here so I didn't go when the moving was releaased for the TFO :cry: :cry:
Santo Domingo de la Calzada, brand new in 2009 and it was festival when we arrived. The place is beautiful and very central to the old part of the city. Thanks for asking the question because I a going to save this list for my next Camino Frances in 2012.

I think 2 sizes larger is a bit too big. Your feet will certainly not be anchored properly. You need room for your socks and for your feet to swell during the day. You will hve to be the judge when you are shopping. I would make sure it was my decision and not the sellers decision regarding...
Hi, I really agree with busing through the industrial parts of the CF. First of all it is a blow to the mind after all the beautiful trails, second of all, you will avoid a great deal of aspalt. It wll take a little planning to arrange this approach to saving time, but I agree with the others...
Thanks Viagero for the update. Not all things commercial need to be shunned or only have monetary intentions. This film I believe will bee seen by experienced pilgrims, their family and friends and by those who want to become a pilgrim and unlike most films, it will have a purpose amd a story...
Falcon, very interesting comment. I did not notice, perhaps I didn't look to see, is there a donation box "to buy"the take away wine? This is a serious question, I really do not know. The translation you sent suggests that there might be.
If so I will have to go back there and pay my share...
Regarding places to stay in Paris, I have often mentioned the web site http://www.hostelworld.com on this forum because I had such a wonderful time at the hostel I picked in Porto with its help. Heather, if you are not wanting to do the hotel search, check out that website. I believe some of...
