    Serious Doubts 3 Weeks Before Camino

    Hey lighteningstrike, Fitness: Grab your pack, put 10% of your body weight in it and go for walks. Where you pack with the weight around the house while you do things. Also, I've spoken to many who have done little to no preparation for the trip and have had no problems. Heat: Get tech...

    Mailing Postcards to the US, tips and cost?

    I found this app after making this post and purchased a few credits to give them a try. I think this might be the best thing to do. I figure if I buy the 40 credit package and put my own pictures it will even be more cost efficient than buying postcards in Spain and then mailing them directly.

    Mailing Postcards to the US, tips and cost?

    Hello Camino Friends. I fly out on the 12 of June to start the walk. I want to send a series of post cards to my 4 year old nephew as I traverse CF. I'm not concerned about buying postcards, but what is the easiest way to get stamps and post them back to the US? Should I hit up a post office...

    Brierly Guide

    Ohhhhhh, someone pass the burn cream, cause Brierly needs it! I get it. I try to avoid most of the stops except in the major cities.

    How do I receive mail from home along the CF?

    I can't see to find the post from a few months (or maybe years back) about what to give your friends or family if they want to mail you a letter while on the Camino and pick it up from one of the post offices? Does anyone know how to do this?

    That is really neat! Where did you get him?

    Maybe its me

    Lol! I know. How dare they ruin the quite of the Camino listening to American rap on bluetooth speakers all the while recklessly whirling around selfie sticks that at any moment hit a real pilgrim. This is all in jest of course. It was nice to see school kids on the Camino, but after...

    Pianos in Albergue (HELP)

    I'm walking June-July. If we bump into each other, maybe you can play and I can sing a song or two. I do plan on packing a harmonica and either my Irish flute or whistle. I'd pack my trombone but that'd just look silly.

    Maybe its me

    I walked with a group of Spanish school children for a few days. I hated it, but it was what it was.

    Plane Ticket Pruchased

    Not as of yet, but I need to look into it in. I don't really know much about it.

    Plane Ticket Pruchased

    I purchased my plane tickets tonight for my second walk/pilgrimage. I hope to start walking from SJPdP around the 15th of June. Here is to meeting new friends and hopefully I'll actually walk the Meseta this go around. Peace y'all! Buen Camino!

    Reading and listening - history, language, Spain

    Also, try checking your local library as well.

    Odd Question about a plastic bag I got at the pilgrims' office in SJPdP

    I found this size of LocSack, which I think will be perfect for my on and off camino trips. I'll be hiking the Lone Start Hiking Trail in the Spring and this will be perfect for my guide and cell phone.

    Odd Question about a plastic bag I got at the pilgrims' office in SJPdP

    Thanks. I own some of these and they are great. Just not the right size. :(. I use the Large bag for holding my maps for when I go backpacking. Perfect size for those.

    Odd Question about a plastic bag I got at the pilgrims' office in SJPdP

    LOL! I'm sure he'll be on right away. They gave it to me with the credentials and a couple of copier pages worth of basic but useful camino information. I just assumed they gave one to everyone. Or maybe they gave one to everyone except you...j/k. They were probably out that day.

    Odd Question about a plastic bag I got at the pilgrims' office in SJPdP

    Odd Question about a plastic bag I got at the pilgrims' office in SJPdP. They gave me a plastic ziploc bag at the start of the Camino in SJPdP, and I was able to fit not only pilgrim's passport, but also my guide book and the other paper work they gave me. I no longer have the bag (I waled 2...

    Astorga walking buddies

    I keep being told the section after Astorga should not be walked alone. The people I have been waning with ended their Camino in Burgos or bussed ahead to another town past Astorga. I'm over at San Javier, Albergue the one near the cathedral, I'll probably start walking around 6:30 or 7 am...
