    Back home with my thoughts on a very brief Camino

    In Pamplona and Need Assistance

    Thanks, Patty. The young man at the front desk -- although very nice-- did not have a clue as to where to go to purchase luggage. That was my first thought, also.

    Cost Calculator for Camino Francés

    The calculator worked great for me at 45 days. I agree that adding beer/wine, pharmacy, and museum admission categories would be helpful for planning. My thanks to you and your web designer for this helpful tool.

    Say you had from Christmas to April free. What would you do?

    Hi Jeff: There are some pilgrims who only do winter Caminos. I feel sure that those pilgrims will respond. In the meantime, it is your Camino. You should do it on your own time. Winter on the Camino cannot be nearly as bad as winter in ND! Smile. :D

    The Camino is well signposted but are the Albergues?
