    Bladders or Bottles

    I found it was easy to stay hydrated using a bladder. If you have one that fills from the top it's convenient to add water to it during the day. Because I use two hiking poles I think it's less cumbersome to just have a tube to sip from, rather than managing a bottle and sticks. One note: my...

    As an albergue staying pilgrim do you ever get to see the Milky Way?

    As an albergue staying pilgrim do you ever get to see the Milky Way?

    I was usually to sleepy to wait until it was dark. But I remember one night in Puente de la Reina, Santiago Apostol Albergue when I had a huge window behind my head on the top bunk and I couldn't sleep because it was so gorgeous to see the stars.

    Good to hear you have reserved the Auberge du Pèlerin. That was my 1st night last Spring, April 28th, 2013 and I found it well-located, clean, very fun and the welcome dinner was a great way to launch. Buen Camino!

    My moment at the Cruz de Ferro- a memorial

    Thank you for sharing your story, Rory. I walked in honor of my sister and my mother who died shortly before I began. It was a heavy burden and also a release from grief. The Camino was right where you could do the most for your family, holding them in prayer, letting yourself feel the loss of...

    finished my camino

    Hello Patricia, your post is most encouraging! Are you going to be attending the Northern California Camino group meeting in Pleasanton on Feb 9th? I'm planning to walk May to mid-June 2013 alone for most of the trip. My husband might join me for the last 2 weeks.
