    Looking for a photo of the camino that I can use on my blog

    You're all so lovely! Thank you! I ended up finding a photo after all...I thought that I'd deleted this thread so I wouldn't waste anyone's time, but it looks like it's still here after all. Oops! Sorry about that! Your photos are gorgeous. Thank you so much for the Sunday morning inspiration!

    Looking for a photo of the camino that I can use on my blog

    Hello! I'm planning a camino in March. I've been obsessively reading the posts here ever since we decided we were going earlier this year. Anyway, one of my BIG projects is learning Spanish. I've got it in my head that I want to be functional by next March. I'm starting a blog about learning...

    Is carrying a guidebook worth the weight?

    Thank you all very much for the quick replies! I'm buying the Brierley guide, but I'm leaning towards just reading it at home, and then leaving it behind. I'll definitely look at the links. And I like to idea of making my own "guidebook" by jotting some info down in the back of my journal. Thanks! S

    Is carrying a guidebook worth the weight?

    I'm trying to shave another 300 grams off my pack weight, and am having a (very) hard time. Do I need a guidebook for the camino frances in March and April? Will it really make a difference in the quality of my trip? If it will make a difference, then I'll carry it, but if it isn't necessary...

    Some thoughts from first 10 days of my Camino

    Your blog is very well-written, and you're very funny. I laughed out loud more than once. But I agree with the other posters...maybe you should be open to slowing down a bit? I'm pretty fit, and I already know that I won't be happy walking more than 20 km a day.

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

    I'll be walking in March and April of next year. I'm very optimistic about the weather! I'm hoping that this year used up the bulk of next year's winter. Ha!

    What items are you glad/wish you had brought?

    "I carry 1 roll of biodegradable toilet paper." I agree with this. No matter where I travel, I always bring a half-roll of toilet paper! You never know when you're going to need it. But remember to leave no trace and carry it out with you too! I've never been on the camino before, but as a...

    Have y'all seen the video of this guy? Lots of bad decision

    I watched the whole thing. Yes, it's a pretty amateur video. And he was pretty stupid at the beginning. But overall, I found him a very likeable guy. People learn from their mistakes...and hopefully he understands how terrible his decisions were - both for him and for the people who may have had...

    How About Work?

    I work contracts. In some ways it's not ideal, since I don't get any paid holidays, but my work is really flexible. I can take all the time I want...so long as I can finance the time myself. I'll stop working, and then pick up where I left off when I get home. From now until next Spring, I'm...
