    SIM card?

    I paid 20 euro yesterday in Madrid for a Spanish SIM card. 6 GB of data. Had to show passport. They did ask me if I was going to any other European countries. Not sure why. Much stricter than in the USA

    Base Layer

    Take a look at the historical temperatures along the route and plan accourtingly but be ready to call a Tony Romo audible when you are a week or so away from leaving. Coming from Texas I'm guessing you are going to feel the cold more than most. Better to bring too much than not enough & being cold.

    What gear is the lightest in your pack?

    Not to travel to far off subject but how about doing a few practice hikes ( 10-20 km ) back home with a full backpack of everything you would like to bring. Too heavy? Decide what you don't need. If you have no problem carrying it? Bring it

    What gear is the lightest in your pack?

    Guadalcanal? Good God lol I understand you are right, no definite safe place. But we don't even try to put the odds in our favor You have to admit, with LA, SF, NO, LV and the Eastern seaboard we had amble warning before the population explosions

    What gear is the lightest in your pack?

    Why do us humans insist on living where we should not? You in LA. folks up in San Francisco. Both just waiting for the big one. Over a million people now in Las Vegas with no water.

    Is carrying your own backpack a thing of the past?

    I'm on board with you. I worry about giving charge of my backpack to another party. That and I think it's good for my health to carry my own backpack. But, but each to there own. I could care less if someone walks bicycles or rides a horse. I would like to think I'm humble enough to not judge...

    Is carrying your own backpack a thing of the past?

    My wife told me having a root canal was worse than giving child birth. I said " I disagree. No one has a natural root canal " lol

    Is carrying your own backpack a thing of the past?

    May I suggest we start having dental work Novocain free from now on. That would make us more like real pilgrims

    Is carrying your own backpack a thing of the past?

    For the life of me it still baffles me why anyone would concern themselves with what other people carry or don't carry. If you have a problem with who carries what? In my opinion you just, just might have issues the Camino is not going to fix. Either that or you are way too self righteous.

    Favorite sun protection shirt?

    In Spain it doesn't seem to matter if a lady takes her top off LOL Last year I was taking pictures of the beach in La Coruna, from a distance. When I got close enough I realized many women had no tops on. I thought good God, the police are going to lock me up for being a pervert

    Favorite sun protection shirt?

    I try to slowly build up a base tan before we get into the hot beach part of summer so I don't have to wear too much sun screen. Do any of us really understand the chemicals that are in sun screen lotion? There is lots of research out there saying it's not all that good for us. The vitamin D we...

    Is carrying your own backpack a thing of the past?

    Has the idea ever crossed your mind that many of us, more likely the older ones than the younger ones have already done our Camino in different ways? Some of us have served our country, some have served our communities. Many of us sacrificed, worked hard so our kids could go to college & have...

    Thank you, I think But I'm not all that clever & and I mean to deceive no one. OK so maybe I lie once & a while but only to be kind lol

    Is carrying your own backpack a thing of the past?

    Good grief lol Why does it matter who carries a backpack, a daypack or for that matter nothing? If carrying a backpack makes you a real pilgrim? Doesn't it make sense that the one who carries the most weight, is the better pilgrim? lol Oh wait. Ut oh. That would mean they are bringing to many...
