I, and several other forum members use Find Penguins to create blogs. It's very similar to Polar Steps. https://findpenguins.com/ I use Google Maps location sharing so that my family know where I am in case of emergency... -
Thanks for the suggestion Peter. I like the last line “just go for it.” I’ll go back to REI and see if they will exchange mine for a 40L That seems like great advice. The lighter the better especially since I turn 68 on day one of Camino...

Like.
I agree. Astorga is pleasant but if your on a tight schedule you can see everything in an afternoon and early evening. -
cha200 reacted to Bradypus's post in the thread First time on Camino, is the route doable? with Like.
It is only 17km from Hospital de Orbigo to Astorga. Assuming you start reasonably early you should comfortably be there by lunchtime. Astorga is a pleasant town but it is not large and its main sights are very close together. You could probably...

cha200 replied to the thread How much cash to bring?.200 sounds like a reasonable amount for the Ingles. I paid cash at albergues and some dining, but used my card for grocery stores and everything else. I walked it in 4 days (some do it in 3), so you may not need 5 days of money.

Thank you.
This was my husband. So many thanks to all of my fellow pilgrims who stopped to help and to pray and to translate for me. He was doing what he loved. Thank you for the news article link. -
Ye gods, this could go on forever - the old "what is a pilgrim" thread again. :::chuckling::: To me, they are NOT pilgrims since they are not on a pilgrimage to Santiago or home FROM Santiago. So, I support the owners. But that's just me...

cha200 reacted to Former member 104756's post in the thread Shirley Maclaine - The Camino - Swimming place with Like.
I felt the same way Dave. I don't even remember how long ago I read it but I'd say at least 20 years ago. It was the first time I'd heard of the Camino. And my overwhelming thought after reading the book - despite its many eccentricities - was...
