    arfajajc reacted to wisepilgrim's post in the thread In Praise of Albergues with Haha Haha.

    arfajajc reacted to Bradypus's post in the thread Old School with Like Like.
    My first Camino was the year before the World Wide Web reached the general public. And also the year before the first GSM digital phone network. For all practical purposes no internet, no mobile phone service, and no email. When I reached Zubiri...
