CarolamS reacted to ShoshTrvls's post in the thread Cathedral Tours - Language Translation "Hack" with
Like.
Because I had heard such marvelous things about it (all warranted), I booked the rooftop Cathedral Tour on Monday, despite knowing that it would be all in Spanish. (My Spanish is good enough to order food and ask for directions, but not good... -

CarolamS reacted to C clearly's post in the thread Lowered expectations (plantar plate injury) but still optimistic with Like.
On another thread, @peregrina2000 asked me about my plans for 2025, but I thought I would start a new thread rather than hijack that one. Camino 2024 involved the Via Serrana from Gibraltar to Sevilla, with @peregrina2000. Then we moved on to...
