    JabbaPapa reacted to lsg's post in the thread Do I really need a hat? with Like Like.
    Thanks for the comments. Have bought a hat from Decathlon. Will report back after I do the Camino in late August on whether I have abandoned the hat (and the pro-hatters should reimburse me 10 euros) or not. Also, because I am not completely...

    Day 31 - - Vendas de Narón I slept at Casa Molar, which is an OK place, had the pilgrim menu with the three other pilgrims who were here, two started from SJPP, the other from home in Germany, and this year from Le Puy. Hopefully I can make a...
