    Thank you - looks like at least one shop is open Saturday. A good incentive to get going early. That, and the heat! Buen Camino!

    Walking pains - advice

    Greetings from Denver, Colorado, USA! After walking throughout most of Covid, I'm starting my first Camino in mid-May and am very excited. Last August I began having a bruised/ache under the 'ball' of my right foot. I saw a podiatrist who diagnosed sesamoiditis - a version of tendonitis...
