    People with Altra Lone Peak shoes

    I wore altra lone peaks on my camino earlier this year. I loved them. You may wish to look into arch supporting socks or similar. My plantar fasciitis started acting up as I got close to Santiago. And I did get blisters on the balls of my feet (but not the toes! Yay altras. Some additional...

    Problems convincing youth to go on a Camino...any experience?

    I just hiked the CF with my 12-year-old twins. They both had quite a bit of anxiety about being in crowds, for example at albergues or on public transportation. They also didn’t love that we had limited access to wifi. What helped them was knowing that we’d have some time each day to connect to...

    Camino Frances video game

    I’m currently on Camino with my 12 year old twins. Hello from León. It wouldn’t be my thing, but they’d love it. Anyone know where I can get more information? Is it only available in Spanish.

    Sign deletions

    And, of course, in Basque Country, many folks are interested in their autonomy, as well. I took this photo this morning in Larrasoaña.

    Traveling with an ASD teen

    🙏 It’s true. On the other hand, the CF is the most traveled and therefore best supported path. It has the most beds to start with. And it’s the one that I know and will have the most ease supporting my children on because of that. In any event, tickets are purchased and the CF it will be. We...

    Traveling with an ASD teen

    We are not bothered at all. But I do not want to disturb other pilgrims who may not wish to have a women in the men’s bathroom or have me bring my teenage son into the women’s room.

I am so excited for us to have this special experience as a family. We are doing the CF and will start in SJPP. As I make plans for where we might stay, I realize...

This time, I’m bringing my twin 12-year-olds with me and I’m excited to share this special experience with them. I have been thinking about it since my last Camino! I went to reserve an albergue for our...

    Transport between SdC and Porto

    I made that trip by BlahBlah car once. It’s a app that connects you to other people traveling that way who have extra seats in their car and then you end up paying part of the gas expense.

    Camino Frances - April, may or june?

    I walked in late may and early June. The wildflowers are so amazing at that time of year. I hope to go again just for that.

    Rideshare on the Francés? (Uber, Lyft, Cabify, Free Now, BlaBlaCar?)

    I took a Blablacar from Santiago to Porto.

    Really Dumb Albergue Question. Sorry.

    This sounds like a good problem! Congratulations on the reduced snoring. Your proposed solution of getting dressed in the bathroom after your shower is absolutely fine. And I think there is a lot of grace going on. Everyone is just human and doing what they need to do. Nobody will go out of...

    What will the 'new normal' be like?

    My thought is that we are not the first pilgrims who’ve ever lived through a pandemic. The camino has survived hundreds of years during some of the worst plague times. Surely this will continue to be true.

    Your favorite little bar on the Camino?

    The Bar Elvis in Reliegos holds a special place in my heart.

    LIVE from the Camino Bed Bugs in Albergue!! 22.8.19

    My wife tells me the bugs "just love you"! So I guess "it IS , what it is" I walked with a woman who seemed to attract more than her fair share of bites and had worse reaction to them. I suspect that some people are more attractive to them for some reason. I’m so sorry!

    Advice on skipping Meseta

    On an alternate route not far from Astorga is the Flores Del Camino bed and breakfast which is very beautiful and affordable and run by the couple that also run the albergue in town. They are kind and fed us wonderful food and take their hospitality to pilgrims so very seriously. I very much...

    No pain, no blessing?

    Always best to ask a doctor, but this kind of pain can be expected when you are walking on uneven ground and not accustomed to it. A conservative medical approach involves rest, and maybe ice or anti-inflammatory medication. The thing is most people don’t want to stop walking and will try a...
