The Poncho!!!! The Big Raspberry!


There´s no way around this one. The poncho is the most necessary accoutrement on the Camino, and the most un-sexy ever!!!!! Make sure you´re poncho is waterproof and covers your pack. (I´m really smuggling two foreigners underneath my poncho!!! They´re small, but very nice people!)

The Maseta, Camino, dry, dry, dry







It looks hot, but it´s not. Well, let me explain. Spain is quite interesting because the mornings are so crisp and cool, that you´ll freeze your balls off, if you have balls, of which I don´t. But, let´s just say you leave the Auberge, hostel around 7 or 8am, cold, walking fast in order to keep warm and about 10am, you´re sweating balls (if you have them) and have to change most of your clothing into hot-weather gear. Take a good look at my pics----all taken the same day. But just wait, the weather changes with the altitude, the Province, and the sound of wine glasses clinking! Be prepared.
