Hello Sean from beautiful Mammoth (I have super
memories of that place ;-)

I didn't bring Tevas because I found them
uncomfortable. I bought a pair of soft, sort-of
waterproof sandals while I was in Logrono because the
flip-flops I brought were made for style more than
function and I ended up falling down the steps of the
Santo Domingo albergue in them (!)

Yes, by all means bring sandals as they allow you to
air your feet out when you're not actually walking.
Also, they're great in the shower, because cleanliness
is relative in some of the albergues when so many
people are passing through each day. I simply attached
each sandle to a buckle on either side of my backpack
when I was walking. They didn't weigh much and I
considered them impmortant.

Buen Camino!
Ana
