Best guide! - and a question for Linda

[Channing Thieme]

Barry, your suggestion of *Aeroguia del Camino de Santiago* rings bells.  We
also just returned from five weeks on the Camino where word had it that its
aerial shots were invaluable to the walking pilgrim.  Where did you get your
copy?  American bookstores and web sites draw a blank.
    By the way, like others we have completed the Camino with a greater
thirst than ever to learn more about the history and culture of the land we
just walked.  I remember one evening at the refugio in Los Arcos looking
wistfully at the person in the next bunk who was reading David Gitlitz and
Linda Davidson's "Santiago: The Complete Cultural Handbook"  -  learning the
details of what she had seen that day.  The trouble is, it is a medium sized
book.  It weighs.  For this reason we left it behind and are now reading it
with amazement.  Linda, have you and David ever considered publishing an
abbreviated 'handbook' that is backpack friendly?  I imagine there would be
great demand ... and appreciation.
    Channing
