Answer to a few camino questions

[Richard Ferguson]

QUESTIONS IS LOWER CASE, ANSWERS IN BOLD, FOR READABILITY.

If you'd like, please respond to the following:

  The most essential items you must remember to pack are:
  The things that I packed that I really did not need
were: WARM CLOTHES, BUT I WAS LUCKY, I MISSED THE SNOW ON
THE MOUNTAIN PASSES THE WEEK AFTER I WAS THERE.
  I wish that I had brought: MAPS OF THE CAMINO
  If I had only one book to suggest about the camino it
would be: PILGRIM STORIES by Nancy Fey
  The best meal along the French route I enjoyed in:
  I wish I'd spent more time in:
  Never stop in the refugio in:
  Be sure to stop in the following refugios in the towns
of:
  The most memorable pilgrim I met on the road was AN AIDS
ACTIVIST AND ARTIST FROM GREAT BRITAIN.
  Most memorable stretch of the camino was:  FIRST DAY
WHEN I GOT LOST AND GOT WAY OFF TRACK.
  I kept track of my journey via journal, camera, tape
recorder etc:  PAPER JOURNAL, EMAIL JOURNAL, AND CAMERA
  When I arrived in Santiago de Compostela I . MET MOST OF
THE PEOPLE THAT I HAD MET AND WALKED WITH ON THE TRAIL.
  Now that I'm home when I think about the experience I AM
STILL REALIZING WHAT I LEARNED ON THE PILGRIMAGE, SOME BIG
THINGS, SOME LITTLE THINGS.  FOR EXAMPLE, IN HINDSIGHT, I
LEARNED TO ASK FOR HELP AND DIRECTIONS WHEN I NEEDED HELP.

DO NOT HESITATE TO TAKE A DAY OFF.  ONE OF MY BEST DAYS ON
THE CAMINO WAS THE DAY THAT I DID NOT WALK AT ALL, BUT SAW
THE PALM SUNDAY PROCESSIONS IN ASTORGA.
