Oh, how I love packing lists!

[claudia castellani]

Great, great, great!!!

A dress and lady socks!! Sometimes I wished I had brought one with me. When
I left for the Camino I actually didn't think of myself like a woman but
just like a pilgrim!! But I think you are right.

The only problem might be that after a while everything in your backpack
(so, I fear, also your dress!) smells "pilgrim's smell". So, even if you are
dressed as a woman, everybody will recognize you as a pilgrim by the smell
of your dress!!!!  ;-)

Buen Camino!!! ;-)
Claudia
