[Gocamino] Bilbao base to hold medicine for pilgrim.

[Hathor821 at aol.com]

Dear Pilgrims from all forums:
 
Here we go again!
 
Martha from Austin and Patricia from Miami are doing the camino in  July.  
We are landing in Paris and taking AF to Bilbao.  Having flown  straight 
with a  long stop over in New York on our Way to Paris and then to  Bilbao, we 
will arrive exhausted.
 
We need:
 
1. a pension in Bilbao for about two nights.
 
2. A refrigerator in Bilbao to hold -procrit- which is the medicine  Martha 
from Texas needs to have every two weeks. Therefore, Bilbao will become  
sort of 'her' base while she travels there for her medication and I wait for 
her  somewhere on camino.
 
I am an Amereican Hospitalera since 2009 and while I wait in whatever town  
we happen to be while Martha goes to Bilbao,  I would be more than happy to 
 assist the hospitalero in that town.
 
If anybody can recommend a hostal or economical hotel in Paris, please do  
so.  We are flying back to the USA from Paris.
 
Oh! ...we are debating: Camino del Norte ---or--- again Camino Frances???  
your ideas would be welcome.  We are physically fit for C del N.
 
Cheers,
Patricia de Miami 
 
ps.  Bob, I am not on facebook!  and can't warm up to  it....

For a  couple of years now, there has much less activity on the 4 pilgrim 
sites to  which I subscribe, Gocamino, Ultreya, saintjames, and Santiagobis. 
Perhaps  some of this is due to the AP Facebook page - I can't tell, since 
it is  apparently necessary to sign up for Facebook to view it - (which I 
absolutely  refuse to do). But there are a number of other English language 
Santiago  pilgrimaage websites nowadays and I have the feeling that it has all 
gotten  spread out. A number of pilgrims have started out their own 
pilgrimage forums  and I have seen at least one that seems to be thriving.

Unrelated observation. When we got home, I noticed there were  zero emails
from GoCamino. Thought I had turned it off or filtered it out  for the 
period
we were gone. No. Just no activity on that forum. Now there  has been a
little, but I have the impression that a lot of that activity  has moved to
the American Pilgrims  Facebook
page<https://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_57453722347>-  but
maybe somewhere else. Maybe they are all out walking. Any  thoughts?
