<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>Gabrielle, all the showers we experienced on the camino were private.
<BR>Sometimes, the shower area was unisex, but there was always a solid door for
<BR>privacy. Truthfully, when it came time for a shower, I was generally much
<BR>more interested in the availability of hot water than privacy. Your
<BR>priorities change on the camino. I have no opinion about the material for
<BR>your hat although I will offer that I had to buy a hat along the way b/c I
<BR>started off with a baseball cap and the back of my ears got very sunburned,
<BR>so I needed to purchase a cap with a brim all around. Best wishes. Carolyn
