Hi Phil
<p>My brother in law is an ultralight hiker pro and he steered me to Rain
Shield - it's very very light, breatheable, windproof and cheap as well.
I'll know how it works for me when I get home 2/24 (I'm headed for Spain
on wednesday, yippee!). Keeping water out of the boots - try gaiters, or
minigaiters.
<p>buen camino

from e-mails is this is a good time to go in terms of not being difficult
to find accomodatons...definitely be prepared for cold mornings(bring gloves)
and much else, for which I am very grateful. However I still am wondering
about rain gear. Intially I intended to be thinking a poncho that covers
me and my back pack, then LLBean staff tried to stear me towards "rain
suit"...I definitely don't like hot but LLBean staff said rainsuit will
keep water out of my boots(good idea)...so what is the experience out there
in dealing with the rain in Spain, particularly on the meseta. Phil Judd</font></font></blockquote>
