Five Weeks to Go Date 21 May 2025 Total This Camino: 0 miles. Total All Caminos: 2353 miles Airplane $ 1360  Travel Insurance $ 360  Need Google Voice Recognition Support Went over to  Pilgrim Community Forum  today because I just can not stand any longer Google's pathetic support for their formerly not-so-bad voice recognition and translation app. ... Already have a response for an app. Will check it out later. Had been using Google translate. For some time now, it has been a complete failure on Google's part. Very long recognition times and processing times. I have an Android Pixel 8. Whether I use webpage translate or the android specific app, the world will end before it reacts to any voice prompt, let alone provide a translation. What are you using? or recommend? I need English (native), Spanish (non-native speaker) and German (level B1). Starting Camino Ebro in late June in Deltebre. Thanks in advance and regards, R/ Larry OHeron Training ...

April 2025 - Two Months to Spain Date 30 Apr 2025 Total This Camino: 0 miles. Total All Caminos: 2353 miles Airplane $ 1360  Travel Insurance $ 360  April 12th Saturday: Got the backpack out of storage and loaded it up with a couple sets of clothes and some pairs of shoes, that is hiking shoes, and flip-flops and some gear like towels and a sleeping liner.  Going on a hike tomorrow morning with the Genesee Valley hiking Club, and it's time to put that backpack on the shoulders and start walking with it.  April 20th Sunday: Got two hikes with the backpack done now. Both three miles. Feels comfortable. Do need to get in better shape for the long haul. As my various spring courses are coming to an end, I have more time for physical training. Following the usual routine. Looking for interesting courses at the YMCA that provide some measure of overall conditioning. Not really into body-building or targeting. Would just like all parts to function reas...
