planning...

i'm usually a fly by the seat of my pants kind of gal. but the camino... while once you get there may be a fly by the seat of your pants kind of thing, before... there should be planning. especially if i'm doing it in a unusual sort of way.

so since i'm planning to walk it in 12th century garb, i'm starting to make plans. plans for what the clothing should look like. after all, i'm planning on taking 3 "underdresses"--they be made with pretty much the lightest weight silk i can find i think... so they'll dry quickly; and 2 "overdresses". i'm not completely sure what i'm making those out of... possibly linen, possibly silk. still debate, on those. but one way or the other, planning is required. PLUS: people are purchasing pouches that need to be made out of the fabric of this clothing. that makes it more interesting.

here's a little video with images of shells.... if you watch you'll understand why.
