We stopped at a copy shop and had some pages printed that a Camino Forum member sent us from his guide book for our upcoming Camino Ebro. Then we went to the Asian Bazaar for a pocket knife and corkscrew for our walking time. Finally we stopped to get a few groceries. I am trying not to overshop. Last time I carried several extra pounds of grocery stuff, but this time I need to leave room so I can carry more of Phil's stuff next week.
