Supplies

Yesterday I bought most of my supplies that will fill my backpack: a blister pack(not a pill one): which includes 2nd skin, moleskin, iodine for disinfecting a needle, thread, gauze, paper tape, and polysporin. It seems like an awful lot to pack, for the 'possibility' of blisters, but I do want to be prepared .
A pharmacist, who'd walked the Camino, advised me to bring hydrocortisone 1% for bites (bedbugs!, mosquitoes etc.), and chaffing.
I bought a 35 litre backpack, a one pound sleeping bag with silk liner, a pack poncho ( often used as a ground cover, or as a disguise for excretory functions, especially on the meseta), more wool socks, a camel water system, a towel that weighs 2 ounces, a silk night shirt and long johns, and varied clothing items that I'll have to consider before packing them.
Further along Broadway was a shop selling adapters for my camera's battery charger. I bought two adapters, in the event that I may lose one.
A.J. Brooks, where I'd bought my boots a year earlier, kindly, and most graciously stretched the toe of my boots for me. My toes feel much better with the extra room.

It was a very exhausting day with so many options, and my not being completely certain of what I would 'need'. Fortunately I was accompanied and supported, by a former Camino walker.

Preparing is certainly part of the journey.
