We both got bed bugs in the refugio in Hontanas and we had diner together on Ju- ly 7 in the albergue in Boadilla del Camino (together with Derek, the former US-soldier, who star- ted his pilgrimage in UK as well and a woman from Italy who refu- sed to talk french although no - body of us understood Italian ). I remember that we had a discus- sion about the question whether Rome ( the official church) sup- ported pilgrimage at all times. Actually I had the position that this was not the case at all ti- mes but you contradicted.I could not give sufficient evidence for my thesis at that time but some days ago I refound the (German) book where I read the facts that I had in mind. It´s a book about St. James roads in Germa- ny ( Jürgen Kaiser , Jakobswege in Deutschland , page 155 ).In it there is a chapter titled "Ende der Fernwallfahrten" (The end of long-distance pilgrima - ges).I hope you will understand the German quotation :"Im 18. Jahrhundert kamen Amtskirche und die deutschen Kleinstaaten über- ein,dass Fernwallfahrten abzu - schaffen seien. Die Kirche nahm vor allem am ausgelassenen Trei- ben an den Wallfahrtsorten ,mit Musik, Tanz und Feiern Anstoss, wie es ihr überhaupt moralisch verdächtig war, dass sich Ge - meindemitglieder beiderlei Ge - schlechts aus der Kontrolle ih- res Ortspfarrers entfernten. Für die Kleinstaaten spielten wirt- schaftliche Gründe eine Rolle, Fernwallfahrten abzulehnen. Denn die Menschen waren in ihren Au - gen dazu da, zu arbeiten und Steuern zu zahlen und nicht, um wochenlang durch fremde Länder zu ziehen und dort ihr Geld aus- zugeben..." But maybe it was re- stricted to the German territo- ries, that long-distance pilgri- mages were not supported by the official church during the 18 th and 19 th century ! Anyway I hope you reached Santi- ago in well shape and you got a lot of donations for the Whizz- Kidz ! I myself reached Santiago on july 22 and got a second time attacked by bed-bugs in a hostal in Finisterre. By the way, have you got a mail address of De- rek ? He intended to go to Isra- el and then return to the United States to study law or town plan ning . E ultreia ! Alexander (Cologne to Santiago)
last year we met on the camino
to Santiago. We both got bed
bugs in the refugio in Hontanas
and we had diner together on Ju-
