    Not a terrible Camino. A very hard one with deep challenges but problems with a solution are no longer problems.

    The real heroes in my story are Bertrand and Basia of the Flores del Camino in Castillo de los Polvazares who took me in even when some thought I was a scammer, and my dear Camino friends Susan, Jack and Joni. I was sick, sad, broke and misunderstood with nowhere to go and no way to pay for...

    I ADORE this story and it is already happening to me. What an outpouring of caring tenderness I have received and what a difference a day and a sleep makes. Gracias David. I am walking the Camino because I need to process a loss just like your story, so what I saw happening was just putting me...

    Mine was in a travel pack on my waist. There was a sudden flurry of people “helping” me that I did not solicit. I can’t be sure but that was the only time in the day someone else touched me closely
