    How About Work?

    I will walk the Camino with “NO” money

    hola Kazcynski not sure whether this comment tack has already been made by someone else - but it strikes me that you could have avoided the (sometimes angry) criticism and negative comment it seems you have called up by waiting until there was actually some genuine experience to relate ... maybe...

    The Beatles already answered this question - '...and in the End, the love you take is equal to the love you make ' So it's good if you feel you've made more than what you've taken - if not ,I guess there's nothing to do except you'll have to 'get up and do it again...amen!' (said Jackson)...

    Hola Having braved my share of albergues in 06 on the C Aragones and last qtr of VdlP, I'd say on the whole a private hotel room (w amenities) is preferable, hands down! - For some p & q which allows blissful 'this and that -and the spiritual-other'. But if an albergue is empty (or next to...
