[QUOTE="TomSawyer, post: 1199412, member: 105935"] I didn't want to mention the albergue because I'm writing about my experience and I don't speak for the albergue. I chose to serve at the albergue because I stayed there one night in January and loved both the albergue and the village. Yes, 98% of the pilgrims were amazing. Really. I had so many hugs when they left in the morning and I experienced some deep wisdom and felt humbled by it. I wrote the post because I can only imagine what it must be like if you own an albergue and you have to experience the 2% over and over again - season after season. Btw, the albergue owners insisted that I forget about the stolen money, but I was adamant that I pay it out of my pocket because I was responsible for collecting and storing the money. Eventually, I had to literally beg them to let me pay the money :) They are the most incredible albergue owners - a couple with three children - and I saw how deeply they believe in the way and in the act of pilgrimage. They can hardly be earning anything from their albergue, but they just love what they do. Therefore, it is a shame that they have to put up signs in the albergue such as 'Please don't steal the sheets'. Yes, they told me that sometimes some pilgrims steal the bed sheets and a blanket or two. [/QUOTE]
