VDLP: April/May 2024
Help me out with some basic etiquette. I walked the CF last spring, but I’m still learning the ropes. I’ll be walking the VDLP in April, and I know I will see far fewer pilgrims when I’m walking. I’m wondering what others do in this situation: you slowly catch up with another pilgrim while walking. Let’s assume a solo pilgrim and you’re also alone. It’s not someone you’ve met previously. Do you walk past them, saying Buen Camino and continue walking past them, or do you slow your pace and walk along side them? It seems almost intrusive to suddenly be walking with them, essentially uninvited. But on the other hand perhaps some would perceive it to be rude if I was to pass them without slowing to walk with them for a bit.
Again, I’m thinking about the VDLP specifically here, as I think the lack of pilgrims might create a different vibe than what there is on the CF.
