[QUOTE="darealdeal77, post: 800137, member: 77812"] If I’m wrong someone correct me please! I though when the Camino or the Pilgrimage originated Back in the medieval times it was a way of a person to be forgiven of sins or some wrong doing they have done. They embarked on a pilgrimage without much, in hopes that others would be kind, forgiving and merciful. They relied on food donations, rides, places to stay, and kindness! At no time did they believe that by taking a handout or a ride they would be cheating, it was part of the Camino. When I did my Camino in 2014 I was suffering from PTSD and a horrible knee, I found days when I needed to take a bus, or a train, I say I definitely missed some stages/cities of the 800km trek. Talking this over with someone on the Camino brought this reaction: “It’s your Camino, It’s your Pilgrimage, it’s your walk!” No one can tell you how to do it. Yes, one must gather stamps, and one most finish the last 100km to get a Compostela, but the most important lesson here is to be you, walk your walk, and walk with the spiritual energy that made you be part of such a life changing event! Buen Camino [/QUOTE]
