[QUOTE="PilgrimChris, post: 58883, member: 10096"] Dear Carole Hello! I read catholic_chris' original post and he certainly does not appear to be a "modern day trekker" nor a mendicant etc. I like to look at the good in all people and in these forums all we can do is trust in what people say about themselves. After all we have no reason to do otherwise do we? As for the support of pilgrims by "towns and villages along the camino routes" only being given if there is "some thing in it for them" surely this could be seen as insulting to all the refugios, albergues, monasteries, churches and private houses that only ask for a donation to cover costs and to the hospitaleras and volunteers who help keep these places running at cost to themselves not to mention the very kind spanish people who offer directions, permission to camp freely on their land or even just a friendly smile to those passing pilgrims? catholic_chris also stated he was willing to work in any way suitable for any generosity shown him so i think that covers your valid point of supporting the camino network - support doesn't always mean money after all :) You certainly haven't offended me Carole though i am humbled by your sentiment not to offend :) . Indeed I agree with all your points - just not in the case of catholic_chris whom none of them seem to apply and as this thread was started by him in good faith let us all wish him well on his journey and let us not try to interpret his motives - rather let us take them at face value as surely that is the better path? God bless you Carole or please accept my kindest regards if you prefer Chris [/QUOTE]
