[QUOTE="Caminando, post: 59072, member: 6456"] Above, an elegant yet practical response to the question. Chris, I recently spent the night near SDC in a refugio where one of the alberguistas was a Spanish man on a velo. He was what could be called an eternal pilgrim, going up and down the caminos, over the long term. He enjoyed a smoke in the kitchen, and hung his sweaty clothes to dry in the public space where I had gone to escape his smoke. I returned to the kitchen and asked him to stop, which I should have done first of all. In that refugio, hidden under the hospitalero's desk where only he could see it, was a sheet of photos, mugshots if you like, of "undesirables". I'm not saying that you are the same as these people, but I mention it to show the kind of thing you are up against in (if I may say so) your dream of pilgrimage which can depend so much on the giving of others. Perceptions are important. I would suggest that, as you say you are in good health, that you plan well for your camino by taking some job beforehand and so be able to travel independently. Do that job in the spirit of preparation for an important journey, the preparation being as important as the camino itself. Right thinking, right preparation? Anyway, have a fulfilling camino! Buen camino [/QUOTE]
