[QUOTE="KayfromUK, post: 1172289, member: 110564"] I haven't done the Camino yet, but it's heart-warming to read so much kindness and trust exist in Camino. These days, I am even suspicious of opening the door on Halloween night as you never know who are out in the dark as I live alone. Their parents are also cautious and accompany the children. However, I have also experienced the kindness of the locals 30 some years ago in former Jugoslavia. It wasn't a Camino but I was on my art college project wandering through the country with my backpack and a sketchbook. I used to go to the tourist information to find an accomodation for the night. When I arrived Jaice, I tried to find the info office. I asked the local where it was. It turned out it was the other side of the town and the local thought it was too far. People started gathering, discussing what to do with this foreign girl. Eventually, one of the men offered his family home for me to stay. I tried to pay for the night but he didn't accept. when I told him I was going out to eat, he told me to sit down and gave me dinner. We didn't have a common language. I had a sebro-croatian phrase book. All I could do was to pick up a simple phrase and read. Since we couldn't hold a conversation, when I left them the next day, it was the last time we had any contact. I had a trust in them and they welcomed this stranger. Perhaps, some locals have more trust on priglims than other tourists, built on the long history. I wish the trust will continue. [/QUOTE]
