I love the idea of this post and any others which give Ivar some material for the forum at this difficult timeI've a few of these photos, where I'm captured in the picture I was trying to take... Have you any to share? View attachment 80215
You could have them made into a lovely toss pillow for your sofa...tattered pockets, ripped hem and all !Sweat, sun, age, washing, everything
But by this time I was already famous so I continued to walk in them. And still have them as a souvenir
You are right, Kinky...those clothes DO smell bad!There's an anecdote connected to this photo.
It was my third day on Camino de Madrid and when coming to Cercedilla there's polideportivo on the left of the main street/Camino. The janitor signed me in and took me upstairs to this small gym with mirror on one entire wall. There was a stack of yoga mats of which I put two together and make my bed for the night. After shower I displayed all my gear around the place, dirty, smelly and wet clothes included because on Camino I do the washing every 2nd day and it was my 3rd
I went to the market, bought some provisions and beer (i.e. liquid food), sat on a bench just watching locals milling around for some time. When I returned to polideportivo the janitor was not in his booth so I just went upstairs and bumped into "my" gym when I realized there was this bunch of slightly older ladies than myself doing their evening zumba workout. After few moments of surprise (we were all like frozen in the moment) I excused myself and closed the doors, went downstairs, sat on the curb and open another beer. Embarrassed completely when realised what a mess I left behind together with smelly socks, undies etc. displayed there.
Quarter of an hour later the ladies came out of polideportivo with a lot of giggling, winking, nodding and whispering...
Great idea!Fun photo thread @KJFSophie To help remember names of places I've stayed, I take photos of the signs. This one was on a glass door - Albergue Laganares in San Nicolás del Real Camino
