[QUOTE="DwainS, post: 1166886, member: 93075"] I mentioned on this forum before I left on my camino this past May-June that I was 64 and a little bit shy about meeting new people. Well after my first day walking I was ready to go out for dinner in Burguete and this married couple from Ecuador said do you mind if we join you. It was a great, sort of put me in the right frame of mind the first night. Next night was my first communal meal, again got me used to talking to strangers. Two nights later I recognized a guy I seen walking from the day before, he was looking at a menu outside a bar and I said do you mind if I join you for dinner. I could not believe I asked a stranger to join him for dinner. Again, what a great dinner and from then on everything just seemed to fall into place. After that I felt way more relaxed talking to people and did not have just one group of people I walked with but many different groups along the way and felt completely comfortable with all of them. That's one of the ways the Camino changed me. [/QUOTE]
