[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 179387, member: 21538"] Walking alone on the Camino Frances was so peaceful. I walked from SJPdP to Santiago 97% of the time alone, it was magical. I do however, have a great awareness of my surroundings, good instinct and intuition. But was caught off guard on the early morning of day 2 when leaving Roncesvalles after stopping at the market a few k's up the road. I came across a small elderly local Spaniard male who was out for his morning stroll. He tried to speak with me but I don't know much Spanish. As I started to pass him he hurried up next to me and reached out his hand, so I went to shake it and as our hands gripped, he tried to pull me in and lay a wet one on me....yes folks he tried to kiss me on the mouth. Ewwww...... I yelled No, No as I released his grip. That was that until many days later, gosh I can't recall where but it was a more remote area when a man (not a pilgrim) came towards me from the opposite direction. As he approached, I felt myself puff up, stand taller and bigger. As we came upon each other, he too reached his hand out as to shake, but I wasn't falling for that one again..........I said NO and continued on my way. To all the ladies who are brave and take on this journey alone, just be aware, say your prayers and enjoy the peace of the Camino. Peace be with you and may the Lord guide your steps. [/QUOTE]
