[QUOTE="André Walker, post: 895097, member: 80985"] My first Camino, I came prepared. I had heard about the 'custom' to carry a stone and leave it at Cruz de Ferro and it appealed to me. I had my reasons to leave a stone... During one of my walks in Holland I just picked up a stone that was lying in the sand beside the path. At home I had this machine. I have no idea what it's called in English. It's used to drum stones (is 'drum' the correct word?): you put a small amount of stones in it, together with smaller stones. Then, like a washing machine, let it turn for a couple of weeks, until the stones become very smooth on the outside. Then another two weeks, adding polish. They come out quite shining. Then polishing it by hand for a couple of weeks, each day about an hour, while thinking about why I'm doing this and what the stone stood for. This way it was very meaningful for me to carry it with me and finally leaving it at Cruz de Ferro. [/QUOTE]
