[QUOTE="Anemone del Camino, post: 444035"] LOVE this post. Frankly never understood the essence of this thread as I have never heard this was an issue. Frankly, for me, the albegue communal living is fantastic. I grew up in summe camps and boarding schools amd miss that sense of community now that I'm a proper grown up. And let's face it, I could not afford 3 weeks vacation at the cost of a real hotel. But now, thanks to Jill I now have better vocabulary/reasons to express why I love albergue living. The two times I stayed in a pensioon the Norte (to break up an etapa that was too long for me) I felt soooo lonely, amd was soooo bored. And the mattress was not any better ;0) And I have a fantastic mattress at home, if it trumped Camino life I would stay home. This being said, I do not stay in donativos at times the Camino is busy, because I don't want to take a bed away from someone who might need it for less than the going rate. And when I do, I make sure I give what I would have laid elsewhere. Will not foreget Tineo: tall, think, long legged man waltzes in a fairly empty donativo. Clearly Ivy League alumn type, Investment banker/McKensie type. Hospies had taken the € from the till before he arrived ... And found nothing else in the morning. Trust me, you would not want anyone speaking of you in the terms the hospies did of this young man. [/QUOTE]
