Our famous Dutch soccer player Johan Cruyff said.. If you want to score, we must have the ball.. So after some setback, pick yourself up etc.etc... At the end will be Santiago..although is that the goal where we go for ? It is the way itself.
Nice discussion,Al the Optimist- I like that name and his sunshining face at the picture-started .
I love the challenge of life and the (general) way to go. And so I love the camino.

Great thread Al the optimist ! Thanks for letting me looking in the mirror again . I have the ball and am going to score ! The next camino is coming on.

Have a nice day.

Buen Camino
