Thanks David... a girl I know walked from sarria and she sent me a picture I'll try send it if I can find it but it seemed more like scarfs or that kind of thing I'll try find itHi Pasha, I don't know which particular cross you mean but you will find many shrines and crosses along the Camino and just about all of them have offerings of some sort left by them - the common being adding a stone and/or a small cross made out of twigs .. then you will see a single boot - why one boot? no idea at all!!

No matter what the sentiment, anything manufactured just becomes litter.
That is such a coincidence Rebekah.. I was literally just reading a thread where your name popped up twice.. I was about to check out "living the dream" then your comment came thruAs a Ditch-Pig Cleanup Busybody, I've cleared up tons of left-behind "mementos" on the camino. I've been confronted by people who consider this a desecration of their sacred offering at a sacred place.
IMHO, once you leave Uncle Fred's shoelace among the busted boots and neon Crocs and faded ribbons on the trail, you've just added more junk to the eyesore. One man's holy relic is another man's refuse. It's not going to stay there forever.
Be prepared, Scouts.

"I'm a Ditch Pig!" and that ain't all bad.
