Please be careful while getting out of Lisbon, that was were I was attacked in September. You can search my posts from that time.
I would recommend that you try to walk with someone, maybe you will meet someone at the hostel in Lisbon.
Hi Marty, I completely get where you are coming from. Being candid is a good thing
For me revenge does not lead to anything good. On my side took action by contacting the portugués TV station and also Via Lusitanawhi, who then contacted the Ministry of Tourism, all these to create pressure to...
Stephen, I receive that blessing with open arms. We need to spread tolerance, understanding, peace and more love around the world. Let's make of THe World My Village a movement
My dear Laurie, hugs and kisses back to you. Will never forget how quickly you responded to my request to make others aware of what happened immediately, in addition to have given me a new friendship with Via Lusitana's staff. I never felt alone during this time ❤️
Thanks
Peter, thanks for those kind words. I am moving forward with life as there is only one to live. I learned that life can change in a minute so we better listen to our inner voice and do what we love

Role model? Oh no, I am just a "gal" who truly believes we can be better. Idealistic for some but not for me or us. Peregrino is not just a word, is a way of living by trying to be the best we can be everyday. Not easy, but we should try
Thanks for your kind word

My new friends who I met at the hostel in Tomar. They are members of this forum and left early this morning to continue their Camino. I had to take their photo at 5:30am or so before they left. They are looking good.
Whishing them Bom Caminho!
Kirkwall, thanks for this and thinking of me. Know that I am doing very well and continuing my travels. I am in Tomar now having a nice time. As a matter of fact I booked a hostel that I did not know where mostly peregrinos. I met a couple of lovely ladies that are part of this forum and knew by...
Thanks Marianne, I am doing very well.
Great rules of thumb. Thankfully I had a copy of my passport. Although realistically if they want to rob you they know what to do, where to look, more so if there is no one around and feel they have time to do their thing.
