[QUOTE="Edith Frost, post: 304569, member: 43325"] Oh. One other thing I should put out there just so there's a record of it. I don't want to add this to someone else's thread and I don't think it's worth putting into the "camino crime" area, but I do want it said. I had only one situation of seeing a man naked during my camino. It wasn't scary, just very odd. It was the day I was walking to Leon, April 27th. I was passing thru small villages and at one point I passed a small farm, or a least a large vegetable garden of some sort. I looked up (the camino was directly next to, but lower than the garden by a few feet) and I saw someone bending over with their back to me. It then dawned on me that the person had no pants on, or possibly had pants pulled down to their ankles which I couldn't see from that angle. So the idea that uh… flashed… through my mind was that I was either being mooned by a prankster or that this farmer-person was simply carrying on with his or her work without using pants! There was a fence between me and this person and I kept my gaze on them for a second as I approached, to be sure I was seeing what I thought I was seeing & to ensure I wasn't in danger. And the person just stayed there in that position mooning me without showing anything else or even giving any indication they'd noticed me. I did feel like it was probably a man and not a woman though, judging by the ass. (!?) So I passed and sped up my walk a bit, thinking wow. They never turned around so it probably isn't a flasher and I probably wasn't even being mooned; it must be someone just doing their gardening with no pants on! Okay then…!! In just a few hundred feet I came upon a herd of sheep. I stopped all enchanted, took a few pictures of the sheep, and talked to the shepherd a bit who told me I only had about 6km to go to Leon. I didn't mention seeing the apparent nudist. It just seemed… so very odd but I felt like, maybe that's somewhat acceptable here. This is Europe. They see nudity a lot differently here than they do in the U.S. I didn't feel like it was appropriate to make any kind of fuss about it, given that he never even looked at me and I never saw anything except his butt, and his shirt bent-over. Not even a head. So that's it, that's the one and only hairy ass I've seen on this trip. I feel very fortunate actually that it seemed so benign even at the time. However I do admit, doing that right adjacent to the camino seems like a pretty iffy thing. If I were into public nudity I wouldn't do it in that location, myself, knowing it's a place where people of all nationalities pass by. But who knows. It wasn't high season, very few pilgrims were around that day and maybe they really thought nobody would see. Or maybe they didn't care. Or maybe I *was* being mooned, either for the thrill or because they wanted to send that message, maybe they dislike pilgrims. I'll never know. [/QUOTE]
