If Yogi Berra Had Walked The Camino He Might Have Said...

Yogi Berra is a famous American baseball played. He played for the New York Yankees in the 40's, 50's, and 60's. His often quoted "Yogi-isms" are surprisingly relevant to the Camino, with few modifications. Here are a couple. Do you have any?

The Camino is 90 percent physical. The other half is mental.

You can see a lot by just looking.

No one goes to that Albergue anymore. It's always too crowded.

"If you don't know where you are going, you will wind up somewhere else."

Buen Camino!

Just one of the famous quotes from one of our football (soccer) players, adapted for Camino:

"While walking the Camino I've hurt my knee. The one on my leg."
 
I don't know why the earlier pilgrims didn't make it easier for themselves and just walk on the N120

Just got another one:
"It's always worse before it gets better."

Really like that one. So true. Similar to:

- Why are gypsies (romes) smiling when it rains?
- Because they know the sun will shine afterwards.
 
It's not too far, it just seems like it is.

We have a good time together, even when we are not together.
 
Hahaha, PMSLAW, apropos your first quote in the last post I have to reveal one of my mom's (of course adapted for Camino). She really became kind of a philosopher after three wins over cancer. She had also walked St.Jean - Logrono in 2009 with me.

"When walking the Camino you can make yourself miserable or strong. But the amount of walking will be still the same."

If Yogi Berra read through these comments:
"I didn't really say everything I said."
 
Yogi remarks on walking the Meseta: "It ain't the heat, it's the humility."

Yogi on some Camino beginners: "There are some people who, if they don't already know, you can't tell 'em."

Yogi or finding Camino companions: "Pair up in threes."

Yogi on the "km yet to go" post leaving SJPP: "It's pretty far, but it doesn't seem like it."

Who said he had died? If you gotta wait till you die to rest in peace....... life ain´t worth living don´t you think?

Buen Camino!
 
Y.B. sitting in Plaza do Obradoiro (or any other Plaza) watching older woman:
"Throwing grain is in vain. The square belongs to pidgeons."

But maybe he should say "to pilgrims"

Yogi weather prognosis:

Wondering if you might be too old to walk another Camino? Perhaps these Stanford boots might help.
