Just thinking . . .

I sometimes feel that the Camino is the Woodstock of the 2000's.
Or maybe like the Grateful Dead followers.
Or people who have lived on communes.

People who were at Woodstock in 1969 can say "I was there" and they feel a comradery.

People who walk the Camino can say and feel the same.
It makes you part of a family.
I love it.

I was born in 1969. Far from New York. But now I understand Woodstock! I just hope I don't meet 400,000 people on the Via de la Plata next month.

You mean a "git fiddle" ?? I have always loved tie dyed shirts.

Oops reminds me of the thread about proper English gee tar = guitar

Wish you well, Peter.

Yes anniesantiago, just know how you feel.as I've said before,it's like greeting someone you've never met before with a shell around their necks and greeting them like a long lost friend--the conversation just flows doesn't it!! Or waving to someone with a camino sticker on the back window with a crazy smile on your (my) face too!! Yes, I have the shell around my neck and the sticker on the back window of the car!! And on the front of the house!! So am marked for life!! A nice happy thread Anniesantiago. Best wishes Annette

If I can swap Spirit and Joni Mitchell for the Grateful Dead, pass on Woodstock (I live in the UK) but confess to having lived on a commune, do I qualify?

You certainly have elevated your status in my mind. Life is to be experienced.

Commune has the same root meaning as community, and pilgrims are indeed a community. Thanks for the thought @Anniesantiago
