Maybe Donna can start a "Pilgrim Protection" service through this area...kind of like the old Knights Templar. We could get her a horse and a lance..
I am envious of her accomplishments!
Let's try to calm this down a little. I can't think of any time except once we ever walked alone or out of sight of other pilgrims. The past five years I have been in rural Spain and three of them on the Camino I have only once (my imagination) felt a little weird about where I was. Spain is not the states, Europe is not the states, we are told that everywhere in the world is as stupid violent as the US, its not!
Dave, maybe you should talk knee exercises, something helpful.
Don't know about a lance...will a silver reflective hiking umbrella do?Maybe Donna can start a "Pilgrim Protection" service through this area...kind of like the old Knights Templar. We could get her a horse and a lance..
My most successful technique has always been speech - many years ago, when I lived in a commune in Wales, I went to the loo at three in the morning, to see the cellar door open and a guy completely mad on drugs coming out with a felling axe - I stopped, he stopped. ... I talked to him, gentled him, out logicked him, drew him to the kitchen, made him tea ... turned out that a voice had given him a mission, which was to take all the light out of the world, the light, of course, was in humans - so his intent was to kill us all in our beds - except that I was standing there in my underwear .... we stayed up all night until dawn, I moved slowly, spoke slowly, deep voice, soft, stayed out of his personal zone .. a couple of times I could have gone for the axe (I gave him toast too so he had both hands full a couple of times) but knew I was just a little too far away from him .... eventually he came down and became normal again - was a tense tense night and I know that had I attempted violence on him things could have gone very bad indeed, for all of us in the house ... but there you go!
