I don´t know what it is about me and towels. In all my years of travel (15 w/29 countries and 2 Caminos before this one), I have only lost 3 items and all 3 are towels.

However, the one I left behind in Viana yesterday (Monday) morning is extremely important to me. I got it when I stayed with the Kuna natives while resting in San Blas for a week 5 years ago. It is more of a surong and really does mean the world to me for many reasons. On the Camino, we talk of ¨letting go¨. The only other item I carry which I value as much are my prayer beads/medieval rosary. I could leave behind everything else, but this cloth is extremely important to me.

Might anyone be in Viana now or in the next couple of days? If so, I would love for you to ask if my surong/towel is still available. It is dark blue with yellow tribal type design. Please ask for me if they have it and let me know. I will work something out to retrieve if so. I have already emailed the alburgue: Andres Muñoz.

I thank you for looking out for me.

Keep a smile,
Simeon

Both my long sleeve shirts are still at the hotel in Viana, but that does not help with your towel problem. Maybe Viana is a magnet for forgetfulness... :mrgreen:

Good luck on retrieval.

Good luck with that towel, the hospitalier at Viana had mercy on my white hair and put me into a bottom bunk, I forgot there my parachute!

I suppose this post also goes to those beyond Viana who may meet people who have taken it perfectly innocently from a 'left garments shelf'. From the sound of it mralisn would be happy for it to be sent somewhere and reimburse the postage etc.

I have been assured there is a Camino Angel at work today, and I will have my beloved cloth by the time I sleep tonight in Tosantos. : )

Camino miracles happen! I returned a luggage clip (???) to its American owner on my first Camino, and it was described (slightly tongue in cheek) as a Camino miracle. She was happy to have it back. It's great when nice things happen, miracle or not.

Buen Camino!
