The donation plate was there yesterday and clothes hanging on a line.It was there when I first passed that way in 2015, so it has been there a while! I used to see a donation plate outside with some coins on it, (used to have note asking for donations in badly written English I think)? but last time I passed in 2017 I thought it looked abandoned (the tent was half collapsed and half open).
Always wondered what was the story myself! Hope somebody knows.

So he didn't tell you any more? why he was living in a tent on the camino way? What age group is he in do you think?I stopped there in the fall of 2017. A guy poked his head out and asked for a couple of euro. I said ok only if he tells me his story. Turns out he was born in Australia to dutch parents. When he was only 4 his parents moved with him back to Holland where he was raised the rest of his life.

Absoutly without a doubt what you just said. We walk on our camino and miss the important things "a person life" in a tent and what they have been through and why life has taken them there. I always remember that tent 2 years ago and often thought about "who lives there" We wander by with our back packs and glance and keep walking. For me that stopped me ...and etched a memory but more to find out who this person is ..Lots of eternal pilgrims , more often than not with a serious background of homelessness and / or PTSD ( lots of ex -military ) camp out on the different Caminos.
May they be treated with kindness and compassion.
Happens in other places too. I met a number of homeless men walking the Shikoku 88 temple circuit in Japan and shared huts overnight on two occasions with two of them. Glad to report that I was welcomed politely by both men and that I saw both being welcomed by local people who offered food to them and also to me.Lots of eternal pilgrims , more often than not with a serious background of homelessness and / or PTSD ( lots of ex -military ) camp out on the different Caminos.

So it is a "he" and what "intent". could be a million things! just curiousApparently he was arrested for loitering with intent, sorry had to be done

Sorry should have said maybe only the English will get itPlease do not underestimate us non native English speakers!
I doubt that the English will be amused. But it might get a laugh from campers and cetaceans. It's a joke with limited appeal to all in tents and porpoises.Sorry should have said maybe only the English will get it
