[QUOTE="StuartM, post: 1056408, member: 21417"] I walked ten years ago and I found the graffiti depressing, especially the closer you got to Santiago where it seemed to ramp up. Most of it just made me think "why bother?", it was often badly written, badly spelled rubbish (and I say that as someone who is slightly dyslexic). Very little of it was profound, funny, inspiring or anything remotely positive and just a bit of ego indulgence. Some of it would occasionally be fairly offensive (the odd bits of very racist graffiti here and there are what sticks in my mind). But there was one thing that I must admit made me smile. Occasionally on a road sign someone had written "STEFANO GOES TO SANTIAGO" in small letters. Once I began noticing it I'd start to look for it and "Stefano" had become a companion. When I'd gone a long way without seeing anything I'd get worried that maybe he hadn't made it or something had happened. And then I'd spot one and feel happy for him. I always wondered about who he was. Was he a few steps ahead of me? Or had he been years ahead of me? Had I shared a room with him or had he walked long before I even considered going? I never did see a "STEFANO GOT TO SANTIAGO" but I do remember seeing a final tag in the outskirts of Santiago so I guess he made it. [/QUOTE]
