German pastor opens home to pilgrims!

[Rebekah Scott]

Benno walked the Camino Frances in summer 2011. And just in time for Christmas he´s announced this... http://pilgerquartier-oh.npage.de/willk ... 54957.html

Pilgrims walking The Way through Oldenberg in Germany now have a place to stay -- at Benno´s house. If more people did things like this, the world would be a happier place.

Some other folks had a similar thought:

A Casa de Raposito (The House of the Little Fox, also known as my home) is due to welcome pilgrims by the end of January. 9 klms from the Camino to Muxia in the aldea of Carantoña. Walks, fishing, silence, the most beautiful beaches in the world, conversation, extensive book and DVD library and good food! 13th century Iglesia de St. Martin literally just across the road will need some help with restoring its gardens if you want to give something back. Solo donativo.
Foxy and I will provide a "post-camino sanctuary" for those with Compostela who wish to stay near the Camino 3 - 5 days more to reflect on their Camino. All faiths and none. Much more soon when I get out from under these GD boxes!

For the record: There is a difference between couch surfing and pilgrimming.

On his website, he says : "Angeregt durch eigene Erfahrung herzlicher Gastfreundschaft in dem privaten Pilgerquartier "Peaceable Kingdom" von Rebekah Scott und Patrick O´Gara in Moratinos(Spanien) auf dem Jakobsweg, haben wir uns entschlossen, ab 2012 ebenfalls Pilgern auf dem Mönchsweg eine einfache Unterkunft zu bieten."

To resume (in English) : it's thanks to his stay at your "Peaceable Kingdom" and your warm hospitality that they decided to propose accomodation to pilgrims...

Beautiful!
