If I end my life on the Camino, I will at least have left this life while doing something spectacular and close to my heart. Much preferred to a lonely deteriorated life in a nursing home.
Not bad.

Other than that, I am of...
I consider it an honor to shade the paths of others any chance I get! Never ever ever want to sit at a table where people are splitting checks. Ewwwww.
Honestly, I just pay it and move on.
I am older and make good money, and I know so many are on limited budgets. We almost always pay for meals and drinks for our fellow pilgrims that are in their twenties, sometimes 30s, because I know they...
Ok, here's something and it's hard not to be judgemental, I dont want to be.. but this is as good a place as any to post it:

Why? I'm not sure I'll ever really know.
Welcome to the Club......... :oops:
Now let's talk about shoes, and packs, and poles...
