Finally internet at a hostel. I decided to stay at remote places and check out the donativo experience on the Camino. I stayed at a church in Granon and my first thought was that it was going to be a painful experience. Sleeping on the floor with just mats in an old church that was a little eerie for my taste. I was completely wrong of course. It was the best experience on the camino so far. I highly recommend any donativo experience. Donativo albergue´s usually eat dinner together with all the pilgrams. We made food for the next evening for the next day pilgrams as we prepared the food from what the previous pilgrams had left us. After dinner we are treated with one of the staff singing a song in the church while we prayed and shared our thoughts during a passing the candle ceromony. It was quite emotional at one point when a German pilgram explained that one of his friend had passed away that evening and he had just received the news a few hours before dinner. Death is always tough...but I´m sure he´s now one of his angels watching over him during his walk.
Luckily I have yet to get lost on the camino. Whenever I feel like I can´t find the markings on the road I either run into some random locals that point the directions to the right path.
I have tons more that I have written in my journal that I will share with everyone but I will stop here since all the one euro per 20 min on the internet are adding up. As soon as I get to a PC with an USB port I will post all the beautiful sights from this journey.
You do not find the path...the path finds you...the path can not be defined as it defines you.
