What is the camino? Is it a bunch of monks in a life of poverty sharing their frugal meal of barley soup, crusty bread and an apple, is it attending Saturday mass in a freezing chapel in a mountain town where the entire village turns out to wish u a good walk to Santiago, is it pain beyond anything and still finding the energy and will to walk 12 more miles, is it a basque vilager bringing out his prized wine goatskin and sharing it or a former everest climber remembering his two phrases of Hindi to be able to wish u goodbye - it's all of these and not. In the end the camino is about you. 

Be the road
