The Rocky Road

There seems to be many answers to the question: “Why are you walking the Camino?” Two anecdotes from today-  we met a British man that hadn’t been able to find lodging in San Juan so he had taken a cab to Burgos for a hotel. Then early this morning he took another cab back to San Juan so that he still walk that leg of the Camino. Another guy had hurt his knee at some point but had rented a mountain bike to finish the Camino walk.
