What I've learned on the camino so far

1. Bathrooms can be rated on a 1-5 scale in terms of their inventory, which may or may or not include: toilet paper, a seat, a lock, a light, more than 2x3 feet of space.

2. Never before this journey did I know what physical fatigue felt like.

3. I hate Germans. (Tom who is German said this so we asked why) They are negative and unrelaxed and way too strict.

4. Roly says: If you're going to do the camino don't be negative. Be prepared for absolutely everything that you could be prepared for on a socialogical scale because people will test you. We have a companion who snores and two pilgrims began complaining about his snoring in their €5 room. They were complaining in Spanish and Roly confronted them, so I'll repeat the advice he gave the pilgrims. Bring fucking ear plugs or shut the fuck up (he was nicer about it).

5. Italians give all of their emotion to the extreme. Anger, love, sadness. -

6. Even pilgrims can be stuck up bitches - look up the word pilgrim for me please.

7. Don't be afraid to check out albergues before you agree to stay there.

8. Don't take advantage of people that have money, and appreciate all generosity.

9. Duct tape

10. Be wary of strange priests.

11. "Can you quote me?" Yes "Um, damn it come back to me I can't remember" "ok ok, I remember" - this wasn't worth quoting lol

12. Showers are a blessed thing

13. Be thankful of the time you get to spend with the good people in your many camino families because they can separate over night.
