[Gocamino] hospitals, hospices, and refugios

[Kathy Gower]

To ad to the confusion, Eldor, a couple of Sundays ago the New York Times 
travel section had a great article about tourists staying in the hospital 
right next to Notre Dame, in Paris.  It mentioned walking past the gurneys 
and IV poles to get to some very classy suites with red comforters and all 
the trimmings!  (not cheap, by the way)

"I'd like to clarify some terminology used in various
guidebooks. When considering the early days of the
pilgrimage, are the terms hospital and hospice
interchangeable? And, are both what we think of when
we talk about refugios today?
