[Gocamino] Yellow Arrow "Dumped"

[Pat Rush]

Dear All--I am saddened that the tasteless bare feet will be a "symbol" of
our dear Camino--as tasteless as the cartoon bicycle figures in Galicia.
Given the thousands and thousands of people who trek west every year, why
the attempt to secularize the symbolism?  Is it the socialist government?
Reminds me of some magazine ads I saw earlier this year touting Spain as a
tourist destination to Americans--they were appalling.
