<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Jose,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> That is a fair comment that you made, and I thank you for it. You said</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>that "maybe you (I) did not understand the meaning of this pilgrimage</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>(Camino)", The Camino means also "The Way" and I ask, the Way to what? I</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>took it to mean, a way to understand ones self, "Man know thy self" and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the way I understand the word piety is, a sense of devotion or duty to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>ones belief, and that is not why I am going to walk the Camino.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> I feel that one needs to clarify one self and one way to do this I feel</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>is by taking a long walk, and by doing this you rid yourself of common</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>feelings and normal thoughts that come from day to day living, a strange</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>place and a strange land really helps, and after may days solo on the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Camino this happen and then I will let the Camino talk to me.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> But I must say, religions that have icons and rituals scare me.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I shall see after my Camino if this path that I have chosen is right. I</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>do not have the the answer why one should walk the Camino, All I am</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>trying to do is understand why I need to walk it.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I welcome your comments</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Life is not short, but it is eternal</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>we have the great pleasure of passing through it.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>kind regards</FONT>
