Google Camino and donkey and everyone has a story—there is Shinto and Praline and..... In fact some guy from the U.K. even wrote a book about travelling The Way called One Man and His Ass on a Pilgrimage to Santiago. So, you can imagine our excitement when we received a text from another Pilgrim alerting us that there was a Camino donkey sighting ahead.
A cynic would say, “Can anyone just bring his donkey—pop up a tent—and set out a dish for coins?” Personally, I applaud the effort. Chewy and his human, tent and all, are just outside of Melide. For a meagre donation you get carrots to feed Chewy, as much donkey play time as you want, and best of all a donkey stamp for your credential. I suppose you are encouraging Chewy on his way as the imprint has a little donkey with wings and the words Fly Chewy. Any day I get to interact with a cool animal is a great day in my books. Thank you for Blessing this Pilgrim. Buen Camino and may your donkey journey take flight. Fabulous day for walking. Feeling great in spite of more bites. Another Pilgrim suggested I scratch them with the crust of my bocadillo.—that really says something about Spanish bread. You are Always in My Prayers. Love Mom.
