Pilgrim Wisdom

Over on our Camino Blog, I’m running a series called “Camino Photo of the Day”. Occasionally, I will cross-post these here.

This sign is posted in the common room of the Municipal Albergue in Azofra. You will see or hear variations of this phrase all along the Camino. It’s not only a good explanation of the difference between a pilgrim and a tourist when you travel, it’s a pretty good rule of thumb for life. Particularly when you recall the words of Saint Francie de Sales, “we are all pilgrims in this mortal life”.
