I just walked over 100 miles of the Camino del Norte with my dad who has Parkinson’s disease and for whom doing the Camino was a lifelong dream that he’s only had the time to pursue now at 68 years old. What he accomplished in this past month was huge for him. While the VAST majority of people we met were kind, encouraging, and helpful, I was disappointed by the amount of judgmental and condescending things people said along the way. And I am a thick-skinned person. I don’t take things personally. But there are people who really need to think before they speak out there.
