338/499 … a sword of Kindness (10/20/08)

I had heard about Ruitelan’s donativo hostel (“Pequeño Patola”) from other pilgrims along the Way, and it turned out to be everything recommended and more.  Carlos, the manager, was stern but caring, which means a lot at the end of a long day of walking and wandering and getting lost (and eventually finding my way back).  After all, Kindness is Kindness — no matter how or from whom you receive it.

“A kind act can sometimes be as powerful as a sword.” ~ Rick Riordan
