10/6/24 Cleanliness

Another aspect of the Camino is that you are never fully clean. Everyday after you walk, if you are fortunate you can hand wash you clothes at the albergue and hang them out to dry on the clothes line.. If there is sun and wind, the clothes will dry. Sometimes I just hang out my sweaty items to dry and then do the smell test–if it smells OK, then I wear it again. And everyone smells. No one on the Camino is clean.

There are times, like on a rainy day, I washed all my clothes and wore the cleanest items I had. You get used to a different level of hygiene.
