Second Camino, del Norte

I walked past the seaside several times today, not always am I walking so close to the shores. With many shades of blues and greens, it's so pleasant to gaze on while catching my breath between climbs. We share an early morning breakfast before we head off for the day's walk.
I grew to love each one of these lovely people as we challenge through each day.
Sandra is walking through the river, balancing stone by stone. We each had to do the river dance to keep the feet dry. I scaled it in sandles and socks with the success of dry feet.
I love how, in a public bathroom, there is a toothbrush and paste dispenser.✔️
Taking moments to enjoy the oceanside is always rejuvinating, and it is a good time to take our snack and rest.
Chestnuts grow everywhere. One can collect such a harvest here.
We stayed in a very clean alberque tonight. It's a real comfort when bunks have curtains, it's then our own private cubbyhole.
As we each head off to our days journeys, on each our own pace and time scheduals, some we may walk with, meet at the end of the day, or never meet again. It's most often hello, good- bye. We share stories, secrets, ambitions, and quanderies. We consol, comfort and encourage eachother. It's quite a therapy session on the Camino.
There are nearly twelve days left of this walk. The closer we get to Santiago, the faster our pace becomes.
We all will come to the end of our journeys changed in subtle ways. Returning home in a slightly altered state, all improved, readjusted. And the memories we will carry will continue to amuse and comfort us for all our lives.Leggi altro
