Day 9 - Sansol to Logrono

A dedication......

Well, I woke up to some very sad news today. My dear friends dad - Alan Jennings - passed away suddenly this week. You could say that he is the reason I am on the camino... 🙏

When I first met Dominie - 5 years ago at Christ Church Grammar School - I was planning my 1st Bibbulmun track Venture experience. She proudly told me all about her dad, sister & brother doing the 'camino' back in 2015, I think it was. I'd never heard of this 'camino', but from that moment on, my curiosity beckoned me, and I knew that one day I would do it!

It was only a few weeks ago that I was thanking Alan for what I was about to embark upon! He had this presence that made you feel so comfortable and at home... a truly spectacular human being is 'Saint Alan' and what a proud life he has led... 7 children, 11 grandchildren, a beautiful wife, and LEAGUES of friends who love him unconditionally ... may his soul rest in peace 🙏

And so today, I pay homage to this proud, revered man, and I walk in dedication to Alan and his beautiful camino memories ... I'm pretty sure I felt him next to me coming out of Sansol.... he walked proudly with his held held high, taking in the fresh air and sights of the spanish countryside ❤️

It was a quiet walking day full of solitude and reflection ...Weiterlesen
