1. I love the Camino when I simply get to walk alone for miles and miles
2. People who smoke along and on the Camino make me crazy, They collectively appear to have no respect for themselves the Camino or the other pilgrims
3. Why do many of the Spanish speaking Pilgrims joining at Sarria scream and yell at one another when they're simply walking down the Camino?
4. Not all Albergues are the same Or have the same standards for cleanliness and hospitality.
5. If Pete weighs just over 30 pounds and with Pete I have injured my ankle by overcompensating for Baby; what how much better would I be if I could simply lose a Pete or two?!
6. You can get stronger simply by walking
7. The human courage factor is unparalleled
8. Someone is always struggling more than you are.
9. Everyone has a story
10. You control absolutely nothing but your attitude!
11. You don't need all the stuff the Camino books tell you to bring. If you are going call me I will tell how to get there with 20# or less!
12. There is always one or two friendships forged on the Camino that stick far into the years.
13. You need hiking boots not tennis shoes.
14. 100s of 1000s complete the Camino in (give or take) 5 weeks
15. I will do another Trek, I will take all the lessons learned here and apply!

Love the random lessons and the diary! Take can of the Cellulitis, Baby and Pete. Keep Teking or come home, either way you are very successful and have learned a ton from the jounrney. Remember afterall, it is the jounrney that counts!
ReplyDeleteAh senorita Dawn, I was amiss to not follow your daily blog posts and had my own catching up to do, and was humbled in your telling of this adventure and spiritual journey. Life does have so many "treks" and finding lessons along the way tends to generally lead one to know that setting aside Ego is of the greatest importance. What a time you had, and experiences that will always be with you. Cheers to you and peace.
ReplyDeleteI do love the photos you have shared and especially like the one above with the two pilgrims contrasted against the wall.
Many more happy trails to you!
