Four years ago I would not have considered that this note, left by another pilgrim, would have been a sign that my Eva and I would be walking on this very trail, together, in August of 2019. I came upon this simple note which immediately brought me great joy, appreciation and love. I felt lighter and the burden of a long, hot day lessened.
I am getting excited! We are closing in on three months until we leave for the Camino. I am making lists, I have made our reservation for our rest day in Biarritz, France.
Then we will take a shuttle to St. Jean Pied au Port for one night, before we start up the Pyrenees.
I am waiting for my new 38L pack to arrive; a very thoughtful gift from my grandson, Dillon. This time I will begin the Camino, much lighter in “stuff”; if not much lighter in body weight 😂. Every once in awhile I collect one or two little items and put them in my “to take” basket that I am sure I will overfill and have to refine before packing. Right now I am having fun anticipating the journey….
“The Way is demanding and each part of the journey will make you question your will to keep on going….”
So excited to follow your journey! Alan and I can’t stop talking about doing it again. We will have to live vicariously through you for now,…I sure miss it, and think of it everyday.
It gets into your soul!🥰
