I started this journey not knowing what to expect…

Here I am, three days into this amazing trip, finishing a lovely dinner with old friends and new friends.  So many beautiful sights, thousands of steps where so many have walked before, incredible stories from people all over the world who are joined by this experience…the Camino.

Sitting in this chilly night under a sliver of the moon, I look forward to the next 5 days and thankful for what this has brought so far.

Buen Camino

I came to Europe alone to cross something off of my bucket list and learn more about myself and the world around me by walking 500 miles like that one song by the Proclaimers. It’s only been 4 days walking and I already find myself astounded by the show of human kindness I’ve seen between strangers. I came alone but soon realized that you are never alone on the Camino. As I sit here at this albergue I am content in knowing that I can meet amazing people and life long friends even on the other side of the world.

Buen Camino!
