The Camino: Starting Tomorrow

As I write this, I am on the bus from Pamplona to Saint Jean Pied De Port. I am on the way to start my journey on the Camino. The past month has been amazing seeing all the sites in Europe, but with the quick pace I have been keeping I haven’t had that much time to reflect. Hopefully the Camino will be different with hours and hours each day for thinking and walking. 

I have met several people already who are doing the Camino. Everyone is equipped with a backpack and possibly a walking stick or two. Some are doing the Camino on bike. But ultimately all of us are on own separate journeys and will experience different things on the Camino. 

I am excited but also nervous as well. I am glad I took an extra day in Pamplona to rest. My body and soul needed it after backpacking through Europe for the past month. I am nervous for the physicality of this hike. If you know me, I am not the most outdoorsy person. The one substantial hike I have been on I seriously thought I was going to die on it. Haha. So doing this is a stretch for me for sure. 

What will God do in me as I hike the Camino? I don’t know. I ame hoping to take it day by day, kilometer by kilometer, and step my step. It’s all in the journey right!

Till next time! Buen Camino!

The day before I start the Camino

  

Saint Jean Pied De Port

 FYI. The bus ride sucked. The road was super windy and there was no air circulation at all. I thought I was going to be sick within the first 15 min. Oh well! I made it safe!
