LIVE from the Camino Second time on the Frances

[burritobear9]

While I had a trip planned to Europe this summer (with a friend and her two boys)
It was definitely not supposed to include a solo adventure on the Camino
However, two weeks into our journey we have taken different paths (but will meet up again to travel home to Canada)
And I have landed back on the Camino
I am feeling very blessed to be back this year (I did Sarria to Finisterre last July)
Started in Ponferrada and will take it day by day.
Buen Camino

Buen camino,

Well, I did it with my pack this year
And struggled with blisters
And my boots, that I love dearly, and have been good to me for over a year, really failed me
I think I have lost a toenail, but I am afraid to look.
All in all, I walked from Ponferrada to Portomarin,
caught a taxi back to a Sarria and bussed to Santiago
Where I have been enjoying the lovely town
Attended mass today
Got to see the Butafumeria, which didn't swing at last year's mass
I went an hour early, and was sitting right underneath the swing
It was extremely emotional.

All, in all, for a spur of the moment journey, it has been glorious

Well done! It is disappointing when trusted equipment, like your boots, suddenly don't work as they had. Still, you did what you had to do to have fun, and that is a most worthy goal.
