Hi All,
I walked the Camino Frances in April/May 2008. A year ago today I walked from Orisson to Roncesvalles. I find myself remembering the way clearer than at any time during the past year. I remember the breakfast with new friends, the wonderful view, the very strong wind blowing in gusts that sometimes blew me of the road (thankfully it was a clear day), meeting a very curious horse that wanted to make friends, the elation when I saw the rooftops of Roncesvalles, the steep way down, the feeling of accomplishment on reaching Roncesvalles, great sandwich and cold beer. Then getting my credential stamped, walking into the huge albergue. When we left the restaurant that evening we found that the villiage was shrouded in a magical mist wich made everything look so unreal. With so many pilgrims in one room I found the night strangely quiet, I remember going to the bathroom during the night and coming back into the room out of the light it was dark and I couldn't find my bed! So many memories! I know that for the next 31 days my heart and my mind will not be where my body is. I have made up my mind - I have to go back!!!!
Buen Camino
