[QUOTE="Anemone del Camino, post: 563981"] Laurie, you are right: you are not alone. Perhaps past of the reason there are so many Camino addicts here. I remember coming back home from C1 (1st Camino) ten years ago. I thought I had seen the light. I can be happy for very little, simplicity is great, aren’t people wonderful, you name it. Then I remembered some reverse culture shock training from biz school for students returning from a semester abroad. I also realised that if I was able to enjoy my Camino it was because of the rat race I participate in here at home. No good income = no vacation time, no cross puddle flights, no cafes con leches in the morning or vermud solera in the evening. And then my outlook on people had not changed, I had just been in a mix of like minded people whole walking. So little by little the Camino blues disappeared. And then I walked again in 2012 and every year after that. No more « Camino magic » just beautiful, inexpensive long distance walks in the country where my family is from and in usually excellent company. I think the biggest change in my life is the amount of Merino Tshirts I now buy (Costco has some new long sleeved ones for women in grey, navy, black and rd for 20$, and much better quality than the brand they used to carry), and the fact that when not at work I now tend to wear my Camino trousers and horror of horrors Hoka One Ones. My poor Spanish grandmother would be horrified. Enjoy what you have come back with in your heart, cherish it, don’t expect others to get it, and start planning your C2. [/QUOTE]
