[QUOTE="Arctic_Alex, post: 1219818, member: 86720"] My expectations where simple, rather worldly and it was obvious that they would be met: 1. No other responsibility other than keep going, get food, and a place to sleep for the night ... and that for weeks. A simple uncomplicated and basic life. 2. Seeing an interesting part of Spain. 3. Meeting all kind of folks along the way, some interesting, some nice, some annoying. 4. Being able to eat and drink with little regret as I would burn it all while walking. As I was a seasoned longer distance hiker long before my first Camino it was not at all about a physical or mental challenge or overcoming fears and insecurities. Also I knew about how variations in weather will influence the character of a hiking day and that some would be great and others less great. So in that sense it was not a challenge that would make me grow. I did certainly not come back a different person. If there was any enlightenment then it was that I could confirm for myself that I was happy with my life choices so far and that I was glad to come home to the place that I had made my home during the last decade. And of course I became a Camino addict and want to go again and again on various Caminos ;-) [/QUOTE]
