- Time of past OR future Camino
- walking every day for the rest of my life
A few weeks back I started a thread called Thoroughly depressing
It was prompted by an afternoon spent looking at the first week of photos from our Via de la Plata when it rained every day and we often ended up with no warm showers at the end of the day.
I have just spent an hour flicking through photos from a different part of the walk. What a different feeling I am left with! It was HOT, scorching hot! The emotions evoked by those photos are quite different. In fact it was like a completely different camino. I remember exhaustion, mirages, determination not to grizzle about the heat knowing we'd just been walking in rain! And more rain was to come;-)
Photos, images, journals - they bring such powerful memories.
I can't walk any camino this year, but I am ready for another!!!!! And I really want to do one without my kids!
