I've been back now for two weeks. I meant to post earlier but have been entertaining doing the NYC thing with a few friends from Spain that have been staying with me.
First off I'm sorry I didn't get to visit the Pilgrim house. My last night in Galicia was rushed. I will definitely stop by next year.
I only walked from Leon to Santiago but I have the Norte route in the crosshairs for next year.
What I learned?
I own too much stuff. Over the next few months half of it is either going to charity or in the garbage.
I want to get in much better shape. The hills unexpectedly challenged me.
Next time they won't.
I want to see more of Europe. Spain will always be my home base in Europe because of my friends that live there but in the coming years my trips to Spain will include hops over to England, Scotland, France, Germany etc.
At times the food was great, other times it was only so so.
I'm not a big fan of the same pilgrim menu del dia day after day.
Also I doubt I will ever walk again in August. Too many tourists.
Overall it was a wonderful, hopefully life changing experience.
