This is so beautifully written, Danielle! I completely agree that we're so often ignorant or unaware of the messages the universe is sharing.
One of my memorable moments along the Camino was a sharing circle that happened at the Albergue de la Santa Cruz in Sahagún. A Marist Brother working...
Judy DO NOT tempt me about walking another Camino. Because I will drop everything and do it right now! I'm eying up either the Camino Portuguese or the Camino Norte for my next Way, but perhaps I'll change my mind after looking at your site. Thank you for reading and commenting on my photo essay :)
Thank you! Second hardest day, huh — so curious to hear about your first! The route out of SJPDP may be challenging, but I wouldn't have traded it for anything. I still dream about that landscape!
You can never get too much Camino time. I'm already dreaming about my next walk — and am eying up the Portuguese Camino, so your blog will be helpful. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Dennis, thank you for reading! And for sharing your personal Camino blog. I love how open most are to sharing their reflections and photos from the Way. Everyone has such unique experiences, though bound together by a common love for the Camino. I will check it out! Happy New Year!
Thank you for your comment, Jenny! I can't wait to one day go back at another time of year and see the greens of La Meseta as others have spoken about. In the meantime, the wind, rain, and snow definitely made for some memorable days! But I look back on them so fondly.
Buen Camino for future...
Oh WOW! That's stunning! I know exactly where some of those were taken, too! You'll see my days through La Meseta were a bit foggier. Beautiful shots — thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks, Frank! I have many more hiking-related photo essays to post, and writing this one has offered some more motivation. The most similar other one I'd have would be the Layover Hat Trick, especially the part related to hiking the Laugavegur trek in Iceland...
Hello from Ontario! Thanks for taking the time to read, Martin. So glad you enjoyed it! Were the fields in La Meseta green at that time of year? I would love to go back when the poppies and sunflowers are blooming... Buen (future) camino!
Hello fellow pilgrims, past, present, and future! I've spent the past several weeks editing photos and formalizing thoughts from my Camino Frances experience this autumn. I walked from SJPDP to Finisterre.
I've recently published a photo essay about this journey, part long-form storytelling...
Thanks for your quick reply! I've already got a Spanish sim (based in Valencia) so I'll check coverage for the area. :) And hahaha, I thought allergies may be an autocorrect!!
Hi everyone! I'm wondering about WiFi / 4G access along the French Way. Anyone have any insights to share? I've just been accepted into a fellowship program and introductory calls are going to be happening when I'm walking in October.
I don't need non-stop access, but it would be great to know...
