Hello Peregrinos!

Last week I returned home from my second Camino Francés! Again it was the best time of my life! I'm so happy and full of positive energy! It was very differente than the first one.. Last time I walked with my cousin. This time alone (but never alone). I can't say what is better.. Now I met soooo many great people there, we had a wonderful ''family''! I had the same feelings and absolute freedom around me!

I just wanted to share my feelings with someone who knows.. I need to walk again!!!! :)

This is great to hear Jan. I'm heading off on my second CF next week and there's a tiny nagging worry that it couldn't possibly match up to first time round, but whatever happens I'm sure it will be good.

I'm sure you'll be totally happy there! Every Camino is the best! :) Enjoy it!

I am planning my third 'last camino' for next April. Freedom is the operative word. Free from the everyday silly little worries of the artificial world (the camino is the real world), free from traffic congestion, free from shopping and free from television and the freedom to just be yourself without worrying what others may think. I could go on here but its a comment not a book :)
