In 2017 I had never left Canada. I was working a minimum wage job and going home to play video games. A Call of Duty brat. One day with my Astro's blaring gunshots in my ears and me rage yelling at the screen... I thought to a movie I watched years and years ago. The Way. I put the joystick down and immediately decided I was going to walk this walk that I saw in that movie long ago. I called a travel agent right then and there and booked a flight in 2 weeks to leave for France. I wasn't a hiker. I wasn't active. I've never left my country. I researched so little in my journey from couch to phone, that I ended up having to pay 600 dollars in flight changing fees later on.
Researching before leaving is failing me again. I'm researching a lot more this time, however.. covid rules keep changing everyday. It is hard to keep up. Who knows if my feet will even touch Spain soil when I arrive. All news is welcomed!
I made a lot of terrible mistakes walking that camino. At this time 3 years ago I just made it into Logrono. I stayed here for 3 days to nurse a very angry meniscus. One of my biggest, probably avoidable to an extent, mistakes. Though I feel more prepared by learning from all my past camino mistakes... I still feel as if I'm making another big mistake by attempting to walk Del Norte in the midst of a pandemic. Definitely an attempt, as I don't believe it is possible. I strongly believe the camino provides... as it did many times over for me,.. but can its providing magic work through a pandemic?? I guess I'll see.
This time I will be bringing a friend for comfort. My childhood bear
. Teddy Freddy.
Thus my motto for this journey is... I always get to where I am going, by walking away from where I have been - Pooh Bear.
