I did the same, although I was not good at journaling. I plan to blog next time. I expect that will be a great record of the journey. The one regret I have about my first Camino is that I didn’t document it well in writing.I always carried a small Moleskine notebook which usually came back empty or with a few incoherent jotting, then I discovered blogging. Now I find the discipline of writing a daily blog, with photos, a very good way of lining up my memories and I publish whenever I find reasonable free WiFi.
My sister also gave me a heavy journal but it was too bulky and i left it at home. I chose to write a blog in my ipad, also heavy but i sacrificed myself to carry it and never regretted this decision. I had never written for others before and it was very rewarding. ( you can get an idea of the camino experience at http://jacscamino.wordpress.com. Be sure to scroll down to the very last page to read this chronologically) meanwhile, your body will thank you for leaving most unnecessary items at home, believe me!Hi all! Our journey begins in 3 days! We're very excited! My dear sister gave me a beautiful albeit heavy journal and suggestions as to what to write as my birthday gift. What a beautiful gift! Today I felt curious about what others take and what others find useful to write. Please share!
I imagine you are already there and have lots to write about. We walked the Camino last year Sept-Oct. and I wrote each day in a very inexpensive note pad. On the 1 year anniversary of our start date I began to read a journal entry each day. It was a wonderful way to remind ourselves of our journey. I am so thankful that I wrote as much as I did!!Hi all! Our journey begins in 3 days! We're very excited!

I journaled on my 2012 Camino and again on my 2017 Camino ... both trips in the same lightweight notebook. Interesting comparisons. I am currently in Italy for 6 weeks and have a dedicated journal for this country, if I should return ... walked 5 days on the Cammino di Assisi. Journaling helps me capture the memories of the day and is relaxing end to each day.
