Hi all!
I'm sitting in a cafe in Rosales del Pan (just out of Zamora), feet damp, shoes wet and muddy from yesterday's lovely showers, but with a cuppa in hand, and I thought I should finally share.
New to the forum here but currently on my second Camino, I am following the VdlP and then taking the Sanabres way. I've been meaning to share for a while now but somehow, despite having so much time to myself now, it's getting away from me.
Aswell as doing it as a break from everything and a way to "reset", I'm also working on a new photography project (back home I am a freelance photographer) and I'm sharing field notes and photographs as I go along. I thought it might be of interest here
Please find the journal here: http://bit.ly/silverwayproject
I'm not sure exactly of the concept yet - it seems to be revealing itself to me the more I walk, which has been interesting and challenging as I usually approach projects with a firm concept in mind beforehand. I also had the same experience on the first Camino I did. This time, I'm thinking a lot about life cycles, the journey between life and death and also rebirth, thoughts of the finite and infinite - all reflected by the Camino in each day of walking, as well as by the Camino as a whole. I'd also love to hear from you on these topics, if you had similar thoughts or experiences?
In any case, I'm happy to share recent experiencs with walks, terrain, albergues, towns etc.
Yesterday I completed 32km from El Cubo de Vino to Zamora, my second longest day on this trail; it would have been a lovely walk if not for the rain and gusts! Though I basically rode the wind (slightly sideways) into Zamora.
Can't believe how quickly it's going now, it felt like forever to halfway and suddenly I will be heading off on the Sanabres the day after tomorrow!
Cheers all x
