- Time of past OR future Camino
- Francés fall/winter 2019
I finished walking my camino on Dec 10. I find myself on this forum more now, than I did before I went! I want to go again so much! It was such an amazing special experience and I’m so glad I went (I was SO nervous). Now I troll around and read everyone else’s posts! All I want to do is go back.
It was absolutely stupendous. Uncrowded, cold, most things closed. But it was awesome! The one time in my life that I was responsible for nobody except myself! That was an eye opening experience.
Sometimes I’d walk for hours without seeing people on the trail. I got to know people really well...when there is only one alburgue open, that happens easily!
One incredibly scary experience, but I learned from it.
There was no bed race, no flies, so bad smells, no crowds
I packed way too light and had to modify my pack a lot....I get really cold, rarely walked in less than two bottom layers and three top layers after Nov 1.
I could talk about it non stop!
Obviously having issues with returning to the world.
Thanks to all who helped me answer my questions in the Fall!
