Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!Seek and ye shall find.
Fond, fond memories in abundance.
Lord, keep them alive forever!
What I saw and what I remember
And what I choose to remember, three different things.
Forget the film next time.
Just live the experience and focus on the wonder of it all.
Thanks! My hope was to be walking right now but, oh well!Hi.
I agree very much with that written by @Turga. I am sure, however, that in addition to the "little misunderstandings" there are memories and moments lived in a great way during your first journey. I wish you to do it again and again and you will see that you can say that there ... it was your path.
I have hesitated to reply to this, but as you posted this for response I shall dare to comment briefly. Most of these irritations happened in albergues. My response to such annoyances is generally to conclude that I am feeling really grumpy, not getting enough sleep, and maybe not enough alone time. So I would find somewhere else to sleep, at least part of the time. Do you think that maybe the movies and documentaries gave you the impression that "real" pilgrims sleep in dormitories? How might you manage such irritations if you choose to go on pilgrimage again? If you do so decide, I wish you "buen camino" and a wonderful journey.The hole in the donut was how people failed to fulfill my expectations. Included were the snorers, the ones who would race ahead to get a bed in the next town, (or should I say the upper bunk), those who weren’t friendly, the man that gave me an elbow and cut into the line of those of us waiting to order breakfast, the ones who would come to bed after I was asleep, those who would wake up before I was ready to wake up, the cyclists, hospitaleros who were not friendly, the groups of pilgrims who were loud, the cafe workers who were not attentive, the man in the market who slapped my hand for selecting my own orange. The list is endless.
The Complainer in my Head was working overtime.
