Hi,
I'm going to be walking for the first time this year from Pamplona. I've given myself six weeks because I might like to dally in towns I like. I'm a fan of art and archictecture. I'm a little apprehensive about walking by myself, though I'm an experienced traveler. I guess I'm less afraid of pain or outer danger than I am of my own possible moods...getting spaced out and missing the way, or angry, or depressed. Any advice? I am married and my husband is supportive of my trip, but I will miss him a lot. I'm an artist and thinking about the art aspect, but don't want to make it some sort of busman's holiday by dwelling too much on art. (My art is on Saltworkstudio if you google that.) It's funny, but I come from Northern California and a lot of the landscape is externally similar... hills, olives, oak trees, vineyards-- it's not so much sightseeing as an internal time-out.
I'm not taking a cell phone but I will be taking an Ipad mini for skype and maybe some posts where there's wireless.
What's the single most important thing you might tell me? How did you orient yourself to the internal or spiritual meaning of the trip? Thanks... Suzanne
