- Time of past OR future Camino
- . . . . . . . . .
On my regular walks, I use a small daypack to hold my rain jacket and some food and water. Now, with 8 weeks to go before next Camino, it is time to start training with the “real” backpack. It has resided in the back of a cupboard for a long time and I got quite excited digging it out into the daylight again. It has a certain feel and smell (not bad!) to it that brings memories up from the deep of the brain. I couldn’t resist immediately starting to fiddle with the straps and buckles, filling it up with sheets and sweaters and trying it on for a walk around the living room. Good feeling!
Last year before my first Camino, I spend hours (days?) packing and repacking it, organizing all the things into different colored nylon bags worrying if I would have easy access to all I needed both during the walk and in the evenings. Now I have a mental map of the right place for everything, and I tell myself that I will be able to pack it in 10 minutes – but we’ll see about that.
Anyway, now it’s out and tomorrow it will be out on the road again. I guess some air and sunshine will do it good after months in the darkness
