- Time of past OR future Camino
- St.Jean-Santiago (2017)
Now that the walking portion of my first Camino is over, I've started a short list of things that I will miss most.
By the way, this was inspired by an excellent list of review questions provided at the Pilgrim House in Santiago. I highly recommend stopping in and visiting those folks while you're in town.

- The simple routine of getting up in the morning and walking to a new alburgue for the night.
- Every day a new and sometimes repeat batch of acquaintances from all over the world of all ages and all walks of life.
- The church bells in almost every town.
- A cold cervesa at the end of a long hot walk.
- Hot, or maybe just warm showers at the end of a long hot walk.
- Impromptu meals in the alburgue kitchens.
- Long stretches with just me and my walking poles.
- Living comfortably with just the 10kg of stuff on my back.
- Traveling comfortably on less than 30€ per day.
- At the end of each day, recapping the more memorable parts in my blog. This sounds boring and arduous but I thought about it, and took pictures for it, during each day. So the actual blogging was a bit of informed but creative outlet after the physical trials of the day.
- Brief moments of coherent Spanish learning here and there.
