Only 5?!
1) Arriving in Orrison for my first coffee break on the Camino - soaking in the beautiful surroundings and allowing the reality of what I was doing to truly sink in.
2)Taking a silly self portrait with my camera on day two and doing a double take as I looked at the photo and a face I almost didn't recognize. Could I really look THAT much happier after only a day and a half of walking? (and the moments after finding out how many other people had that same moment either on camera or just catching their reflection in the bathroom)
3) Getting caught in a crazy thunderstorm on the way back to the Albergue in Estella with friends I had met along the way - laughing as we ran and splashed through the puddles, arriving back drenched to the bone, pouring puddles of rain out of hiking boots we had left outside to air...
4) Sleeping under the stars at Ferro de Cruz - it was FREEZING, but with a few bottles of wine, the amazing company I was in, and the sheer.....sacredness(?) of the mountains, it was probably my favourite night of the entire Camino.
5) Sitting at Cape Fisterra, alone. Friends further up, chatting and laughing - but just me, my thoughts, the vast ocean below me, and the vast sky above. I cried like a baby as I sat there, so immensely thankful to have experienced the Camino, and to just be alive.
