Hola a todos!
I will be on the road from SJPDP on May 18. Looking forward to meeting fellow peregrinos and peregrinas on the way to Santiago.
I have the load (excl water, food) down to 6.5kg now, after quite a few hardening walks and repackings.
Successively discarding "essentials" each time becomes easier and quite zen-like. What is the real meaning of this object? What purpose does it really serve? How can I make my camino less cluttered with physical stuff? More importantly, how can I make life in general less focused on objects and stuff?
Why take two spare shoe laces? One is enough. Take a controlled risk, will both break before you can get a piece of cord?!
Anyway, I may checkin here along the way for more philosophical musings!
Hasta luega
