Life's a Stitch

Many people believe that they are called to do a pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago. That might have been true with our first routes, but this time the “call” was very clear, and the timing was right as there are people staying behind who will take care of our house, so off we go. This will be a 250 mile route on a quieter, more remote trail, as compared to the main route that passes through towns and services throughout the day. It’s not without trepidation, especially with ten days lead time, but that’s part of the pilgrimage process. 

If you’re not familiar with the Spain’s Camino Santiago, go to YouTube and watch “the Way” with and Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez, a movie that’s an accurate depiction of the Camino, more or less. In fact, it’s the reason the main routes have gained popularity, not necessarily a good thing as it strains available resources during certain seasons. 

Posts from our previous Caminos are linked in the right column. I’ll be blogging this time, but due to the route, there will be days without reception, so there will be gaps and times of catching up. 

It’s been four years since our first Camino, three years since the second. You never know what’s in store so we might as well do it now while we can. Buen Camino!
