Final Thoughts and Photos

It was a challenging Camino in several ways.  

It was the first time I had to walk one whole day in a torrential rain.  And other days in rain for part of the day.  There’s wet and then there’s miserable wet.  It was miserable wet.   


We had one of the worst hotel rooms ever.  Not only was the room inadequate but the locals partied outside our room all night.  Seriously it didn’t stop until around 6:30 am.  


I had to walk solo.  I didn’t like it but I did it!   Everyday I missed having my Camino friend with me.  I’m so thankful that LP was willing to taxi everyday so I could complete this walk.  I know taking a taxi was not fun or how she envisioned her Camino experience.  On the Spiritual Variant I saw some of the prettiest scenery (we’ve seen pretty scenery on our prior Caminos but this was really pretty).  I often wished LP was there to see it too.  


Don’t know what the future holds for us but maybe once LP heals she’d be willing to do just one more Camino.  Count me in.

Closing the Circle

 Posted by LP We met Natalie and Graves (not sure I have the correct spelling, sorry for any errors) when we walked the (almost) 5 miles into Santiago early on Tuesday morning, before dawn - our hotel was slightly off the Camino and we were a little disoriented when we saw the headlights of Natalie and Graves - they got us back on track (and showed no signs of judgement in doing so) - we walked together until the big Santiago de Compostela city sign - last night we met them again at our favourite restaurant, The Green Door - so one of the pleasures of the evening was to recognize the lovely “connection” we made on our short walk together and bid a fond farewell  Photo - Natalie and Graves at The Green House restaurant  Photo - Graves, Natalie, LP and VQT

Posted by VQT I read a book - Comfort Crisis by Michael Easter.    In the book he talks about how comfortable our lives are - we live in climate controlled houses, we sit in comfy chairs, we have access to food 24/7 and drive almost everywhere.    Easter believes we should challenge ourselves with a physical goal that we could fail at achieving.    For the past 4 years the Camino has been my challenge. We hear of and have met many people that due to injuries or some other reasons are not able to complete their Camino.    Walking hundreds and hundreds of miles on all types of surfaces in various weather conditions is HARD.    It’s both physically and mentally challenging.   The Camino has changed from when we walked in 2022.  In just 3 years there are more people, more trash on the path and stickers (What’s up with putting stickers everywhere?), e-bikes (IMO these should not be allowed on the Camino - they are too dangerous...

 Posted by VQT While waiting in Madrid to board our flight home we were surprised when Sharon spotted us.  We first met Sharon and her son CJ on September 2nd in a cafe.  They were sitting with Clare.  At first we were puzzled by Sharon and CJ not knowing they were mother and son.  We saw them several times then in the way of the Camino we only heard about them when we saw Clare weeks later.   There are people you meet on the Camino and a connection is made and you feel that you’d be friends back home.  These Camino friendships might be fleeting but they are so strong.   VQT, LP and Sharon.  VQT’s refrigerator magnet collection.
