Wow, it is even overwhelming to write it!! I saw a documentary a long time ago, maybe 8-9 years ago and it intrigued me so much. Since then I have read countless books and watched more documentaries and the movie The Way, talked to several people who actually walked it and is following a few Facebook forums on this subject. But I knew to commit around 40 days, I will have to do this trip after the twins are done with high school. Which is another year and a half.
That was the plan until September 7, 2019, Stefan, one of the twins, asked me more about what is entailed in this walk! Why, I asked? Well, he said he wants something unique to write about for his college essay 😊 and knowing that I always talk about the Camino, he does not want me to go alone!!! Talk about a surprise!
It took me several days to ask him if he really knows what is involved and that I won’t feel bad if he changes his mind! This is going to consume half his summer between junior and senior high.
Long story short, a month later we booked our tickets, bought backpacks and shoes!
We are going!!
