Holy cow the Camino is awesome!!! After four days of walking, my body feels very sore but also very powerful. We are blistered and bruised, but none of us care, because we are too busy having fun!
Spending 6 hours or more everyday walking sounds like it could be pretty boring from an outside perspective, but with the company we have, you never get bored. Spending time getting to know each of the beautiful women (and Henry!) is amazing. It is crazy to think how quickly we all can become so close.
The other peregrinos are also great company. We have been walking with people all over the world, from places including: South Korea, New Zealand, Holland, France, Brazil, England, Canada, and the list goes on. Each of these individuals brings to the Camino their own unique perspective and cultural values.
Tomorrow we have our first day of walking in silence. We will be walking 24 km in the heat and sun. This will be a testing experience for all of us, but I think we will all be better for it. While we each walk our own Camino, we are never alone on the Camino. So even though we are in silence, we are surrounded by other peregrinos who are also on their own journey.
