leaving El Burgo Ranero early one morning
with my friends from Quebec
"An early-morning walk
is a blessing for the whole day. "

Camino-spirations
In 2008 I walked for about eighty days
in France and Spain,
along the route to Santiago de Compostela.
It was a simple life
in which I noticed the 'little things'
and learned to be more thankful.
In 2012 I walked again, from Cluny to Conques; then three weeks on parts of the Camino Frances.
These photo-text quotes/reflections
are inspired by those walks.
My hope is that some others
might also find them helpful.

I really love this picture. This was a special moment that makes you appreciate simple life and enjoy the moment!
ReplyDeleteI had to take this photo quickly too to make sure I never got left behind!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your inspiring photos and comments. These provide great insights into the Camino
ReplyDeleteThanks Anon. I guess they reflect the Camino from my 'point of view', but I know others who have felt many of the same things about life as a 'pilgrim'.
ReplyDeleteNice pic,nomad. I was wondering why people left before 11am.

lol Dawdler. At this stage the daytime temps were over 30C, so you needed to get some good hours of walking in before the heat arrived. Not being from the great Oz, I am not so accustomed to summer heat as you might be!
