When I started the Camino I felt excited about this latest challenge that would surely test my physical and mental muscles.
The most helpful piece of advice I received was to walk at my own pace and respect my rythm.
My favorite stage during the Camino was any day where there was a grunty climb involved and a brilliant view from the top. (French Pyrenées and O Cebreiro)
My longest day was from Casanova to Santa Irene 39km.
My favorite Camino word was Qualimotcho - which was the name of a drink that is comprised of Coca Cola and Red Wine. I don´t drink but I loved saying the word.
The most useful thing I packed for the Camino was my Outward Bound journal.
The least useful thing I packed for the Camino was my ThermaRest Inflatable mattress.
My favorite Camino character was a cute little older couple that I adopted as my Camino grandparents (Joacquine and Pedro).
My least favorite Camino character was a man that snored like a train. I nicknamed him "Terrorista de la noces" after being in the same hostel for 3 consecutive nights.
My favorite Camino food was the fresh figues I got to taste out of Logrono.
Camino food I will be happy to never see again is a Boccadilla which is pretty much a baguette sandwich.
My most valuable Camino lesson was to take the road, take the journey and take life - one step at a time.
I am thank-full for my health, my family and friends, Mother Nature AND my KEENs.
