O.k. walked 12 miles today. Got up late, alarm wasn´t set right, started at 9am. Ended at 7pm in Zubiri.... I have so many good things to say about today´s trail. Can´t even put in words how beautiful it was... but it was Beautiful. Through woods, forests, along a mountain ridge, next to really peaceful rolling green pastures with sheep, cows, sheep, horses, more sheep, over rivers, streams, and tiny bridges, down rocky trails, steep rocky trails, with lots of flowers, and color. We have lots of pictures and they will be up soon. There were many metaphors for life on this trail... the main one for me today being about Baggage, and not because my pack weighs 20 lbs. At the end of the 12 miles it weighed 40. It didn´t bother me really but as I walked through this really awesome place I couldn´t help think about the baggage we carry around in life. You don´t realize how much clutter we have physically and mentally, and how much it consumes you and prevents you from seeing the really important stuff in life, the truly beautiful and meaningful stuff. Note to Dewey, DO NOT go and empty the garage. I know what you are thinking. Well pictures are coming soon... then you will see what I mean. Off to Pamplona tomorrow.
Buen Camino
Truly inspiring. Pictures are great too.

You sound like you are on your way! You may need to remind Dewey again not to empty the garage though!
ReplyDeleteWay to go! Donn says congrats on your first day and your first 12 miles! Oh yes, the baggage thing... been thinking about that too and in fact last week cleared clutter from 3 closets. Love your pics!
