This is how I felt today, one happy pilgrim. In case you don’t know me I am 42 years old with a terminal cancer diagnosis. I have been in treatment for 7 years, and this week I began something I have dreamt about for 20 years. I am walking the Primitivo, a two week pilgrimage across Spain. Everything felt beautifully familiar today, some of the vegetation resembles CA and the green layered mountains, floral smells and cool rivers are just like my childhood in TN. I thought today I would feel a quiet isolation but instead the smells and bird songs felt as familiar as old friends. Camino random fact: I have only 2 outfits in my pack, so everyday requires my laundry to be washed and hung on a line. #caminoadventuress #caminodesantiago #caminoprimitivo #buencamino
