Its funny how time slips by
Its 10 years today i got to join you guys.

Where once again..I may get RIFFed out

But this time there may be enough savings to finally get my visa
Take my time and go quietly into that cool day
Because ime 10 years older
Chonky and almost 60
Merde....

Very Low key starting putting things into places and such.
 
Get a Spanish mobil number + data while on the Camino
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
It's been seven years for me. When I returned home in 2017, I immediately bought another pair of trail running shoes exactly like the ones I wore out on the C. F. The idea was to do the Camino again on my 80th. Alas, they sit in my closet, in their original box, awaiting the day to break them in for the return to France and Spain. Will that day come? I'm in the re-gathering of initiative phase of this enterprise. Life races along. There are still so many things to accomplish before the lights go out. The Camino was a solo undertaking for me and I re-live aspects of it everyday while walking in our forest lands. I kept a daily journal which has resulted in hundreds of pages of manuscript. So, whether I do it all again or simply revel in the memories of the first time, and maybe the only time, my life has been enriched by the experience.

Beautiful!
 
It's been ten years for my wife and me. And we just kept returning. Last month, we were at an albergue that has kept a log with comments. We paged through it and there we were....comments and signature. We felt an instant rush of love for the camino, past, present and future.
