- Time of past OR future Camino

Got a notification from my Phone that we started our first Camino 8 years ago today...
We accidently left our phone charger and Kindle charger at Orrison along with our euro plug adapter and walked the first 3 days to Pamplona with essentially no electronics, so it can be done! As new pilgrims it never occurred to us to call back or cab back to see if they could be retrieved. Waited until Pamplona to buy a new charger for both.
We almost never argue and we had a real humdinger the second morning as I wanted to get started around 6:30 am and Phil sauntered out of the albergue around 8 am. I was so mad that all the photos of me that second day were of my back walking about 50 feet ahead.
My legs hurt so bad when I got to Roncesvalles that I started crying in the check in line. One of the volunteers asked me what was wrong and I told her that I was just SO GLAD to have made it.
Looking back, I am not sure now why the Camino calls me so strongly to return each year.
What are your memories of those first days? Were they good? Were you wondering if you'd made a good choice to walk a pilgrimage?
