When the idea...

to accompany our camino with a blog first came to us, it seemed like an inspired one. After all, we did plan to regularly update our family and friends of our whereabouts so why not do it in the form of a blog? We also both like to write so how hard can it be? Writing a narrative about our walk seemed like a natural thing to do. Ha! Shows how much we know! Our camino proved over and over again that things don't always go according to plan. 😁

The thing is, I didn't want to not write about it. It was an amazing time and an amazing experience and even though we do plan to do it again, it won't ever be like this first. This is my way of preserving those memories. 

Going through the  challenging process of piecing everything together, I was a lot surprised by the details that came to mind when I looked at the photos that we took or read the notes that I wrote from before (yes, I did keep notes), details that I thought I've forgotten. Maybe we weren't meant to write about it then, not right away. Maybe the distance and the passing of time has given me a better lens to see and realize more.  

And now it's almost two years later that I am able to sort of complete this blog. I say sort of because now and then, I still remember some details and I add it to a post, so in that, I think this is going to continue to be a work in progress for some time to come.  Plus, I live in hope that someday my sister will pick up  her part of the narrative. 😊 So yes, it's all mostly memories, not always pleasant, but all good ones.
