Charlie: My last post was a riff on what it feels to be on the Camino. As such I took some liberties with the facts to get at the truth.
In fact the towns on the Camino are quite different. We always walk through each one and find interesting little things about each one. This is one of the pleasures that makes up the recurring daily cycle. So they are the same in terms of being in the “Camino zone” and not the same in terms of the daily ritual of exploring the town we are in, which itself is part of being in the zone.
We are surprised how each day is different. The terrain changes each day. For all the talk about changeable weather the weather has actually been pretty consistent. We get a lot of clouds. It is cool and nice walking when it is cloudy. When the sun comes out it tends to get a little too hot, but that only happens a few hours each day. We seem to have some mostly sunny days coming up. I expect it will be a bit hot.
The question for me keeps coming back to “why am I here?” It seems like I should have worked that out before I came but I didn’t. It just seemed like the right thing to do.
