7 Weeks Later

Now, I don't know how many of our loyal readers will still be checking this blog, since Jess and I have both returned safely from Spain, but I thought I would post an update just in case anyone still cares. It has been a little over 7 weeks since I returned to "real life" and I must say, much of the Camino has stayed with me in day to day life. At least once a day, I have Camino flashbacks, when this happens I force myself to remember the scenario or place that flashes through my brain. It always puts a smile on my face to remember some of the highlights of the adventure. The seashell from my backpack is proudly displayed in my bedroom, and I am way more proud of my Compostela, than of any of my diplomas! I made a lot of promises to myself while walking the Camino, but the main one is to never forget the experience. I'm terrified that one day it will fade to the back of my mind and I have pledged to keep it as fresh in my memory as possible!
For anyone who was curious whether or not Jess and I would still be friends after spending those 6 weeks together ( I know some of you had bets going!), you can rest assured we are better buddies than when we started. In fact I need to give another great big thanks to my travel/walking buddy for being so great the whole time! I definitely couldn't have done it without you Yessi!
We'll keep you all posted with details as to where the next adventure will take us! Any suggestions?
