Camino Loneliness?<\/h1>\n

Today is a very different feeling walking, I wonder why it feels much more lonely.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it was because I had a chat with Pat, my wife, on the phone for an hour before I started. We try to chat each day on Skype, and I’m probably missing her company.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it’s because I was one of the last to leave Roncesvalles<\/a> this morning, and so everyone else is ahead of me and I know that no one else<\/span> is coming up behind me.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Roncesvalles<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The stop tonight will be interesting. I’ll be staying at Viscarret<\/a>, which is a small village only 12 kilometers from Roncesvalles<\/strong><\/em>. I doubt whether many other pilgrims will be staying there, because most will want to walk at least 20 kilometers a day. But it will be interesting to see, maybe there will be other walking wounded staying there tonight as well.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Roncesvalles<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The walk today seems very different because I’m not in the mountains. I’m just walking through pastures, the occasional stream crossing the track, I think I really love the mountains much more.<\/p>\n

Familiar Faces<\/strong>.   Meeting and re meeting people as you walk is a really nice part of the Camino.  Leaving Roncesvalles a met very briefly, Mary from Arizona.  Like a 30 sec conversation!   We met again walking up to Alto del Perdon 5 or 6 days later.  And ended up walking together quite a few times.<\/em><\/p>\n

Also a young couple from the UK I met on Day 1 at Orisson I met over and over for the next 3 weeks.<\/em><\/p>\n

You get the idea……..   Many Pilgrims end up walking with their ‘Camino Family’ that seems to just happen along the way.  <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
