Until we start our journey walking. I have a bit of a nasty cold, so I hope that has past by then.
I have now been in Europe for just over 2 weeks, and yesterday I caught myself looking forward to going home. 😅 It will be awhile before I get to go home, nearly 6 more weeks if all goes as planned. I have been thinking about how my time in Spain will be similar to these last couple of weeks. The towns will be old and have the European charm, I expect. I will be walking a lot, at least 2 times more each day than I have been. There will be many different people doing this journey too. Each will have a unique story with different reasons for being there.
I am looking forward to spending time with my friend and going on this journey with her. I know we will experience highs and lows, and I expect we may even grow weary of each other from time to time. We have discussed this, and are somewhat prepared for it. I am thankful to have a friend willing to give this crazy thing a shot! What a gift!
Saturday morning I will meet Theresa in Paris. We will spend the day and night in Paris. Sunday morning we will fly to Biarritz, France, where a shuttle will pick as up. Maybe we will even have someone waiting for us as we exit the plane with our names on a whiteboard 😁! The transport service will drive us from there to St Jean Pied de Port. We will pick up our official papers at the pilgrim office and check into our first hostel. At that point we will grab dinner and try to get a good night’s sleep for our first day!
Thank you for following our Camino Adventure! I’m here to share all the highs and lows, along with lots of pictures! Here’s my first picture which shows the contents of my backpack! I actually pulled a few items from it since this picture to attempt to lighten it up a bit. It’s roughly 20lbs. Here we go!
I’m so excited for you Joy!! What a remarkable opportunity. And good for you for going for it!
Thank you, Kathy!
Theressa helped me “get ‘er done” as far as planning! Now we have to accomplish what we’re setting out to do! So excited!! Miss you!!
❤️❤️❤️
Yay!! I am so excited for your journey! We love you so so much ❤️❤️❤️🙏
I love you too, Jennifer!! Miss you guys!! Give the little buddy a hug for me!!
So excited to hear more about your journey, Joy! I planned an Italy trip with a friend for thanksgiving and we also intentionally planned time apart. I think that’s a good thing to discuss before big adventures with friends.
Italy this November?! That’s amazing!! We might accidentally spend every moment together which will be great too 😊!
So excited to be following you on this journey and will be praying for you my friend!
Thank you, Linda! I imagine you understanding the value of this trip! Miss you!
Joy HOW FUN!! So VERY excited for you & Theresa—-what an adventure!! I can’t wait to hear all about your journey!
Thank you, Sue! I’m really excited!!
Praying you have a good sleep tonight and a great start to your journey! Love you❤️
Thank you, Sis!! Love you!!
So excited for you. Am sure this journey will bring many opportunities for reflection and growth-never a bad thing, but rarely an easy one.
Love you and look forward to your updates and return.
For sure!
