An easy though LONG flight home.
But then drama at the budget car rental desk. Some of you may recall that I had lost my credit cards about half way thru our Camino walk. So we had carefully gathered a lot of cash. The only problem: for Budget, cash was not an option. Everyone got very creative, and daughter Sandy came through with a faxed photo copy of her credit card, and I was on my way to SB.
And in bed by 8 pm.
It is now. 2 am and I have just woken from a wonderful Camino dream (River had been
disappointed that I wasn't sure I wanted to come back; too many other travel possibilities. My psyche seems to say otherwise!)
In the dream, we were indeed back on the Camino, making our way through a dark wet morning through very narrow village streets, hemmed in by rather decrepit gray stone buildings -- an endless winding street that was clearly not leading anywhere, certainly not to an open square with an open cafe.
But then River turned on Google earth. Suddenly we were walking the same terrain but VOILA -- all was in technicolor. The streets were inviting. They led to squares full of happy peregrinos and on to a beautiful countryside.
That River!
Love
Chris
From River;
Chris' dream reminds me of the transformation in our Camino when I suggested we take the bus from Santiago to Muxia. Suddenly we had sunshine, rest, colors, meetings with wonderful peregrinas. It was the best part of our Camino. And we barely walked! My take home lesson from this Camino is that it is not all about walking.
Amen!
ReplyDeleteHappy homecoming. I had not wanted to come home from England and yet were glad to be here. It took us a week to get heart and soul and body reunited here. Lovely to have so many good memories and images.
