Walking for 40 days with my best friend
The crunch crunch of gravel underfoot
Morning sunrises
Cool air
Beautiful flowers and plants
Birds songs in the morning including cuckoos
Other pilgrims who kept turning up
The smells of Spain
The path fading into the horizon
Seeing beautiful churches
Towns that are seen in the distance, but take forever to walk to
Finding a strange new place to sleep each night
Seeing deserted streets during afternoon siesta time
Sleeping 9 hours a night
40 days of having only three things to do: walk, eat, and sleep
Overcoming challenges and difficulties along the way
Learning to make plans, but to appreciate the way each day actually unfolds and the gifts that it offers
