1 week to go. I feel more relaxed about this camino then the one last year. My first experience on the trail was a heady mix of uncertainty coupled with eagerness. Now that I've taken the first steps I feel a bit bolder. I want to take the time to see the sights. Last year we were all about getting from Point A to Point B. We saw a few things in route but we did not stray far from the designated path. This year I want to let my feet take me to the places that are worth seeing. There are so many place to see in Northern Spain so why not do it in a leisurely way. I am a pilgrim but who says that I cannot take the time to take in the world around me. I may not pass this way again.
