Here, tired & wide awake, excited & scared

Already chatted with three Australians, two Canadians, and two other Americans all entering town at the same time.  It is AWESOME to be in a place that is full of pilgrims ready to embark.  This town has a magic in the air, I have a great hotel room, and I didn't think it was so possible to have so many friendly people help me in one day!

Today's phrase, and those to the end of my Camino is "Buen Camino" (Good  way/road/trail) - A universal greeting and parting for pilgrims.  Hearing it said warms the soul as the words have somehow elevated beyond words, perhaps it is the earth smile and genuine feeling behind it that makes it so special.

My day started on Sept 3 @6:30am and will probably run till today around 3:00pm est (9:00pm local time)

  3. We are so very proud of you! We love you very much and will miss you more than words can say while you are on this journey, but we could not let this opportunity pass you by. You may never have the chance again and we know how much this means to you. "Climb every mountain, search high and low, follow every byway, every path you know (or don't), climb every mountain, ford every stream, follow every rainbow, 'till you find your dream, a dream that will need, all the love you can give, every day of your life, for as long as you live." You are and always have been the love of my life and my best friend.
    Love you all to bits, sweetie.
