    The bus ride to the train station in Frankfurt took an hour perhaps a little longer. I sat staring out the window observing the traffic I hadn't missed in the last four weeks. My mind was in and out of the Camino world and the world in front of me....

    It was Renate. Renate, the German woman whom I had met at the airport in London at the beginning of my journey. Renate, who helped me and Anna get to St. Jean Pied de Port. Renate, who helped me feel at ease those first first few hours and days o...

    When we arrived at the airport I checked in as soon as Ryan Air permitted me to, which tends to be later rather than sooner in case you aren't acquainted with Ryan Air's rather unique check-in procedure. In contrast to the other two flights I had ta...

    When the train went by me and all I could see was the end of the last car, I felt rather numb and much like I had started my journey: alone and afraid. The speed of the train and the clacking of the tracks created a woosh of air and sound that sudde...

    It felt strange not needing to unpack the sleeping bag that night. My things lay on the floor, on the table, on the bed, on the chair, on the nightstand. My hand washed clothes were hanging on the door handle of the french doors and on the door han...

    There wasn't so much time for journal writing on June 12, 2006, and when I read the entry for that day I see how much my mind was trying to make sense of things regarding the future and not the events at hand. As a result, I omitted something rather...

Being that i will embark on the Camino Frances this coming May 20th (to be exact) I am fascinated by your journey on the camino. I can't stop reading your blognov -- i truly am feeling the same anxieties, tribulations that you have described earlier on your path. I don't know if i will be meet anyone as exceptional as Renate, but i do know that i am trusting everything will unfold as it should. Wish you were doing the camino again. Your story is worth more than i can say . . . thank you!
