We arrived home late last night after a day of travel that went on and on and on and on ... we're tired but well.
Settling in at home, happy to have the opportunity to choose what to wear based on what we feel like wearing rather than which clothes smell the least ... and doing laundry.
Our kitty Robin seems happy that we're home and is snoozing on the couch, the yard is a verdant jungle of green, the hawthorne is in full deep pink bloom and bustling with small yellow warblers - it's been cool and wet most of the month we've been away - and our home is in welcoming good shape thanks to our house sitters Jacquie and Brent.
At the moment, we're listening to a CD of Galician celtic bagpipe music to stay in the glow of Spanish time-space, and looking forward to grocery shopping later this afternoon to make a salad for dinner!
Hope to have some photos to share in the next few days.
Feeling grateful for the wonderful adventure we've had, and trusting the Camino will continue ...
p.s. As we left the Vancouver airport last night to board our final flight home, I spied a fellow traveller wearing a sweatshirt with the Camino flecha amarilla (yellow arrow). I remembered seeing him and a woman who I thought might be his mom walking for the last few days as I headed towards Santiago. I said hello, and told him I too was just returning from the Camino. He smiled BIG, and we wished each other "Buen Camino!"

ReplyDeleteThis will come out of the blue, but I am helping a friend set up a blog about her Camino de Santiago pilgrimage. She wants to use the map you have at the top of your blog. I am (unless you were to refuse) absconding with it rather than make my own because you have the map already handily sized for use on blogger.
ReplyDeleteThank-you for your time and generosity [humour/smile].
