Afterward: Reflections from the Camino del Norte

Leaving Santiago
On the long bus ride from Santiago back to Madrid, I reflected on my forty-day journey on the Camino del Norte. The Spanish countryside streamed past me as I reflected on the highs, lows, adventures, challenges, friends, prayers, moments, lessons, and exquisite beauty of the trip. Although each mile left Santiago further and further behind, I wasn’t leaving the Camino behind. The stories, experiences, and memories will stay with me for the rest of my life.

Practicing the Way

Exhausted though I was, my mind was filled with peace and gratitude. I realized just how much I had grown to appreciate a simple life.
