We've been home for 1 1/2 weeks and settled back into our PNW summer lives. It's a glorious time. The gardens are thriving and we welcome our family and friends back into our lives.
Now is the time I always make the deals with myself to maintain the camino state of mind. Craig and I decided that we would take one day a week to be 'on the camino' and so last Friday we put on our hiking boots and left the house with plans to walk to our local pub, have lunch and walk home. We did. And arrived home 15 miles later with some creaks and groans and feeling thankful that our rain gear protected us once again.
The strange thing is that as busted up as I felt - back aches, feet aches, leg aches, but next morning I felt better than ever....again.
It's beautiful here and while thoughts of "where to go next" do enter our hearts and minds, we are most happy to be home finding the everyday rhythm of life here and looking forward to a summer of cycling, kayaking, gardening, walking and mingling with the ones we love.
