No Camino...not even close!

We have been back roughly a little over 2 months....i would swear it has been a year or more. I will say something i never thought i would utter in my life....I want to be back on the Camino! I get it now...truly. It is so hard to explain what it feels like besides the obvious pain. I would gladly take that on again, although i feel the next time around i would have a bit more sense of packing light, which would mean, not combining two trips into one. I feel lost now that we are back. Sure we are back to a schedule of sorts. Viviana has started a new course of study and thrilled beyond measure. I know she has wanted to go back as well, walking. Why, would be a very good question. I miss the simplicity of it all. I did not have lots of crap to deal with. We walked, we ate, we slept. Anything more was a bonus, chatting, laughing, exploring. It was so very genuine and real. To be fair, we live in a very ugly noisy city where we can barely think with all the madness around us. People are a complete and utter disappointment. So self absorbed, distant, empty....disconnected. I wish it were different. I know we need to find new friend's or leave. Or perhaps both....not sure just yet.

All I know is the time for change is now and I am tired of waiting for it to come. I worry about what that will mean for our future but I know I have a wonderful partner who is along for the ride, so we are going to make it a good one!

Ciao, ciao,
