Camino update 7: Yes, now I’m a Proclaimer!

This was originally posted on beingthebestyoucanbeblog.wordpress.com on 10th June however this time I’m posting it on the 18th May which is when I arrived in Santiago last year.

This is indeed how I talk to people about my Camino. I’m a Proclaimer and if you grew up listening to the group ‘the Proclaimers’ as I did then you will of course know I’m talking about their song ‘I’m gonna be’. I often found myself walking along singing ‘but I would walk 500 miles’ however I didn’t add in the next line ‘And I would walk 500 more’ as I’m happy to leave that for the medieval pilgrims and any other modern ones who wish to walk both ways.

Camino update 5: I want to slow down

This was posted originally this day last year on beingthebestyoucanbeblog.wordpress.com as part of my Camino journey.

I am sitting in Melide finally finding time to blog about the last few days from Ponferrada. As the title says “I want to slow down” and I guess that’s why I want to post now rather than wait until Santiago.

If you’re looking for travel posts then go to travelalphabetabc.wordpress.com as I have just updated from Ponferrada to Sarria.
