Hello!! I am back!

[Tania A. Heinemann]

Good morning!

I am rejoining the GOCAMINO webgroup, finally!

I departed Ste. Jean on April 29th and reach Santiago on May 28th.  It was my first Camino and for me it was the experience of a lifetime!  

I enjoyed the Camino blister-free (I wore Sauconny running shoes the entire way!) and had to part with them at the end!  The last few days were spent walking through alot of cow manure!   I had three days to rest and recover in Santiago, although I felt the walking never ended, there was so much to see and do!  The euphoria of making it there, all in one peice, after many trying days has continued on, despite some plantar fascitis. I suffered a small amount in comparison to some of the fellow pilgrims I met along The Way.

As soon as I arrived in England via Toronto, Canada, I instantly hooked up with other pilgrims, two of which I was blessed to walk the entire way with!

The sheer amount of people we had met along The Way and reunited with in Santiago was overwhelming, people you shared a tea with, or gave a band-aid to, met in a refugio, etc. all remembered each other.  It was like living in another world or reality for 5 ++ weeks!

Its great to be back!  I do feel as though I have changed, I hope that the lessons I learned on my Camino stay with me for a lifetime - I can hardly wait to walk again!

Tania
