Rainy day in Stuttgart

Still in Stuttgart

Still in Salzburg. Went on an exhausting and trecherous hike in the Austrian alps today and it was so, so beautiful. I have really been missing this whole hiking thing.

I said my goodbyes, hopped on a plane and just like that I am gone. I already miss everyone tremendously and the nostalgia of the trail is hitting hard.

Also, I am required by the college to continue to post my location daily until I leave Europe which won’t be for another month or so. There probably won’t be any more blog posts aside from the location updates.

My next plan is to travel around Europe with my partner for a while. I must admit that I am a bit nervous that these next few weeks will override my experience on the Camino. I hope I will be able to remain in the same peaceful state of mind while going into tourist mode. Still trying to figure out exactly what happened on my walk; it all seems like such a distant blur. I feel different but the transition has been subtle. What a crazy, beautiful experience this has been. I am forever grateful for the simplicity of the road and the wonderful people I became friends with.

Buem Camino.

I apologize for not updating my location recently. I am officially done with the Camino and currently spending these last few days at what used to be known as the end of the world, and what could now be considered paradise. Soaking it all up before I am off on my next adventure.

Tonight was spent climbing rocks on the beach at sunset and drinking wine, eating cake and playing poker with wonderful friends. These past few days have been very bittersweet. I am going to miss this.
