Tracie – Tuesday

Posted on by

last day in Madrid

tomorrow back to Santiago so I can catch my flight, which comes back through Madrid.

jerkfaces wouldn’t let me change it…

still sick with the strep throat, worried the antibiotics aren’t doing their thing but only time will tell.

Evan and Aaron left yesterday. I cried a little when Evan gave Jackson his goodbye hug. I mean, it’s only a couple weeks until we are all back in the states, many of us in the Northwest. But here (Spain/Portugal/Europe) is different then there. Friendship is different in the “real world.” Or is it? Curious to see what happens when we are all home; I know that I fell in love with all of my classmates over the past few months and I imagine some of them might even love me back. Maybe it is easier to love on the Camino. There is no bullshit distraction, just body on trail, weighed down with pack. This frees up time to really be with the people you are with. Phones off, being right where you are, and being okay with that.

I am quite excited to go home though. I miss my life. I miss my family and my friends.

Ready.
