Well, it’s been about a year since our pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. We still remember fondly the memories of our 135 mile trek through northwest Spain – the physical challenges, the friendships made, the feeling of accomplishment of making it to Santiago not too worse for wear. I’m still processing the experience of the journey, hopefully incorporating the positive lessons learned.
This year, we are being tourists rather than pilgrims, although we will still carry the pilgrim philosophy. We are off the Prague, then joining a Rick Steves Best of Eastern Europe tour with 24 other travelers. We will be visiting Kraków, Poland, Auschwitz, Budapest, Croatia and Slovenia, where the tour ends. Then we will be going to Vienna for 3 days before returning home.
We are trying to embrace the packing light philosophy- three weeks in a 21 inch carry- on and a day pack. Needless to say I’ll be doing some laundry.
This blog has been resurrected from the ashes of the day-to- day routine of our typical American lifestyle- we are back on our pilgrimage!
