Walking the Camino Oh dear, it is ages since I posted here, and I have lots to catch up on. On the first leg of my round the world trip that started in May, I got to do something I have always dreamed of doing. I walked the Camino with my daughter and her husband. Since we cannot bring scallop shells back into Australia, my daughter printed our scallop shells on her 3 D printer! After trying on multiple pairs of shoes, in the end I purchased my favourite kind, Orthoheel, that I often buy from the pharmacy. I packed silicone sleeves for my hammer toes, and soft woolen roving, to add extra cushioning. We bought special socks that have a ribbed area around the instep, packed and re-packed, and weighed our backpacks. I took two sets of thin lycra capri pants, one long pair, and two short sleeved tops, plus one long sleeved one. Socks and undies, 3 sets, one small microfiber towel, and a small bar of shampoo/soap, toothbrush and toothpaste. This was what daily foot preparation looke
I loved it. A good reminder for me of the meaning of Life. What is the meaning of Life? To spend it in a way that is worth the expense. The cost is brevity. The price is joy.
