I tried to pack 16 lb but I cannot bring it lower than 19. I am thinking that packing has to do with fear and control. Fear that I may need something I don’t have and control because I want to have everything I may need. I think this will lead to my first lesson along the way.

Traté de empacar a un límite de 16 libras pero no puedo bajar de 19. Pienso que esto tiene que ver con mis miedos y porque quiero controlar todo. Miedo por no tener aquello que vaya a necesitar y control por querer tener todo lo que vaya a necesitar. Creo que esto me está conduciendo a mi primera lección de El Camino.
Hi Luz Maria,
Thanks for the link to your blog. I wish you all the best and will think of you when I look at the stars at night! I will keep in touch. I sent the link to Caroline. She did a travel blog when she went to Spain and loves to hear about travel. Take care!

Hola Luz Marie!
Wow! I didn’t realize that you had already left for this once in a lifetime adventure. Thank you for the link. When I was younger I did a trip across the provinces to British Columbia which included walking for 2 days through the Rockies. I only had 12 pounds but even that became almost unbearable as time passed. This is a quote that I try to live by when I travel these days and for many years I have only taken a carry on bag…”The best feeling in the world is realizing that you’re perfectly happy without the thing you thought you needed”.
Vaya con Dios Fran Drake

Hi – Jean sent me your link – we are in a walking group in Fenelon together.
I am a pilgrim – in April and May I walked from St Jean PdP for the second time. The first time was 2007, and in 2012 I went back and worked as a hopitalera (volunteer) at Refugio Gaucelmo in Rabanal, then walked on to Santiago. That albergue is a must stop – the church across the plaza does vespers every evening at 7:30, with Gregorian chant.
I have so many wonderful memories, and will relive them as I follow along on your blog.
I too have a blog – http://www.caminowanderings.blogspot.ca
I hope you have the most wonderful pilgrimage.
Blessings, and Buen Camino.
