I’m back home. Yeah!

I love traveling, but returning home is especially comforting. No more finding a new hostel, hotel, or bnb. No more wandering around trying to find a convenience store or restaurant that is open. No more wondering who I’ll meet today. I love traveling but the hidden stress of so much change can be ovewhelming.

I’m back home, but I won’t be forgetting the Portuguese Camino. I’ve found that making sense of my experiences takes time. If I give myself that time, I will be returning to Lisbon, Tomar, Santarem, Porto, Vigo; I’ll be returning to Min, Emily, Florence, and others. The memories are rich. I hope that my understanding will do justice to those memories.
