My Camino friend Viv bought herself a beautiful silver ring to commemorate her Camino journey. It’s lovely and has all the Camino symbols around it: shell, arrow, even an umbrella for those rainy days. It was so beautiful that I decided to get one also.
When I looked I picked one out with all the symbols. However on the other side of the ring is the word Ultreia.
I didnt notice this word until after I had picked it out. I asked the shop owner what it meant. He didn’t speak any English but he gestured a lot and said “Camino” several times so I figured it was some variation on “Buen Camino”. Ok, I was more interested in the Camino symbols so I thought I’ll just wear the symbols side up.
When I got to my room that night I sent my friend a picture. I wasn’t paying attention so “Ultreia” was prominent. She texted back and asked what it means. I did a little research and found out that it another greeting on the Camino. It’s meaning is “beyond”. The real sense is to encourage a pilgrim to go “beyond” the physical act of walking the Camino.
If you click on the word “Ultreia” it will take you to a link with a better explanation than I can give.
But getting back to the point at hand (or finger I guess), I like it. Ultreia. Go beyond just walking Michelle. Go beyond.
Ultreia
One day I decided to go for a walk... 
Perfect.
So are you ready to go on Camino?
Still wishing to go but money is still the biggest obstacle.
“Infinity and beyond!”
as said in Toy Story!
That’s what my friend Viv said 😉
