A WEEK DOWN

6 September 2023, Camino 3, Day 7

Najera to Santo Domingo de la Calzada

Today was a difficult day for me. My pack felt heavy and I just didn’t seem to walk as quickly. There can be a real mind game walking the camino. Questions and doubts flooded my mind. However despite those doubts I managed to somehow trudge on and made it into town.

A trudging we will go, A trudging we will go, Heigh Ho Camino a trudging we will go.

Santo Domingo de la Calzada is known for a famous legend about a young man, a jealous girl, and some crowing fried chickens. Click here to read the story

That’s about all I have to share today. Tomorrow is about a 13 mile day and I plan to have my pack transported ahead to our next hotel. My shoulders need the rest.

Buen Camino

My stamp today

Published by michelleperram

I am me, a person with love for others, a passion to be creative, and a desire to be a cheerleader for others. I’m a wife, a mommy, and a grandma (you can call me by my grandma name “Lady M”). I’m on a search to grow and connect more fully with God. I didn’t grow up particularly church, married a man who had, and we raised our three daughters in the church. I found a place to belong in the church and somehow discerned a call to go to seminary. I received a Masters of Arts and Religious Communication (MARC). I went on to become ordained as a deacon in the United Methodist Church and served in media ministry and Christian education. As clergy I found that I didn’t have a place to belong in the church so I left the United Methodist Church in 2010. I still believe and I’m still on a quest to draw closer to God. And I’m going to walk the Camino de Santiago.
