The last week has been very hectic with early starts and so many people arriving in the Albergue's. I would think that there is at least double the travelers this season and as a result it has taken longer for people to connect and form into harmonious groups. The large numbers have made it more of a race at times to secure accommodation from town to town and this detracts from the essence of committing to the Camino. It's so important to find your rhythm and feel the pulse of the day, as this is where the little surprises and moments of magic sit in waiting.
I'm feeling that I will change course soon and pull out of the group as a routine has formed and I'm finding less and less time for myself and my Camino! It's wonderful to see friendly faces everyday as you arrive in the villages and cities that dot the route along the French Way, however the daily socializing is costing me precious time that I need to stay centered and enjoy being the observer. I will make time soon to catch up on some of the journey with you and add some photos of the last week.
