I looked back to my blog of 2007, and the Camino Frances. The feelings are so similar. The same self doubts and worries, and the wondering, but in reality I think it is all set.
Walked Sunday and Monday, but both short. Sunday was special, as before, a walk with the boys. This time up past the Newmans Nursery ruins. We had quite a chat and saw 15 (I counted 8) roos. The boys counted them up as well as down. The boys are feeling the coming seperation, with many requests for 'lie-down hugs'. I look forward to the time we travel on the Camino together.
We have just been for a blessing of my journey with Father George. Exactly as before, except with Father Pat then. We had a great chat about the meaning of it all. It sets the scene and the mood.
The weather here is 11C, and in Coimbra today 31C. I think a shock is in store.
I arrive Lisboa on Sunday morning, train to Coimbra on Monday and meet Steve, and then Tuesday we head North.

Your walk has the look of the camino in Galicia oh, and also Camino Portugués. I remember seeing Waratah (Bottlebrush) in Portugal.
Maybe next time the boys can go with their Dad.
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. Live the experience.
