Camino Frances: Day 2 - Peaks, Rain, Barefoot Walking, and Thunderous Skies | Day 251 of my 2023 Journal

Cecilie Conrad·Sep 9, 2023

Camino Frances. Day 2.

Crossed a Mountain.

A lot of up. Then, the bumpy top with several peaks. Met some unforeseen rain and got wet. Survived getting wet.

Left all of our sins plus a stone at the iron cross at the highest peak of the Camino.

Dried.

Jesper had to walk barefoot for 10k because of a blister.

Barefoot is good. Blister is not.

Lost a piece of jewelry. Worked through that.

Beautiful lunch, Camino style. Lentil soup and salad.

Extreme decent last 4k. I was grateful for my poles.

Arrived very tired at a beautiful mountain village halfway down.

Amazing sunset, even more overwhelming thunder in the surrounding clouds.

The ONE restaurant in town had extremely rude personnel and even worse food.

Thunder clouds kept on being beautiful, and the night was dark and (besides that) silent.

With love

Unschooling and Parent consulting, conversations, blogposts, and podcasts on family life and learning

Hi, I'm Cecilie Conrad. I'm a trained psychologist, mother of four, radical unschooler and full-time traveller. I have lived with unschooling for over a decade and help other families find their own path – whether it is about homeschooling, unschooling, or the bigger question of how you want to live as a family.

I offer guidance, conversations and talks. I call my work grandmothering – not coaching in the traditional sense, but presence, professional insight and concrete help navigating motherhood and finding your way home to your own values.

Am I the right person to help you? You can book a free discovery call, and we'll talk and figure it out.
