Welcome!

Welcome to the blog of the Three C's - three Canadians, walking the Camino, with 'Can-do' attitudes.
While I will be doing most of the journalling, you will be hearing often from my Camino sisters, two actual sisters, Wendy and Dee.  We invite you to join us on our Camino journey, as we find "Our Way" from the south of France to the End of the Earth, Fisterra - a journey of close to 1,000 kms.

Tres Pelegrinos, Christmas 2014, out for a walk

Before we leave, we will be sharing some thoughts about the Camino, what we are doing and feeling in the final days of the count down. In doing my own searching of blogs, I found the following quote, which sums up how I am feeling right now - I am driven by this irresistible urge to walk the Camino. In my soul I know I must do this journey and that is how it has been, since we learned of this pilgrimage, almost three years ago.

"I talked to a monk in a monastery ... and I asked him, 'You see tens of thousands of people coming through here; is there one thing that unites us all that we all have in common, whether we're atheists or believers?' And he said, 'Yes, actually there is. Anyone who does this pilgrimage — or any pilgrimage — is driven by an irresistible urge to do it, and they don't know where it comes from. And sometimes they figure it out while they're walking, or afterward, or never.' And, you know, the more I thought about it, the more I realized he was right. I set out with a zillion questions in my head, and I didn't come back with a lot of answers; I came back with more questions. But I really do think that the question is the answer."
