It will be almost five years since I heeded the first call from the Camino De Santiago.  It calls again and I am compelled to answer.  This time it will be very different.  Instead of trekking the popular French Way, I shall be walking the Portugese Path.  My dates are set and my tasks to get ready are many but I have lots of time as this trip will begin at end of February 2018.  I am stoked.  This time I will walk the camino as a vegetarian and be alchohol free.  I gave up meat and drink on September 1, 2014 a little over a year after my first Camino.  It may be a big challenge but I hope to make it fun.  I am starting up this blog again for my family and friends so that they may know the details/progress of my Camino via Portugal in 2018.  Though I will physically walk in Portugal, I will continue to name my journey “Camino Calgary” just like the first time when I walked it in Spain.  I truly believe I never left it when I returned home from Spain in 2013.  This upcoming trip to Portugal is merely a continuation of the same journey unfolding the mystery of my human experience.  What does it have in store for me?  I cannot wait…..
