Day 37: Ribadiso to O Pedrouzo | Camino Frances 2019 | Camino de Santiago

[@goth3631]

Thank you 🥰 Please don't make us wait so long for your Santiago arrival x

[@harrykey2448]

You have really captured the true essence of the Camino from a pilgrim perspective. It has been lovely sharing your walk with your thoughts and observations. Your videos very much reflect my own experience and make me even more determined to repeat the experience this year. I look forward to watching your arrival in Santiago.

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m happy you’ve enjoyed the video and hope you make your next Camino soon! Until then, be well and Buen Camino! 👣

[@mirenastoilova5977]

How nice to see again your videos, Camino is calling us ❤️

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you for your patience!! Be well and Buen Camino!!

[@dltallan]

Almost there! You mention the excitement of the people just heading out and how, although you also have excitement, your head is in a different space. It is like the difference between the infatuation of new love and the deep love of a happily married couple who have moved beyond that.

[@IllGetThere]

So close!! 😊👣

[@IllGetThere]

And yes! It’s excitement, but of a different, deeper kind. Thank you so much for following along! 😊👣

[@carlosrocha4282]

I love all your caminho....thanks for that...setember its my Turn again but first time on caminho francês 😘🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@IllGetThere]

Wonderful!! Thank you so much for following along and Buen Camino!! 👣

[@banitesscruz9771]

Another beautiful morning on the Camino 😀 Turning shoes into flower pots, pretty (3:50-4:03) Technology has not yet learned how to capture odors into video 😂 That must have been an emotional moment (5:12-5:17) Interesting footage (6:00-6:12) Cute dogs(6:13-6:15) Having come with you so far (virtually of course) I understand how you feel🥲 (7:01- 9:10)

[@terrymchugh7605]

I see you getting emotional now but at this point we all do. In O Pedrouzo, I so wanted it to go on and on, I decided to stop next night in Monte do Gozo and make it last one more day. So glad to see you posting again. Hope that addiction has kicked in and you are planning to go back, I did 3 more times and would go back again in a heartbeat. Buen Camino

[@IllGetThere]

Yes, quite emotional! Even editing the videos, I have been reliving all the bittersweet feelings of my journey. I appreciate your patience and your support as I playback my Camino. And the addiction "kicked in" very early on while on The Way! I'm looking at the Norte in the next year or two--hoping the world opens up again and I can make my way over again very soon. Buen Camino!

[@FarmerLynneSaskatchewan]

Thank you for this and all your other 36+ videos on the Camino de Santiago! I thoroughly enjoyed all of them! The information you provide is a valuable resource for someone like me who hopes to one day walk the Way. Looking forward to watching you walk into Santiago!

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so much for following along and for your kind words! I’m so happy you’ve found the videos helpful and I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. It means so much that others have found my own humble journey insightful and informative. I hope you are able to make your own Camino very soon! Until then, be well and Buen Camino! 👣

[@johandavid2309]

So grateful you're back.

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so much! I sincerely apologies for going AWOL! Last video to Santiago going up next week. So bittersweet! Buen Camino!

[@sherryduffenais4815]

I can totally understand how the newbie energy interrupts the reflective process. The last few days must be very emotional. Thanks for sharing your Camino with us. Looking forward to your future journeys. 🥾❤️

[@IllGetThere]

Yes, it can be a distraction--but that's also part of the journey and part of the growing that you can still do. You can choose to let it eat away at you or you can accept it and grow. So many lessons learned that I've tried to apply to my life after the Camino! Thank you so much for following along and Buen Camino!

[@pinkandspice1691]

Thanks for sharing your experience. You are right about not judging pilgrims that start the last 100 km. Some people they have only 7 days and some has physical disability but like to experience the camino. I think each person is entitled to do their own camino in their own way and style at the end the most important thing is you learned the lesson, and find your way to live a meaningful life and closer to God.

[@maryurquidez5850]

Just one more day. How exciting!

[@IllGetThere]

Indeed! Thank you for watching!!

[@Writerdane]

Hey Rachelle, i am glad that you eventually uploaded your penultimate steps to Santiago. I imagine that the emotions are amplified for you as you are reliving the journey's end. One day I will do this same journey to Santiago and I will be grateful that you documented your Camino so that I will somewhat prepared to do mine. You actually have one of the better daily vlogs about the Camino as you don't shy away from the accommodations of the towns and cities you visit. Thank you and I look forward to the next one.

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so much. Yes, there is a sadness mixed with anticipation as I edit these clips-but it has reawaken my desire to return even more. I hope you can make your Camino one day soon. Until then, be well and Buen Camino! 👣

[@notfromhere8809]

So overwhelming....we can feel your heart...heavy but so full! Can’t wait for the next video. ;). You’ll have to do a follow up video to let us know how you’ve changed since the fall of 2019.

[@IllGetThere]

Thank of so much for following the journey! I would love to do a follow up and hope that I can do so soon after the series is complete. 👣

[@jmayucar]

Rachell, so many days without knowing anything about your very experiential pilgrimage. I almost became worried about you. How happy I am to live with you again stage 37. Your feet walk towards Santiago, and your heart wants to reach Compostela, but inside you are slowing down as if wishing that this rich experience did not come to an end. This is how you make it live for those of us who follow you on the Camino. Don't keep us in suspense for as long as this time. Waiting for your happy and long-awaited arrival in Santiago. Buen Camino!.

[@IllGetThere]

You’re exactly right-a moving journey that I didn’t want to end. Santiago next week, so not too much longer to wait. I wish you well and Buen Camino! 👣

[@trajanaugustus8783]

Another great upload. Brings back memories of 2019 and better times on the Camino.

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so much for watching and for your patience with my uploading, lol. Santiago coming this week!

[@mdew3255]

Thank you so much for posting...for sharing this adventure with us! My daughter and I walked the Camino in 2016. Watching you go through this amazing experience brought so many memories back. Thank you 🙏🏼. Watching you now, the expressions on your beautiful face, hearing you sing...all this has given me so much joy! Your teary eyes are expressing so much...my heart sends your heart a big hug dear lady!💞🤗🤗🥰🙏🏼🌞🌻

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so very much for your kind words! It is truly a bittersweet journey--then and even now, as I edit these clips. I pray I will return one day soon! I'm so happy you have been enjoying the videos and I thank you for the big hug. :) Be well and Buen Camino!

[@monicanecoechea4782]

Hi Rachelle! Just stopping by to thank you so much for your beautifully documented Camino. Just last week, a video or post "found" me about the Camino. From there I knew I had to do it. For several reasons but also in memory of my Dad who's background is from the Basque country. So long story short, in my focused research, I came across your packing video- thank you- which motivated me to start my list now in preparation of going sometime soon. Then, in an effort of getting more info, I watched a few videos of your journey, with no plan to watch all. But instead I had to binge watch your full series. I just finished #37 and like a Netflix series, almost freaked out because the last episode was missing. But going through the comments I'm seeing that you're just getting ready to post. So in a sense it was perfect timing that I just started your series now... lol. Again, great editing and documenting of this epic and beautiful journey. I can't wait to see the end of your journey and hopefully start mine some day soon! 🙏🇪🇸🚶‍♀️ P.S. Can you consider doing a follow up packing video on what you would take again vs what you wouldn't and what you would add. That perspective would be so helpful.

[@IllGetThere]

Wow!! Thank you so much for sharing with me! I’m so happy you’ve found the videos helpful! Santiago is scheduled to upload tomorrow, so stay tuned. And I did a gear review while I was in Santiago, so that will follow, as well. Thank you so much for your patience and I’m so happy to know you’re following along! Happy planning and be well until your own journey! Buen Camino! 👣❤️

[@annika8453]

Been waiting for your end (sort of) run. You have kept us in so much suspense. I have been checking every week, and finally you're almost there. So proud and so impressed Rache. One more step . . . Stay safe!

[@davidmendiola972]

You have posted a lot of nice videos on here (about 37 of them), but this is your best one yet. I had the same feelings you had at this point in the Camino but I've never known how to express that feeling with words the way you just did. Thanks.

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so much. I’ve always thought of myself as inarticulate, but I did my best-some things you just have to experience to know. Thank you, again, and Buen Camino!

[@cindyrodriguez166]

Well ... I knew I missed watching your videos, but don’t think I knew how much until I started watching this one! I’m so glad you are ok ...and posting again. I felt your emotions in this video and am so anxious to see your arrival to Santiago ... hoping it is soon! ❤️

I’m always excited to see your video postings. I started watching your journey at the beginning of Covid, it was such a nice escape! Take your time posting your next video.... because when your journey ends, so does the journey of the people you have taken along with you. Thank you again 🙏🏻

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so much for following me on this journey. It’s always difficult to see something end-I felt the same when I was preparing for my Camino and watched other people’s stories on KZbin. I felt such a connection and was sad I would never see them again, lol. But Santiago was the start of something, not the end. And I do hope to return in the next few years, God willing.

Yay! So happy to see this upload today. I’ve been following your camino since the pandemic began and I’ve enjoyed your candid reflections of your journey. I’m hoping to hike the camino this fall. May I ask what dates you started and ended your hike? Just wondering as it will help me plan for the what weather I should expect. God Bless.

Thank you so much for following along and for your patience as I upload the end of my journey. I started walking on September 12th in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port and arrived in Santiago on October 19th. I hope you are able make your Camino! Until then, be well and Buen Camino! 👣

[@evertdyk]

Thank you for this video full of emotions. I was looking forward to it and especially to how you would deal with these emotions. By meeting all these people along the way you meet yourself, and how beautiful is that! And: did your Camino really start after arriving in Santiago? 🙄 thank you so much!!

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so much! And yes, I would say there is a journey that begins after you’ve experienced something like The Way. Perhaps not the same kind of “Camino”, but one nonetheless in which we take what we’ve learned and the spirit with which we walked back to our “real lives”. I hope to go a follow up on this once the rest of the videos are up. It’s been nearly 2 years and does the Camino still affect me? In short, yes. 😊 Thanks, again, for following along. Santiago next week! Buen Camino! 👣

[@FranLopezV]

Thanks Rachelle for your video, I feld the same feelings as you. I made part of the Camino at the same time as you did. Soon I´ll be back and that´s the plan for the rest of my life... is there a better plan to do?: walk, make friends, meditate, see wonders :D Buen Camino

thank you! - i walked around the same time as you but never met you - i started in Sr Jean 23/9 - my recollection of the last 100k was cold and wet miserable weather and i longed for no more cow shit smells which is mainly what i remeber of gallicia - but i did like the gallego or gallician soup served scaldingly hot.
