My First Camino Day: That Backpack Felt Heavier Uphill?

My first walking day on the Camino begins at the cathedral in Le Puy-en-Velay and those downhill steps don’t last nearly long enough! Follow me to Bains as I tackle the hills with my backpack, enjoy the French countryside, and discover that lessons in patience can begin before you even leave the hostel. Along the way, I carry a question: What do I miss from childhood that adults quietly lose? By the end of the day, I have a few thoughts—and some very tired feet. What do you miss most from childhood? Tell me in the comments.
