My dream of over 20 years came true, and in the spring of my 68th year, I went on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage in Spain. After raising children and caring for my husband and my four parents for 10 years, I thought, "I should have things I want to do too," and remembered the Camino de Santiago that I saw in an NHK series over 20 years ago. At that time, I thought, "I'd like to walk it someday." Later, I borrowed books about the Camino de Santiago from the library, but back then, the medieval pilgrimage had declined, and not many people went, so the accommodations, food, and paths weren't well-maintained, making it a difficult journey. Over 20 years later, when the caregiving ended and the time came to realize my dream, I started researching, and the pilgrimage route had changed dramatically! ① Public albergues (hostels) in the style of youth hostels were also established along the route. ② The journey, which was difficult if you couldn't speak Spanish, became manageable with almost everyone speaking English. ③ Above all, it was an era where all kinds of information could be obtained via smartphones! The pilgrimage route itself had become a World Heritage site, and it was a famous route visited by many people from all over the world! During this time, I was always strengthening my legs and lower back to maintain my health while caring for others, so even at 68, I thought, "I can do it!" and started gathering equipment one by one to go the following spring, 2018. First, I bought walking shoes from La Sportiva at Kōjitsu Sansō, and the second thing I bought was this Montbell sleeping bag (¥21,060 including tax). It might be more expensive now. I also bought a silk inner sheet (¥14,300 including tax). I used it for about 2/3 of the entire journey. The reason is that at first, I wasn't used to it, and it took me a lot of trouble to put the sleeping bag away in the morning. The albergues are located along the ridge of the mountain pilgrimage route, and the nights in May can be cold in some places, and some have stoves for heating, so it wasn't surprisingly cold, and I would open the sleeping bag completely and use it like a blanket. The next morning, many people were dressed warmly in preparation for the departure in the dark and were ready to start walking immediately, and there were also places where blankets were stacked and could be borrowed, so I often didn't use the sleeping bag. Public albergues basically have bunk beds. The sleeping bag took up the most space in my backpack. After returning home, I hung it out to dry in the shade and stored it loosely in non-woven fabric instead of the bag, but since I fully enjoyed the 780km pilgrimage, I decided to put it up for sale for someone who will make good use of it from now on.
