true life planet

This will be the shortest entry I have ever written, mostly because I am almost out of money and have already written three…

The Camino has changed….I was abit nervous to skip ahead to the last 100 kilometers, thinking I would be walking with more of the same sort of people(walking 45 kilometers in a day, and so on) and I was told by some that I was ¨cheating¨!

However, when I arrived in Ferreiros… I was most pleasantly surprised…the other people walking along with me are eithe (a) just starting out, and only walking 100 kilometers, or (b) exhausted from walking for weeks on end, and so have mellowed out, or (c) skipped ahead as I did because they are injured.

The number of people who are very injured and so are moving along at a snail´s pace has increased dramatically. So, I am in excellent company.

For me, the Meseta part of the Camino was the best part for thinking, for musing, for figuring out my way in life-but this last leg is so beautiful, so lush, so green, so..breathtakingly beautiful,  that to me it is the best part to take slowly and enjoy.

In fact, I am quite happy to be injured and limping my way along thru what has to be one of the most beautiful places I´ve ever been in my entire life.

So, enjoying myself immensely..and probably no more entries until Santiago itself!
