you ask the tough questions Jo--most of the time you cant see anyone ahead or behind you--maybe 60%of the time--so you can just go next to the path. for more serious tasks, its mostly the alberquesat night-morning--or a bar in the village if you can find one-- i couldnt today and just had to hang on-- a forest would have been handy but none available. No medications used except stuff for feet and muscles which i use every day. have left nothing behind i want. my spanish is terrible--usually point or say food? bed?--one spanish word at a time-though i´m good on the buenos dias and nearly everyone responds. lessons everyday mostly about my own judgments or prejudices--you have lots of time to reflect on decisions--judgments you make--its physically harder than i imagined--every day is difficult and exhausting--still waiting for that to improve as everyone says it does. and i imagine if anyone thinks theyre my conscience, maybe he should have a look at his own--or do the camino himself!!!!!!!!

Sitting here laughing about your extra conscience and your comments!! Had read them out to Paul last night and he had said that would be bloody '....' now don't want to mention names but getting a real kick out of this whole experience.It's Saturday morning here and I'm just thinking how great is is that I didn't have to get up and walk my hour this morning. No thought of taking a bus one day and sleeping in!! (without feeling guilty) Big Big Hugs Jo

Sat in a beautiful park in the Ridge this morning ( there actually is one here)with Jo pete Tina,CAndy TAhlia SAmantha and David and we talked about how you were going and how much we get out of reading your story. Pete's computer down and Candy can't get onto the site so we filled them in on basics. Didn't make reference to the fact that you may be struggling through mud and up hills exhausted while we were enjoying jo's home made muffins under a shady gum tree. Your meditative thought for the day "Feelings are the holiest force in the universe (they are the only reason for life) and the feeling of love is the holiest of the holy"
