day29 30
i ended up the only person at Portela Valcarce--STILL NO APPETITE--But order dinner anyway---get about one third thru it and feel sick--have a fever again--this time i..m freezing cold--take another 2 disprin and go to bed again at 7 and slowly warm up. Its great being the only person in the room---you can turn on the light when you get up--i..m used to doing all my preparations in the dark. FEELING BETTER THE NEXT DAY--CLimb another mountain--it rises 2000 feet in 7 km--quite challenging on rocky mountain paths but my legs seem better able to cope now---get to the top at 11 (O´´Cebriero) and push on another 12 kms---27 in total and find another quiet place to stay atFonfria where i find a single bed---on ny bed for hours in the arvo resting my feet. Dinner at 8 is communal---decide its too late for me--and then change my mind---wonderful dinner---rich hot vegetable soup---then trays of meat and potatoes--as much as you want---then sweets--and as much wine as you want---all for $14---my first meal in 3 days. Today was a beautiful days walking--up high on mountains and fantastic landscapes every minute--in the valleys below you can see fields and villages and monasterys---prettier than a painting---pushed it today again 27 kms---if i average 24 km a day i.ll finish on wednesday--but nothing is certain as ive discovered---walked with some irish girls today for 40 mins--friends of Dominic--also ran into Granya and Connie. Found a lovely place in Sarria tonight for 6e and there was a bath---I was in it so quickly---and later noticed a sign that said it was for the disabled---but figured i was disabled enough to qualify--it seems like i.m nearly there---but i have to keep remembering i still have to walk another 120kms

I Can't beleive it's only another few days to go. i Thought you'd be going forever. Your legs mightjus keep walkig anyway when you stop. JUst keep to your schedule. don't try and be a hero just be safe and well.If you're looking for your next big challenge, this is your thought... " When one door closesanother opens. expect that new door to reveal even greater wonders and glories and surprises. Feel yourself grow with every experience. And look for the reason for it"
have just caught up with your doings after a week in Sydney (training for work)and realize you are just about there. Have been reading walk in a relaxed manner,wonderful ..love this..May flowers spring up where your feet touch the earth, may the feet that walked before you bless your every step. May the weather that is important be the weather of your heart. May all of your intentions find their way into the heart of God. May your prayers be like flowers strewn for other pilgrims. May your heart find meaning in unexpected events. May friends who are praying for you carry you along the way.May friends who are praying for you be carried in your heart. May the circle of life encircle you along the way. May the broken world ride on your shoulders. May you carry your joy and your grief in the backpack of your soul. May you remember all the circles of prayer throughout the world. .. Love you.
