a good day
Had dinner with a Finnish couple last night Heli and Matti---doing a 2 week camino--enjoyed a 3 course meal for $15. Up at 615 this morning and it was pouring--got ready anyway and just working out which swimming stroke I should use when it stopped completely about one minute before I stepped into it---water everywhere but none from above. Felt great walking today--in the first hour passed Pedroo --about my age from South Africa--doing a 4 week camino and Orilli --a young girl from France--doing from Longrono to Santiago---she did St Jean to Longrono 3 years ago.Stopped for a break about 1030--had a coffee and a freshly made Tortilla and a hunk of fresh crusty bread---just the bees knees---felt I was just flying after that---actually went a bit further than intended--ended up at Arzua--30km on--so I would only have 19km tomorrow--my feet so good today---the walk was spectacular--no wonder people do the last 100 kms its just so continuously beautiful---the end in sight almost---but still have 40 km to go--have to continue to stay in the now---still have the beard--a bit more substantial now--but its days are numbered--- I seem to be the only one growing one for the camino---and I.ve carried a razor all that way!!!! Have lost weight too---just about run out of holes in my belt---but feel good for it--but intend to work hard at putting it back on before I get back to Aus

Last leg, but still have your legs, so so wonderful to be so far along with only hours to go, fantastic,spectacular,brilliant,bunois Camino, Put your feet up and now truly enjoy each kilometre. Can't wait to see you, love and hugs
Highlight of my day when you rang Mum. Just so emotional. I could just imagine you dripping wet trying to find a phone and ot getting through and then finally success!! And still being cautious about making it to the end.. from our point of view you'll sail the last few days with wings on your feet, soaking up the last mystical days and getting every last drop out of the experience. So proud of you - you should be so proud of you. One last little commentfrom Paramahansa Yogananda "When a little bubble of joy appears in your sea of consciousness take hold of it and keep expanding it. Meditate on it and it will grow larger. Keep puffing at the bubble until it breaks it's confining walls and becomes a sea of joy"
