Hi,
So here is an interesting map showing exactly where I started and where I will be going.
http://maps.google.es/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=st-jean+pied+du+port,+france&daddr=fromista+spain+to:Rabanal+del+Camino,+24722+Santa+Colomba+de+Somoza+to:santiago+de+compostella&geocode=FcSRkgIdexvt_ylNv1OkZdVQDTHAxoJVGGUGHQ%3BFTrzhAId3cG8_ymb49MZ1cxHDTED4JqXlkUfUQ%3BFcg2iAId4Beg_ykDmxOfHlE3DTEg-mvuCYcFCg%3BFb9NjgIdAZh9_ynD0alwRv4uDTFETI2l4-mnJQ&hl=es&mra=ls&sll=42.86488,-4.895865&sspn=7.423347,14.040527&ie=UTF8&z=6
A) is where I started the walk
B) is where I was the last time I blogged
C) is where I am today
D) is where I will finish my journey
Today was very tough, there were no albergues where I really needed one so I had to push a little further and did 37km (I usually do 30ish). This is much more then I am used to, the last 5km were absolutely brutal. The good news is that the weather has been absolutely amazing. Dry heat along with the lack of clouds makes so hot but enjoyable days. After all, it could be raining, in which case my shoes would be soaked and I would definitely be cursing all the time.
I have been doing the last couple of days with Mr. Lee from South Korea, he is University Professor only 1 year away from retirement and he is trying to figure out the next step in his life. I am fascinated by Korean culture and think I will have no choice but to visit when I am in the area. So far the Korean people I have met have been very hospitable and welcoming. I guess this has been my first real encounter with an Asian aside from a buddy I made from Singapore.
One day at a time, I can feel myself getting closer to the end and it will be truly rewarding.
