Today started early in unexpected and undesirable, as was announced at the hostel once more getting up at 5:00 clock. Too bad, we had slept so well ;-) As consideration of the universe for the early start but we were rewarded with the most beautiful dawn of the whole Caminos. With consideration for my ever walk again reporting, progress was slow, we estimated for needing the upcoming 22 km in a constant up and down in Galicia about 7 hours. The pace was also the rapidly rising temperatures affected. At 11:30 clock we passed a small hamlet in a thermometer, which already indicated whopping 28 degrees. Since skin cream was announced, to avoid sunburn. Melissa and I took advantage of the present day, to let our experience of the last two weeks to review your, and thank God we are allowed to hold as a conclusion that there were not so few and also quite a few plans that we would like to implement at home. It was rewarding 14 days, when we arrive in Santiago tomorrow and St. James will embrace and we would like to miss despite all the difficulties and setbacks. The Camino was physically and emotionally secure a bigger challenge than last time, gave us but again given answers to some important questions to us and us in dealing with resistance strengthened. We have again allowed to meet many people with whom we are a part of the way gone together and some of which we have not seen the last time. @ Ralf, I know you read this ... chin up ... .. you'll make this a pinch on the yellow flip-flops ;-))
Tomorrow morning it is so on the last leg, passing Lavacolla at the airport (which roughly means "to wash genitals" as, since the medieval pilgrims have probably cleaned more thoroughly before they are moved to the city) and about the Monte do Gozo, the cathedral, where we will spend tomorrow afternoon. On Thursday a trip is to Cape Finisterre on the program, where we will again burn a garment as a symbol back calm worries and fears. It certainly is with me this time a sock ;-(
Because today we had plenty of opportunities for reflection, are also more sayings of the day:
life is what one happens if you just make other plans. (unknown)
Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they actions.
Eighth be on your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become your character.
Watch your character, for he is your destiny. (Unknown)
On objectives of your desires you will miss least one thing: Walking to your destination.
(Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach)
Many greetings home!
