Anna in Santiago!!!!

And feeling just a little dazed by it all. I stayed in Lavacolla again because I just couldn´t face the walk up to Mount Joy last night.

I walked slowly in this morning with some friends and felt just very very weird.

I´ve walked about 900k and I´m starting to feel it but I would also quite like to start on to Finisterre on Monday, I´ve got the time and honestly I think I would rather not hang around Santiago, it feels so busy and rushed and I´m really only moving and thinking slowly right now.

I´m staying in the Hotel Suso which is quite nice (if small).

I have my compostella but I haven´t done any of the cathedral things yet because I want to wait until late tonight when it´s quiet.

Love you all and hope all is well!

Congratulations Anna. Hope you are soon feeling less tired and able to enjoy the moments in Santiago. It has been great reading as you have walked!

RAH!

I have been following you avidly and am so amazed and sort of proud of you even though I have no right to be. ;-)

Well done, Anna! What an achievement! I have shared your highs, and lows, and now I am sharing your satisfaction. Savour the moment. You have earned every bit of it.

Thank you =)

There´s a group of French people in their early twenties who have been been walking from Paris since July and did the last 700k with a dog they adopted (who is really really cute), compared to that what I´ve done is very very small. I´m not quite sure where I´m going with that except to say that I´m really nothing special.


P.s. are you sure you don´t want a vulture? :P

You will of course be in a position to pick up your own falcon very very soon.

I assume that she is on her way to Finisterre by foot.. pretty wild country , with few if any chances for internet. It is about 80k, so will probably take her 3-4 days (she sounds pretty tired so possibly closer to 4). There was no internet there when we were there in 2003 but may be by now. She will probably stay the night and bus back to S d C the next day (hopefully after burning some clothes on the rocks!). I think she is due to fly out Sunday so we will probably get some news Friday or Saturday NZ time. K

Oh no, I´ve gotten so used to wearing them now

They´re even better if I wear them with socks :P
