D-day

Dear my friends,

I´m now 20km away to Santiago and it´ll be the last day of the pilgrimage tomorrow. Well, there´ll be still 80km to go to Finisterre, the end of West Spain from Santiago but... it´s a differnt story.

After the night, feeling sick and being alone, I slept quite good and long so felt a bit better in the morning. However, I was still not sure if I could walk long distance so just walked without a plan, swearing a lot : ¨What the hell is this? I feel sick, bad, get more and more sturbbon, sceptical and nasty, complain about everything... What the hell does holly pilgrimage give me at the end of the road? Yes, life is being alone, at the end... Thanks God for telling me what it is... ¨. blar blar blar... cough and cough...
It was anyway so bad so I´ve never stopped for a break for 6hrs as I was not sure if I could still go on after a break. It was crazy morning. However, after 24km walk, I met a nice company from Mexico who I just said hello before in an albergue and I kept my steps with him, talking about life. Oh, it´s much better to walk with somebody than alone even though I was still coughing badly.
What´s more, I met Sabine and Alain soon after I passed a town which I though I should stop if I was not well. At last, I made it to walk 40km from Protomarin to Melide, feeling ok.
I had a nice octupus dinner, something local special and met Alban, another pilgrim friend from France, again in a cafe.

So...
I feel now ok again. It was a little tiring day, walking long distance in a row but it´s the night before Santiago... feeling strange and still don´t realise it´s getting to the end.
It´ll be the 60th day on the road tomorrow and about 1,600km I´d have walked.
I just now realise... how crazy I was and my friends were...
I lost 3 toe nails so far on the road... as there´re blisters underneath toe nails and this bloody allergic reaction to insect bites... Damn... don´t want to thinkg about it again... lost an English guidebook of Camino Frances in Leon and looking for any guidebook in English for whole evening... etc, etc,....

I can´t imagine how it´d be tomorrow when I really enter the city, Santiago de Compostella.
I´ll tell you later...

Missing you all a lot a lot a lot,
Sejin
