St. James Way

46th Hiking Day

On the way from Frómista to 20 km away [forgot the name; something very long]. I miss my stories. Travel journals are nice and all. But I want to work again and continue writing on "Igor". I don't even remember the names of the characters. But it all evolves over time and takes shape. I like the story. Short and funny. I want to keep working on it.

For today I would like to have company of Valentine, a beer and nuns' singing. What else? And an idea of how it could go on after the Camino de Santiago. Just to have a glimpse of my future. What did I always want to do? I have enough time and money. Right now I can imagine starting a family, building a house and going on vacation once a year. If someone made me such an offer for life now ... I'd take it right away. What a wonderful, comfortable life that would be. With a fireplace and a living room, a dog and evenings with hot tea.

Once again in a bar (with a large beer, with a view of the church) where I was with Lina, Deborah and the smart ass last time. Cheers guys. I love you all. You too, Georg.

Back then, in front of this church, Lina, me and the smart ass had this awesome photo of us. I think Deborah took it.

Reminisce beautifully. Cheers, guys. Wouldn't mind if it goes on like this. Comforting relaxation while I sip my beer.

I think I ate ice cream on the Camino just one time. But it doesn't matter. I found accommodation in the Albergue Santa Maria. Sisters of the Augustinian order provide us with excellent accommodation. In the evening the ladies took out the guitar and we sang songs. Also a small, yet big moment for me: I told in front of the whole group that I walk the Camino for a second time and reported about the private tour in the Castrojeriz wine cellar. Hats off, Mr. Gasché. Works alright. Reporting in front of large groups is possible. Maybe it's like giving a presentation back then. Anyway: the landlord would have been so proud of me making promotion for them.

Perhaps it is also my destiny to write and give speeches while others have fun with women. Each according to his talents. I didn't see Valentine today, by the way.
