Tomorrow Santiago?

If all goes well I will walk 20 km into Santiago tomorrow. All during this walk, pilgrimage, endeavour, hike, I have never said I was going to Santiago. I know that stuff happens. Ankles get twisted, passports get lost, pilgrims get sick or discouraged. I took it one or two days at a time. I walked with wonderful people, banal people, mentally disturbed people, lovable people, boring people, people I could trust and want to stay friends. And I walked a lot by myself and with myself.

Here are some things I saw today

Starting off
Can you see the yellow inside? There really is corn in there
A friend came to say hello
Well, not impossible!

    Oh Iso, you did it or have done it, whatever! Whatever!!! Again. I am so proud to know you and I admire your spunk and perseverance. Your pictures are wonderful but mostly I will be glad to have you home as, I am sure, your family will be. You will find life very boring for a while but you will have to put up with us. I hope you remain friends with those you want to have friends. I am off to put air in the wheelbarrow wheel, talking about banalities. Love you, MP.

      Sometimes I felt you with me. Will you be up at Labelle a bit longer?

    You are getting there. It is too rich and profound for anything mundane I could add here. I am sure that a different part of you has been released.You may even a little bout of post-walkem blues? Are you going to try to get to some islands you were considering? It will be amazing when you get to Santiago…
