First day on 'French Way' parts of it were like a motorway. I noticed lots of locals with 'day bags'. Apparently they can get 'Compostela' certificate for walking 62.5 miles. All albergues, hostals 'completo' in all towns. The words 'crops' and 'locusts' spring to mind. Its 19.20 hr and we've done over 40k. Stopped for coffee. Looking down the barrels of 50k before hope of bed? We've done it all on chocolate biscuits and kit kats. There's dozens on the roads. We could be under the stars. If we get anywhere I will be too knackered to wash clothes. Tomorrow will be 'eau de Pablo el camino'. Wer of agen??

You need to slow down now Paul - your camino is almost over and, believe it or not, in a few weeks time you will wish you were back trudging those miles again.
Be prepared for the PPBs - Post Pilgrimage Blues. As a pilgrim you are living such a simple but physically taxing, minimalist life. Soon you will be back to your easy, complicated life.
Many people think that they will find themselves on a long walk - I think they lose themselves! You may not be the same Paul who set off a month ago!
Abrazos dear peregrino,
Sil
