Decisions

Well today was the day to decide: where and how. The 8 mile hike to Estella was quite easy (imagine 8 miles with PACK becoming easy). So by the time I arrived I knew I would have to travel to the "end of the earth" Fisterra so on the bus I went. I knew I could not keep up this pace and do the last 100 km of the walk so concessions must be made....
Along the way I was thinking about success and failure. If I start in Sarria and finish in Fisterra I will have walked 300km. Is that enough? It´s not the 500km I thought about but is 300 enough? But then enough for whom? It´s enough for me. And isn´t that all that really matters. And when the decision was finally made I for the first time in many, many months had a sense of peace. I was now walking my Camino.

Note: Success with PACK today! Not saying that too loudly as to awaken the sleeping giant...
