Secrets of My Nomadic Heart

To share some sob stories, apart from taking care of my blisters, a few days ago I developed hemarroids. Urgh! i.e. It´s pain in the butt, really.

I don´t know how or why.....but I blame it on the following:

1) tasty cheap Spanish wine which I´ve been drinking much of until now.

2) I also got sore throat and was feeling warm. In Chinese terms, I have excess of Yang heat. It probably came from my fellow bunk mates who coughed virus into the same air I was breathing.


3) The unpredictable hot and cold weather doesn´t help as well. As LeeRoy from Detroit said, ¨Let me tell you how I stop the rain. When I put on my poncho, the rain will stop."

4) Lack of enough sleep caused by night orchestras of bunkmates snoring (Earplugs is a necessity here....)

Enough of the blaming.....I have to take care of myself. Walking with a pain in the butt is something else. =)

I´ve been drinking vitamin C, lots of water, eating fruits, sleeping well (I try!). I´m feeling much better now, and ready to take on the world. I had shorter walking days so I can rest more. After all the minor hiccups, I can now fly (i hope).

I have another 400km and 20 days to go! Yippee! Today I´m going to Sahagun!
