Mi sono imbattuto in questo libro proprio in un giorno in cui ero indeciso in merito ad una importante decisione lavorativa. Proprio in quelle ore stavo pensando al caso, alle varie vicissitudini che mi avevano portato in quella determinata situazione ed all'intreccio di situazioni che erano occorse fino ad allora.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://media-cloud.bestshopping.com/images/more/mediashopping/big400/5b41b2117e76f7ea7abc2ef441a9a7b2-331175ed72875d8df39f7b980979a30be4821c.png" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 360px; height: 360px;" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In realtà di vicissitudini "strane" me ne sono capitate diverse negli ultimi mesi, tante grandi e piccole situazioni che nel breve periodo si sono intrecciate fra di loro anche quando apparentemente non avevano nulla in relazione, nulla per cui ad un certo punto avrebbero dovuto incrociarsi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Inizialmente il libro è molto interessante, nei primi 10 capitoli, ma per altri 9 capitoli non è che mi sia sembrato molto interessante. Certo porta ad esempio diversi casi di quella che viene anche scientificamente definita come "sincronicità" ma si tratta per lo più di capitoli narrativi di storie anche interessanti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tuttavia così come era iniziato, anche gli ultimi capitoli del libro si fanno molto interessanti ed in effetti, verso la fine, inizi a riflettere su molte cose. Impari a guardare gli avvenimenti della vita quotidiana (ma non solo) come eventi collegati fra loro per fare in modo che tu capisca qualcosa o per darti delle possibilità.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Il problema è che molto spesso noi non ci capiamo niente e non afferriamo le possibiltà. Ci comportiamo esattamente come bambini di pochi anni che fanno i capricci, e come loro vediamo quanto sia difficile accettare quello che non vogliamo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ad ogni buon conto mi permetto di riportare qui un stralcio del libro perchè mi  sembra molto molto interessante e lasciare a voi le vostre opinioni in merito.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Spero solo di non commettere qualche reato sul copyright... beh in fondo è pubblicità al libro :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;b&gt;capitolo 37 - "E' tutto collegato"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Nella teoria del caos c'è una nozione chiamata "effetto farfalla". Significa che in un sistema instabile dinamico, come ad esempio in quello meteorologico, una minuscola interferenza da qualche parte nel sistema può portare a grandi cambiamenti nel sistema nel suo complesso. Teoricamente è possibile che il battito di ali di una farfalla a Rio provochi pioggia a Newcastle. Forse non è molto probabile, ma è certamente possibile (...)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;(...) Succede anche in politica. Nel 2000 Theresa LePore stava lavorando a un progetto speciale a Palm Beach, in Florida. Il suo compito consisteva nel realizzare le schede elettorali che sarebbero state usate nelle elezioni presidenziali che opponevano George W. Bush e Al Gore.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Un piccolo impulso, un'idea dettata da una buona intenzione spinse la signora LePore ad aumentare le dimensioni del carattere. Pensò che delle lettere leggermente più grandi avrebbero reso più facile per gli elettori leggere le schede (...)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;(...) era stato certamente un pensiero gentile e utile, ma Theresa LePore non tenne in considerazione un piccolo dettaglio. Per qualche motivo non si rese conto che l'aumento delle dimensioni del carattere avrebbe portato a un aumento delle dimensioni delle schede. Ciò che prima stava su una pagina dovette essere riscritto: adesso le pagine erano diventate due.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Il risultato delle buone intenzioni fu che 19.120 elettori che avevano intenzione di votare per i Democratici si confusero e votarono sia per Al Gore che per un altro candidato, Pat Buchanan. I loro voti furono perciò invalidati e finirono nel cestino della carta straccia.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ulteriori tremila elettori commisero un altro errore. Erano convinti di aver votat per Al Gore ma in realtà avevano votato per Buchanan per cui anche i loro voti andarono persi. Nel complesso a Palm Beach Al Gore perse più di ventimila voti di elettori che pensavano di aver votato lui.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Se fossero stati conteggiati, probabilmente Al Gore avrebbe sarebbe diventato presidente al posto di George W.

Mi sono accorto che il cammino ti fornisce anche un’ottima resistenza fisica, della quale a volte ti sorprendi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Mi sono addormentato, per modo di dire, verso le 4:30 e mi sono risvegliato alle 7:30.&lt;br /&gt;Ero l’unico sveglio fra tutti i miei amici presenti nell’appartamento. Mi sono velocemente preparato, messo in ordine i bagagli e poi mi sono fermato alcuni minuti ad osservare, in silenzio, gli altri e le stanze dove dormivano, come se volessi fissare quel momento che era l’epilogo di tutto quello che avevo vissuto nei precedenti venti giorni.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Capivo che era la fine di qualcosa, ma anche l’inizio e la ripresa di qualcos’altro. Avevo una mista sensazione di nostalgia, serenità, contentezza e affetto verso quelle persone, verso me e verso l’esperienza che avevo vissuto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Quando vivi certe situazioni mediante gli occhi del cuore, l’immagine che rimane nella mente ha sempre una luce di dolcezza e serenità, anche se un po’ malinconica. È una di quelle fotografie che rimangono nel tuo album mentale e che nessuna foto cartacea potrebbe rendere tanto vivida e viva.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Sono quindi uscito silenziosamente dalla stanza, ci eravamo già salutati la sera prima e non serviva svegliarli nuovamente. La speranza è che il mezzo elettronico possa agevolare il contatto e mantenerlo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Il cammino è quasi terminato: avevo iniziato in modo solitario questa avventura, e nello stesso modo, ora, la stavo portando a termine. Tuttavia avevo ancora un paio di cose da fare prima di prendere il treno e partire.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;E il cammino aveva in serbo per me ancora una “piccola” sorpresa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lgZUSCTHJc8/Tm5wpfN21-I/AAAAAAAAARI/gXWPWCYcnpU/s1600/IMG_3151.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lgZUSCTHJc8/Tm5wpfN21-I/AAAAAAAAARI/gXWPWCYcnpU/s320/IMG_3151.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Alle 8:00 ho fatto visita alla cattedrale che non ero riuscito a visitare il giorno prima. Mentre girovagavo all’interno di questo luogo ho incontrato Morgane assieme alle altre sue due amiche Chloe ed Erica. Le avevo già incontrate nei giorni precedenti mentre erano in compagnia di Josè. Tuttavia gli eventi del cammino avevano fatto in modo di non approfondire la conoscenza, di fatto perdendoci così di vista lungo il cammino. Non ci eravamo sentiti, nemmeno Josè le aveva sentite più da alcuni giorni, ossia da quando si era staccato da loro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Mi chiedo quante possibilità ci siano di incontrare qualcuno con cui avresti voluto approfondire la conoscenza, in un luogo non certo adatto per agli appuntamenti, in un orario come le 8:00 di domenica mattina senza mettersi d’accordo su nulla?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Dopo questo incontro mi sono diretto verso la stazione.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Il treno è arrivato in orario ed ora sono diretto verso Madrid e tutto diventa molto strano. Dopo tanti giorni di cammino e tanti kilometri percorsi a piedi, adesso ne ripercorro molto velocemente quasi altrettanti, comodamente seduto. Tuttavia dopo un po’ di tempo il corpo si abitua al ritmo naturale del camminare e tutto quello che si muove più velocemente&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;ti fa sentire strano.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DTwTbMUX6DY/Tm5w33_igDI/AAAAAAAAARM/ZETNR23rlG8/s1600/IMG_3153.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DTwTbMUX6DY/Tm5w33_igDI/AAAAAAAAARM/ZETNR23rlG8/s320/IMG_3153.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Se tutti facessero il cammino di Santiago penso che molti si renderebbero conto di come in realtà noi stessi abbiamo ritmi e velocità molto diversi da quelli che ci troviamo ad affrontare nella vita quotidiana. Il camminare ed il ritrovare il proprio ritmo credo sia terapeutico e può permettere di ritrovare se stessi. Inoltre ti fa capire che le cose belle della vita sono lì fuori che ti aspettano, devi essere solo libero e rilassato per cogliere ciò che quotidianamente ti arriva, sia sole o pioggia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;In questo momento mi sono ben chiare le parole di una famosa canzone … dont’ worry, be happy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Durante questo rientro verso Madrid vedo scorrere fuori, al di là del finestrino, quelle montagne e quei luoghi che fino a ieri anch’io calpestavo, quella terra su cui ho sudato e che mi è rimasta attaccata agli scarponi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Fa un effetto molto strano vedere passare quelle montagne così velocemente, e ancora più strano è vedere, laggiù, in lontananza alcuni pellegrini in marcia. È un piccolo nodo alla gola.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Già sto pensando a martedì, a quando sarò di nuovo a casa e tutto questo sarà definitivamente completato ed io farò ritorno alla mia vita normale. Così come il cammino mi ha velocemente “sbattuto” nella sua verità, ora, dall’alto, mi sento come risucchiare altrettanto rapidamente e tornare alla mia vita di prima… però ora non riesco più a capire quale sia la realtà: è il cammino oppure quello che mi attende da martedì?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Forse devo cercare di comprendere quello che il mio “nuovo cammino” da martedì mi riserverà per poterlo sfruttare al meglio.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2hXeuGoLpoU/Tm5w-rwnXrI/AAAAAAAAARQ/5u7aC1MuZ1Y/s1600/IMG_3155.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2hXeuGoLpoU/Tm5w-rwnXrI/AAAAAAAAARQ/5u7aC1MuZ1Y/s320/IMG_3155.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Il treno sta per giungere a Madrid, dopo quasi nove ore di viaggio, fra un’ora sarò la e con l’arrivo del treno anche questa avventura è arrivata a destino.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Ho vissuto questi venti giorni al massimo del rapporto personale e di relazione. Di certo posso affermare che, fra tutte, questa è stata la vacanza più diversa,&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;la più faticosa ma anche la più soddisfacente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Piena di sensazioni e sentimenti su di me, sul mondo, sulla vita e sulle persone in tutti i loro aspetti. La vita, Dio e quanto ci è stato donato sono presenti in tutte le cose, in quelle belle e in quelle brutte, in quelle “alte” e in quelle “basse” ed ho capito cosa significa che il difficile è imparare ad amare le cose brutte con lo stesso spirito delle cose belle. Non senza emozioni, ma accettandole entrambe come parte di un’unica cosa nella quale la natura umana è quella che ha tutte le potenzialità per poterne godere.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Penso che il cammino riesca anche a far emergere il meglio ed il buono in ognuno di noi. Ci fa notare quelle componenti negative, tossine cattive che man mano che procediamo nella vita quotidiana ci si appiccicano addosso, fino a farci pensare che siano nostre, che siano un nostro prodotto, che siamo noi così, e invece non è vero.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Ritengo che invece sia la vita moderna che ci spinge a comportamenti contrari alla nostra natura che, nella sua parte fondamentale, è armonica. Uno stile di vita che ci spinge a comprare e buttare, che ci spinge a non condividere con gli altri per paura di rimanerne senza. Spinti e centrati sul nostro individualismo sfrenato non ci accorgiamo che ci sta isolando, ci sta facendo restare da soli per essere unici, miopi e soli con noi stessi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Rientrando a Madrid avevo lo stimolo di salutare tutti quelli che incontravo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Mi sono limitato a dare un sorriso, ma ho scoperto che ognuno è chiuso nel suo mondo, indisponibile ad un incontro con gli altri e questo è, forse, veramente un peccato evangelico: rendersi irreperibili o indisponibili ad un incontro con l’altro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Il viaggio è giunto al termine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;È stato un viaggio che aveva iniziato a prendere vita molto tempo prima di venti giorni fa.

I was the only one awake among the friends in the flat. I quickly get dressed, set my backpack and then stopped some minutes to observe, in silence, the others and the rooms where they were sleeping, as if I wanted to fix that moment, which was the epilogue of everything I lived in the previous days.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;I was understanding that it was the end of something, but also the beginning and the re-start of something else. I’ve got a mixed feeling of nostalgia, serenity, happiness and love towards those people, towards me and the experience I lived.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;When you live such events with the eyes of the heart, the imagine left in your mind has always got a light of sweet and serenity, though a little bit gloomy.

While I was going wandering inside it I met Morgane and her friends Chloe and Erica. I’ve already met them in the previous days while they were with Josè. However the events of the camino worked in a way that we couldn’t deepen the common knowledge, in this way we went out of sight along the camino. We didn’t got in touch, neither Josè heard about them since days, that’s since when he left them.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;I’m wondering how many chances one can have to meet somebody you wanted to know better, in a place for sure not built for meetings, in a time like 8:00 am of a Sunday morning without an agreement?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;After this meeting I went to the train station.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;The train arrived on time and now I’m heading towards Madrid and everything is become more strange.

In the same way the camino slammed me against its truth, now, on the other side, I’m feeling being sucked with the same speed into my previous life… but now I don’t understand which is the reality: is it the camino or what is waiting for me from Tuesday?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Maybe I have to try to understand what my “new camino” from Tuesday is keeping for me so to have a better use of it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2hXeuGoLpoU/Tm5w-rwnXrI/AAAAAAAAARQ/5u7aC1MuZ1Y/s1600/IMG_3155.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2hXeuGoLpoU/Tm5w-rwnXrI/AAAAAAAAARQ/5u7aC1MuZ1Y/s320/IMG_3155.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;The train is reaching Madrid after almost nine hours of travelling, in one hour I’ll be there and with the arrival of the train also this adventure will arrive to its destination. I lived these twenty days at the best of personal and interpersonal relation. For sure I can say that, among all, this was my most different, the most demanding but also the most satisfactory.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Full of sensations and feelings on me, the world, life and on the people in all their aspects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Life, God and everything that was given to us are in all things, in those good and those bad, in those “high” and those “down” and I understood the meaning that the difficult is to learn how to love the bad things with the same spirit of the good ones. Not without emotion, but accepting both as a part of a single thing in which the human nature is the one with the full potentiality to enjoy it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;I think that the camino can push to surface the best and the good of anybody of us. It makes us notice those negative things, bad toxins that, little by little we go on in our daily life, get stuck on us, till when we think that belong to us, that are a product of us, that we are like that, and in reality it’s not true.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;I think that instead is the modern life that pushes us to a behavior contrary to our nature which, in its fundamental part, is harmonic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;A life style that pushes us to buy and throw, that pushes us to not share with the others for the fear of not having enough. Pushed and centered on our uncontrolled individualism we don’t pay attention that we are isolating ourselves, it is making us being alone just to be unique, shortsighted and alone with ourselves.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Coming back to Madrid I had the boost of saying hello to anybody I was crossing with. I limited myself in giving a smile, but I discovered that anybody is closed in his/her own world, unavailable to a meeting with the others and this is, maybe, a real evangelic sin: make oneself untraceable or unavailable for a meeting with the other one.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;The camino is at the end.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;It was a trip that started to take life long time before twenty days ago. As I had occasion to write to Mauro (MDS n.d.r.) the camino, like any other important trip, starts in the moment you desire making it. Now is finished, but for another one I put the seed yet.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5b_EijMpfHk/Tm5xDAv9-pI/AAAAAAAAARU/5saeTNtw4Zo/s1600/coquillebleue.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5b_EijMpfHk/Tm5xDAv9-pI/AAAAAAAAARU/5saeTNtw4Zo/s1600/coquillebleue.jpg" border="0" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Like the trip, also the writing of this diary is getting to an end.

L’arrivo di oggi è stato centellinato sia nei passi che nelle forze. Siamo partiti alle 07:15, io, Josè, Marilena e Stefania, con un tempo davvero pessimo: pioggia, vento e freddo ci hanno accompagnato per quasi tutto il percorso. Tutto quello che non ho preso dall’inizio del mio pellegrinaggio l’ho preso oggi!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Ci siamo detti che certamente in qualsiasi altra situazione nessuno di noi si sarebbe messo in viaggio a piedi sotto questo tempo… ma non nel cammino.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Durante questi giorni ho raccolto non solo esperienze e riflessioni ma anche molte amicizie, e proprio con questi amici sono entrato a Santiago e giunto fin davanti alla cattedrale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Alle 07:30 ci siamo incontrati con fuori dall’Albergue municipal con Pablo, Alba e Marta e poi tutti insieme, ognuno con il suo passo, ci siamo avviati per l’ultimo tratto del cammino. In termini paesaggistici, è stato un pezzo come quello degli ultimi giorni, ma per ognuno di noi aveva un significato particolare… beh per me almeno lo aveva.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Era una sorta di conferma che certe cose, anche se paiono difficili o non alla nostra portata, sono invece fattibilissime. Era una sensazione ed un sentimento che avevo perso e avevo bisogno di ritrovare. Ora lo so.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Anche tecnicamente il cammino è stato come i giorni precedenti, tranne per il vento e la pioggia che non hanno smesso di imperversare per tutta la mattinata, fino al nostro arrivo a Santiago. Tuttavia anche da questa situazione abbiamo saputo cogliere l’aspetto positivo e di divertimento con i nostri “travestimenti” da folletti del bosco &lt;span style="font-family: Wingdings; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;J&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Wingdings; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S-OODLEEX9s/Tmy_HAin7UI/AAAAAAAAAQs/KcLum6qN7n8/s1600/IMG_3129.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S-OODLEEX9s/Tmy_HAin7UI/AAAAAAAAAQs/KcLum6qN7n8/s320/IMG_3129.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Wingdings; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Wingdings; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;L’arrivo al Monte do Gozo è stato non esaltante come le aspettative, in realtà mi attendevo un po’ di più da questo monumento, ma è anche vero che il cammino stava giungendo al termine e che la maggior parte delle cose che doveva dare le aveva date… forse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PIel8h3Yo_A/Tmy_OE0DZaI/AAAAAAAAAQw/NcLaIMpAXLI/s1600/IMG_3130.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PIel8h3Yo_A/Tmy_OE0DZaI/AAAAAAAAAQw/NcLaIMpAXLI/s320/IMG_3130.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Tuttavia l’arrivo insieme ha un sapore particolare, soprattutto se pensi che sei partito da solo, senza alcuna idea o intenzione particolare ma solo con la disponibilità ad essere aperto e disponibile a quello che avrei trovato.

Everything I didn’t get since the beginning of my pilgrimage I got it today.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;We said that for sure in any other circumstances nobody of us would have stepped out and started walking under such weather … but not here in the camino.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;During these days I picked up not only experiences and thoughts but also friendships, and exactly with these friends I entered in Santiago and arrived exactly in front of the cathedral.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;At 07:30 we met outside the Albergue Municipal with Pablo, Alba and Marta and then, altogether, anyone with his/her own step, started our last stretch of the camino. Talking about landscape it was a route like the past days, but for anyone of us it had a peculiar meaning… well at least it had to me.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;It was a kind of reassurance of some things, although they seem difficult and not to within our reach, they are possible indeed. It was a feeling and an emotion that I lost and that I needed to find again.

Ma la partenza con Josè è stata molto divertente perché abbiamo subito iniziato a sparare stupidaggini sui “mini-mochi” e tutto il mondo che gli ruota attorno (abbiamo deciso che faremo una pagina tipo wikipedia per descrivere questa specie atipica di peri-turisti).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ifn4GdwTkTI/TmfQ89i9XYI/AAAAAAAAAQc/YExSpjNvSHU/s1600/IMG_3114.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ifn4GdwTkTI/TmfQ89i9XYI/AAAAAAAAAQc/YExSpjNvSHU/s320/IMG_3114.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Poi durante la pausa della seconda colazione (questa volta un po’ più sostanziosa) ci ha raggiunti anche Pablo e da lì abbiamo proseguito insieme per un bel pezzo. È stato molto divertente ed interessante, dopo ulteriori “cazzate” sui mini mochi (incluso video documentario sulla specie) si è passati ad argomenti più “seri” come la politica e l’economia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Devo dire che mi pare tiri una stessa aria di incazzatura ed indignazione per come stanno andando le cose della politica, sia in Spagna che in Italia, esistono molte similitudini di azioni della politica di questi due paesi che portano poi i cittadini ad essere severamente critici nei confronti dei politici.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Verso metà percorso Pablo ha ingranato la 4° (e la 5°) ed ha iniziato a segnare il passo. Io e Josè lo abbiamo lasciato andare continuando con il nostro passo più “latino”&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;e tranquillo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Così poco dopo abbiamo incontrato sul nostro cammino Stefania e Marilena, &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;un piacevolissimo, inatteso, incontro. Marilena con un ginocchio malconcio, ha comunque deciso di continuare il cammino. A me ha fatto molto piacere poterle accompagnare fino a destinazione, che poi alla fine è diventata la destinazione comune.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Jmj4etg6cXg/TmfRHE-BA7I/AAAAAAAAAQg/jRb_lNC_HOE/s1600/IMG_3121.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Jmj4etg6cXg/TmfRHE-BA7I/AAAAAAAAAQg/jRb_lNC_HOE/s320/IMG_3121.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Si vede proprio che ci tengono a fare questo cammino, più di quanto non lo facciano apparire, e le rispetto molto per questo… chissà, forse il cammino le aiuterà, a modo suo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Il piano era quello di fermarci all’albergue municipal di Santa Irene.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Siccome Marilena andava molto lenta per via del ginocchio, io sono andato in “perlustrazione” per vedere se all’albergue avevano ancora letti liberi. Giunto lì ho visto che ne avevano solo 3 mentre noi eravamo in 4.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Tornato indietro a riferire, decidemmo che si sarebbero fermate solo Marilena e Stefania, tuttavia 50 mt prima di arrivare all’Albergue, ci passa un signore polacco che Marilena e Stefania conoscevano … scatta la rincorsa: Stefania si lancia all’inseguimento per non farsi portare via i posti, ma il tizio, anche un po’ bruscamente, oltrepassa l’uscio della porta prima di lei, si siede all’accettazione e prenota anche un letto per la moglie che sarebbe arrivata di li a poco perché anche lei dolorante. Così dei tre letti liberi, ne rimase uno solo, non sufficiente per nessuno di noi 4.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Anche questo è il cammino, nonostante lo spirito del pellegrino che si possa sviluppare, anche di fronte “all’amicizia” di persone conosciute precedentemente, esce il lato molto terreno ed umano delle persone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Così un po’ zoppicando e un po’ andando a passo normale ci avviavamo verso Pedrouzo. Tuttavia, per evitare di ritrovarci senza un letto, visto la stanchezza e le condizioni di Marilena, grazie ad un volantino trovato lungo il cammino, abbiamo riservato dei letti in un Albergue. Comportamento poco “pellegrino” ma ormai…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Così eccoci qua, a Pedrouzo, con gli altri 3 amici (Pablo, Alba e Marta) che hanno trovato alloggio nella palestra aperta appositamente dal comune, visto l’alto afflusso di pellegrini. Noi alloggiamo in un ostello privato, non caro, e ben tenuto con, ovviamente, l’essenziale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LiLO7rAugII/TmfRPPTEvhI/AAAAAAAAAQk/QdeszWMHGm4/s1600/IMG_3124.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LiLO7rAugII/TmfRPPTEvhI/AAAAAAAAAQk/QdeszWMHGm4/s320/IMG_3124.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Siamo usciti tutti insieme per fare un po’ di festa, bere e mangiare qualcosa in compagnia. Per domani il piano è quello di ritrovarci e partire tutti insieme, andando poi ognuno con il proprio ritmo, arrivare ed entrare a Santiago tutti insieme.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;È davvero una bella idea, mi piace molto. Dopo aver iniziato ognuno il nostro cammino, piano piano le nostre strano si sono unite ed alla fine ci siamo legati con un bellissimo rapporto di amicizia e con questo spirito vogliamo entrare tutti insieme a Santiago.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;

Once there I saw that they had only 3 beds free, while we were in 4.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Went back to report this, we decided that only Marilena and Stefania would have slept there, however 50 mt before reaching the Albergue a Polish guy, that Marilena and Stefania knew, passes us… it starts the chase: Stefania set off in pursuit of the beds, but the guy, also quite sharply, passes the threshold before her, sits at the reception and books a bed also for his wife that would arrive in a couple of minutes because she had some pain too. So the 3 beds free, became just 1, not sufficient for none of the four of us.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Also that is the camino, notwithstanding the spirit of a pilgrim that you can develop, also in front of a “friendship” of people previously known, the “ground” and human spirit of people gets out.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;So a little limping and a little walking normally we headed to Pedrouzo. However, in order to avoid arriving there without a bed, since our tiredome and Marilena’s knee situation, thanks to a leaflet met along the way, we reserved some beds in an Albergue. Not such a “pilgrim behavior” but at this point…&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;So here we are in Pedrouzo, with the other 3 friends (Pablo, Alba and Marta) who found place in the gym that the town opened because of the big amount of pilgrims.

Alcuni di loro vanno in giro con radioline accese a tutto volume, come se anche gli altri volessero ascoltare le loro canzonette del piffero.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Purtroppo a Melide non ho riservato alcun posto dove alloggiare e visto l’enorme quantità di turi-pellegrini è facile che trovi quasi tutto occupato, sento quindi la necessità di affrettare il passo, purtroppo. Non sono attrezzato per dormire all’addiaccio, non ne ho nemmeno voglia a dire il vero, e non credo avrò desiderio di farmi dei km in più rispetto a quanto previsto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Tutto questo mi sta facendo cambiare idea sulla parte del Cammino dopo O’ Cebreiro, tutto troppo turistico, troppo caotico e troppo commerciale. Ma forse è perché siamo ad agosto, tutto il mondo ne approfitta per fare il cammino in questo periodo e quindi si trova anche questa situazione, dove tutto diventa una corsa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9Rac1ghXImc/TmTLRFTGynI/AAAAAAAAAQM/UosbdV8fMsU/s1600/IMG_3104.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9Rac1ghXImc/TmTLRFTGynI/AAAAAAAAAQM/UosbdV8fMsU/s320/IMG_3104.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Non è una critica al Cammino in sé ma al comportamento molto consumistico di alcune persone che, forse perché agosto o forse perché non se ne rendono conto, rovinano l’atmosfera del cammino.

Sarà perché forse oggi, dopo più di 450 km, stavo dolorosamente compiendo una discesa andando piano perché mi dolevano le ginocchia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Improvvisamente mi sorpassa di lato uno di questi turi-pellegrini mini mochilla, con i suoi jeans puliti, le scarpe da ginnastica nuove, il suo&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;mini zainetto, e mi dice “hola, todo bien?” ... volevo rispondergli “coño que si… y tu?” e dargli due calci nel sedere. Quella domanda posta da lui mi ha indisposto…&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;boh forse mi sto facendo condizionare da questa cosa un po’ troppo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Fortunatamente, sin dal primo pomeriggio, la giornata ha preso una piega positiva. &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Josè, assieme a Morgane, la ragazza francese incontrata giorni fa, ha preso un taxi, poiché lei aveva un po’ di problemi alla caviglia e mi hanno aspettato a Melide.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-z3xI-bK3v0U/TmTLdR7pXsI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/98llmsKZRvc/s1600/IMG_3108.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-z3xI-bK3v0U/TmTLdR7pXsI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/98llmsKZRvc/s320/IMG_3108.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Gli ho chiesto allora di riservarmi una camera o un letto ovunque vadano ad alloggiare.

Mi ha fatto molto piacere rivederle,e &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;anche con un po’ di emozione perché non ci eravamo affatto accordati su questo incontro, e anche perché ci eravamo un po’ persi di vista. Ho poi notato che in questi ultimi giorni, sia a Stefania ma soprattutto a Marilena, il Cammino le ha toccate nel profondo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Il tempo è così scorso allegramente parlando del cammino e di altre cose. Sembrano banalità ma, di qualsiasi cosa si parli fra noi “camminanti”, anche se si tratta di piccolezze, sono cose dette con il cuore e con l’anima, dunque preziose e stupende.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Poi Stefania e Marilena sono ripartite, non era loro intenzione fermarsi a Melide ma una tappa più avanti. Siamo rimasti d’accordo che ci saremmo rivisti almeno a Santiago.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Domani inizia la penultima tappa prima dell’arrivo a Santiago, sarà un po’ lunga, circa 29 km così quella di Santiago sarà un po’ più corta, avremo così tempo per visitare la città. Avrei in programma di trascorrere l’ultima notte in Albergo così da sfruttare anche la sera (e dormire bene) e domenica pomeriggio, dopo la S.

Some of them go around with small radios at a full volume, as the others would like to hear they stupid songs.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Unfortunately in Melide I didn’t reserve any place where to stay and considering the huge quantity of turi-pilgrims it’s quite easy to find everything booked, I need to hurry up, unfortunately. I’m not equipped to sleep outside in the open, I don’t even want do it actually, and I don’t think I’ll have the desire to have some kilometers more than what planned.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;All this is making changing my mind about the part&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;of the Camino after O’ Cebreiro, it is all too much touristic, too much chaotic and too much commercial. But maybe it’s because we are in august, the whole world is taking advantage of this period to make the camino and so you find yourself in this situation, where everything is like a run.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;I don’t criticize the Camino but the consumistic behavior of some people who, maybe because we are in august or maybe because they just don’t think about it, are ruining the camino’s mood. Well, as the father of the dutch family told me, also this, is the camino.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Its seems that today I’m really fed up with these turi-pilgrims, the mini mochilla (or mini mocha) as I named them. Perhaps because today, after more than 450 km, I was painfully walking a downhill going very slowly because my knees hurt me. Suddenly one of these turi-pilgrims overpasses me, with his mini backpack, his clean jeans, his new kickers, and tells me “hola, todo bien?” … I wanted to answer: “coño que si… y tu?” and kick him in his bottom. That question, said by him, upset me… well maybe I’m just influenced by this thing a little too much.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9Rac1ghXImc/TmTLRFTGynI/AAAAAAAAAQM/UosbdV8fMsU/s1600/IMG_3104.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9Rac1ghXImc/TmTLRFTGynI/AAAAAAAAAQM/UosbdV8fMsU/s320/IMG_3104.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Luckily, since the first afternoon, the day started to be positive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Josè, arrived together with Morgane, the French girl met some days ago, took a taxi ‘cause she had a problem to her ankle and they were waiting for me in Melide.

It was nice to see them again, and also with some emotion since we didn’t agree on this meeting, and also because we kind of lost of sight each other. Then I noticed that in these last days, both Stefania and Marilena, the camino touched them deeply.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;The time passed so happily talking about the camino and other things. They seem banalities but, anything we could talk about we “walkers”, though it’s about small things, they are said with the heart and the soul, so precious and beautiful. Afterwards Stefania and Marilena left again, it wasn’t their intention to stop in Melide but a town further. We agreed that we should have met at least in Santiago.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Tomorrow starts the one before the last stretch before arriving in Santiago, it will be long, almost 29 km so the one to Santiago it will be a little bit shorter, so we will have time to visit the town. I planned to have the last night in an hotel so to enjoy the evening (and sleep well) and Sunday afternoon, after the Mess, go back to Madrid by train.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;

Forse è per questo motivo che non capisco questi “pijos” con la “mini mochila” (mini zaino) che si fanno trasportare il loro bagaglio da un posto all’altro facendosi la loro passeggiata quotidiana.

Mi ha dato molto tempo da dedicare a me stesso ed alle mie cose, ai miei pensieri. Mi ha dato l’occasione di tornare in me e con me per poter tornare in contatto con gli altri.

Ormai inizio a godermi il paesaggio, la compagnia delle persone con cui cammini e verso la fine della tappa non vedi l’ora di arrivare a destino per una doccia ed un letto dove riposare.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Anche oggi il cammino mi ha regalato una lezione di vita.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Ci sono, infatti, dei “pellegrini” che per varie ragioni iniziano il loro cammino a circa 120km da Santiago, quindi circa da O’ Cebreiro in poi si inizia ad incontrare lungo il cammino molta più gente di quanta vista o incontrata prima. Ora ognuno ha le sue motivazioni per fare questa scelta (anche se per molti mi pare che diventi più una passeggiata per dire poi ad amici e familiari di aver fatto il cammino), quello che invece ritengo sia “scandaloso” è vedere come molti di questi “camminanti dell’ultimo minuto” utilizzino anche di servizi agevolati, come ad esempio il “servizio di trasporto mochilla” offerto da alcuni ai pellegrini.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LMNk1Jwjw78/TmAGDtzOTgI/AAAAAAAAAPs/BEo9lwYWbXU/s1600/IMG_3104.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LMNk1Jwjw78/TmAGDtzOTgI/AAAAAAAAAPs/BEo9lwYWbXU/s320/IMG_3104.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; "&gt;Los Mini Mochi - &lt;a href="http://youtu.be/HBWBYGtxmQQ"&gt;qui&lt;/a&gt; un video esplicativo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Vedi quindi queste persone partire la mattina (tardi, di solito verso le 8:00) con uno zainetto da passeggio (o a volte anche niente) e sgambettare tranquillamente verso la loro meta dove troveranno il loro zaino arrivato senza fatica. Costo del servizio per ogni singolo tratto dai 7€ ai 9€ (se hai soldi, puoi).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Inoltre non soddisfatti di questa agevolazione, molti di questi il giorno prima telefonano e prenotano un letto nei vari Albergue privati (quando questi, in teoria, non dovrebbero accettare la prenotazione telefonica), quindi non solo l’agevolazione dello zaino, ma possono anche svegliarsi tardi e senza pensare se troveranno alloggio o meno, arrivare a destino, trovando tutto già pronto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Mi chiedo se queste persone percepiscano davvero cosa sia lo spirito del pellegrino, se davvero credono di star facendo il cammino. Penso che un pellegrino debba guadagnarsi ogni giorno il riparo arrivandoci con il suo zaino, dentro il quale porta tutto quello che possiede e ne sente, dunque, il peso.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Anche il fatto che una persona, anche se per motivi di salute, non possa portare niente sulle spalle è un po’ una scusa per non portarsi dietro lo zaino. Esistono, le ho viste, varie soluzioni allo zaino sulle spalle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;No, non credo che questi si possano definire pellegrini, ma turisti, che però poi si vogliono magari anche vantare di aver fatto qualcosa di alternativo. Penso che non possano capire il cammino, non almeno come coloro che lo fanno per un bel po’ di giorni, con lo zaino sulle spalle, senza prenotazioni; devo anche dire che forse sono anche una nota negativa sul cammino. Dimostrano che se hai soldi puoi renderti la vita più facile, senza sforzi, ma la domanda è: è davvero sempre così? È davvero sempre necessario rendersi le cose del tutto facili?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;table class="tr-caption-container" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="font-size: medium; padding-top: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; text-align: center; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; "&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bNcuLynWk-0/TmAGOSeMSoI/AAAAAAAAAPw/DNvhdcS-Xdo/s1600/IMG_3093.JPG" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bNcuLynWk-0/TmAGOSeMSoI/AAAAAAAAAPw/DNvhdcS-Xdo/s320/IMG_3093.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 13px; padding-top: 4px; text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;La cena di oggi non è stata facile.

Forse a volte si deve soffrire per capire il significato di qualcosa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Non so perché mi è venuto in mente il passo della genesi dove Adamo ed Eva vengono cacciati dall’Eden a seguito del peccato originale (che sia ben chiaro, non ha niente a che fare con il sesso o la sessualità). Questo mi ha fatto pensare che a volte il sudore e la fatica sono il mezzo per rientrare nella divinità dell’uomo, per rientrare in quell’Eden da cui, in un certo senso, ci siamo cacciati da soli.

Then you start meeting more people along the way, more than what met and seen before. Now, everybody has got his/her own motivation for having this choice (though for many of them it seems it looks like a walk just to say then to friends or family to have done the camino), what, instead, I think it’s “outrageous” is to see how many of these “last minute walkers” are using some facilitation services, like, e.g., “service of backpack transport” offert to the pilgrims.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LMNk1Jwjw78/TmAGDtzOTgI/AAAAAAAAAPs/BEo9lwYWbXU/s1600/IMG_3104.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LMNk1Jwjw78/TmAGDtzOTgI/AAAAAAAAAPs/BEo9lwYWbXU/s320/IMG_3104.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; "&gt;Los Mini Mochi - &lt;a href="http://youtu.be/HBWBYGtxmQQ"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; a video that can explain them&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;You then see these people leaving in the morning (late, usually around 8:00) with their little backpack (or sometimes also nothing) and happily walking towards their arrive where they will find their normal backpack, arrived there without fatigue. The cost of this service, for each stretch, is around 7€ and 9€ (if you’ve got money, you can).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Moreover, not satisfied of this help, many of them have a phone call to book a bad in a private Albergue (when these, in theory, shouldn’t accept reservations), so not only the help for the backpack but they can also wake up late and without thinking if they will find place or no, they arrive at their destination, finding everything ready.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;I ask myself if these people can really feel what is the spirit of the pilgrim, if they really believe to be doing the camino. I think that a pilgrim should gain every single day the shelter arriving with his/her own backpack, with inside everything s/he owns and feeling, then, the weight.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;The fact that a person, for health reasons, couldn’t wear heavy things, it’s just an excuse, there are, and I saw them, different solutions to a backpack.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;No, I don’t think you can consider them pilgrims, but tourists, that maybe are thinking to have done something alternative. I think that they can’t understand the camino, at least not like who are making it since several days, with the backpack on the shoulders, without reservations; I have to say that they are a negative mark on the camino. They just show that if you have money you can have an easy life, without efforts, but the question is: is it really always like that? Is it really always necessary having a full easy life?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;table class="tr-caption-container" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="font-size: medium; padding-top: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; text-align: center; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; "&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bNcuLynWk-0/TmAGOSeMSoI/AAAAAAAAAPw/DNvhdcS-Xdo/s1600/IMG_3093.JPG" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bNcuLynWk-0/TmAGOSeMSoI/AAAAAAAAAPw/DNvhdcS-Xdo/s320/IMG_3093.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 13px; padding-top: 4px; text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Dinner wasn't easy today, hooray for Pablo's lettuce!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Today I’ve got this lesson: that although you have money, if you make your life too easy only because you can afford it, you will never fully understand something that you then vaunt of. To have the possibility to do a thing in an easy way it shouldn’t mean then that you have to make it in that way. Maybe sometimes you have to suffer to understand the meaning of something.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;I don’t know why it came to mind the passage from the Genesis, where Adam and eve are chase away from the Eden thanks to the original sin (just to be clear, it has nothing to do with sex and sexuality). This made me thinking that sometimes the sweat and fatigue are means to go back in the man divinity, to go back in that Eden from where, in a way, we chase away ourselves with our hands. Maybe only working physically and feeling the tiredness we could go back into us.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;This is not to take away value to rest and comfort, on the countrary are making them even more important, but always inside that path of “cathartic fatigue”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Because it’s true that after 25km a day, after having walked for 6 hours or more, notwithstanding the tiredness of the day, the moment when you rest and enjoy it with the people you love or that you met along the way, it’s relaxing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;You’re dead tired, but not stressed.

Il fatto di aver deciso di farla di mattina presto è stata una buona decisione, farla ieri alle 13:00, con il caldo ed il sole che c’erano, mi avrebbe ucciso.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Dopo la salita, il percorso di oggi è proseguito con una lunga discesa che mi ha “vagamente” sfiancato le ginocchia, ma domani la strada dovrebbe essere migliore.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-m1feQr_-_WY/TlzA5iuJSAI/AAAAAAAAAPU/_NjCG2tL6UY/s1600/IMG_3071.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-m1feQr_-_WY/TlzA5iuJSAI/AAAAAAAAAPU/_NjCG2tL6UY/s320/IMG_3071.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Questa mattina ho fatto il primo pezzo da solo poi, giunto a O’ Cebreiro, ho incontrato Josè che è arrivato poco dopo di me. Dopo la mia seconda colazione sono ripartito lasciando Josè che invece se l’è presa con più calma (se mi fermo per più di 15 min. dopo aver iniziato a camminare c’è poi il rischio che non proceda più).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Durante la discesa di oggi ho incontrato due simpatiche ragazze italiane: Stefania e Marilena (e con queste gli italiani incontrati sono 8), entrambe originarie di Foggia. Una però vive da anni a Barcellona mentre l’altra vive a Roma. Con loro ho fatto quasi tutto il tratto restante, è stata una piacevolissima compagnia e domani mattina dovrei incontrarle di nuovo per la tappa verso Barbadelo, vediamo se ci svegliamo con lo stesso orario, come concordato, perché alloggiamo in ostelli diversi; capita che ti metti d’accordo di partire insieme a qualcuno o di vedersi all’arrivo con qualcuno.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dmP3Fg11p9I/TlzBDqwi84I/AAAAAAAAAPY/4QleH6W2oGY/s1600/IMG_3072.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dmP3Fg11p9I/TlzBDqwi84I/AAAAAAAAAPY/4QleH6W2oGY/s320/IMG_3072.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Il pomeriggio l’ho praticamente trascorso tutto al bar, come quasi tutti i “camminanti” giunti fin qui. Non volevo farmi la siesta per non rovinarmi la notte e il paesino l’ho girato veramente in poco tempo, non essendoci nulla di interessante da vedere.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Così, sbracato al bar, ho passato il pomeriggio chiacchierando e facendo un po’ di casino con gli altri pellegrini e compagni di viaggio. Non smetterò mai di stupirmi come il cammino possa creare in pochi giorni uno spirito d’unione e di fratellanza così. Tutti si sentono partecipi della stessa cosa, anche se ognuno l’ha iniziata per un motivo diverso rispetto ad un altro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-miaky6BZynk/TlzBKsdAETI/AAAAAAAAAPc/bC0IsYPZNhk/s1600/IMG_3085.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-miaky6BZynk/TlzBKsdAETI/AAAAAAAAAPc/bC0IsYPZNhk/s320/IMG_3085.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Dopo 15 giorni di cammino vedi e riconosci chi è il camminante di più lunga data rispetto al nuovo. Poi quando ti incontri sembra che ci si conosca da anni, ci si vede e ci si saluta, anche da lontano. C’è la voglia di aspettarsi o andarsi incontro anche solo per una pacca sulla spalla o un abbraccio e chiedere com’è andata.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Di qualcuno ricordo il nome, della maggioranza la nazione di provenienza: l’olandese, i tedeschi … ed ho anche capito che il nome, alla fine, non è così importante, ma ciò che importa è la persona che hai davanti e che con te o come te ha condiviso molti km.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;b&gt;Qualcuno lo rivedrai domani, qualcuno dopo domani, qualcuno mai più, ma il tempo che in questo momento spendi con ognuna di queste persone è magico e stupendo e unico.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Ti sembra di conoscerli da sempre, inizi parlando della tappa fatta quel giorno e di quella che farete il giorno successivo e poi si finisce a parlare della propria vita o del mondo in generale o delle cazzate che dici con i tuoi amici di sempre.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Oggi ho iniziato il pomeriggio seduto al bar con quattro amici del cammino ed ho finito cenando con altri quattro dopo aver chiacchierato e condiviso esperienze di vita con altre persone. Qui ho di nuovo incontrato Stefania e Marilena. Le avevo lasciate verso la fine della tappa odierna, si erano fermate ad un bar a circa 3 km da Triacastela, come al solito io non mi sono fermato, anche perché ho come pensato di essere un po’ di troppo, visto che mi pareva volessero terminare la camminata da sole. Mi ha fatto piacere ritrovarle qui al bar, sono entrambe simpatiche e interessanti.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Lungo il cammino non è poi così importante cosa fai nella vita (sono argomenti utili ad introdurre il discorso) ma chi sei dentro, cosa ti piace, cosa ti fa divertire e cosa non ti piace, diventi importante come persona e non per quello che fai o per come ti vesti (o che macchina hai). Il cammino ti porta al concreto, all’essenziale delle relazioni con le persone. Essenziale come quello che ti porti sulle spalle, nello zaino, non un grammo di più perché pesa ed è inutile.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Ho anche notato che i pellegrini, anche se fisicamente stanchi, sono più propensi ad essere rilassati e ad aprirsi agli altri senza preconcetti, perché si sa che sul percorso siamo tutti uguali, anche se qualcuno arriva prima e qualcun altro dopo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Oggi ho anche avuto l’occasione di parlare finalmente con il papà della famiglia olandese che ho incontrato diverse volte negli ultimi giorni.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;i&gt;La loro storia è davvero fantastica.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sono padre, madre, figlio (11 anni) e figlia (12 anni) e stanno facendo il cammino, come famiglia, da tre anni.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Il primo anno, hanno fatto il tratto Olandese del cammino, 600 km (non sapevo ne esistesse uno Olandese). Il secondo anno, hanno intrapreso il tratto Francese, altri 600 km, arrivando circa fino a Burgos.

Penso che per una famiglia, e specialmente per i bambini, sia un’esperienza unica e stupenda poter vivere assieme questo percorso.

But one has been living in Barcelona for several years while the other is living in Rome. With them I made almost the rest of the route, it was a very nice company and tomorrow morning I should met them again for the stretch to Barbadelo, let’s see if we wake up at the same time, as agreed, because we stay in different hostels; it happens that you agree with somebody to leave together or to meet at the arrival with him/her.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dmP3Fg11p9I/TlzBDqwi84I/AAAAAAAAAPY/4QleH6W2oGY/s1600/IMG_3072.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dmP3Fg11p9I/TlzBDqwi84I/AAAAAAAAAPY/4QleH6W2oGY/s320/IMG_3072.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;I practically spent the whole afternoon at the bar, like almost all “walkers” arrived here. I didn’t want to have a nap in order not to ruin the night sleep, and I went around the small village in a very short time, there was nothing interesting to be seen.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;So, slopping in the bar, I past the afternoon chatting and having fun with the other pilgrims and trip mates. I will never stop surprising myself about how the camino can create, in so few days, a common spirit of union and brotherhood such this.

Here I met again Stefania and Marilena. I left them near today’s end of the route, they stopped in a bar around 3 km from Triacastela, as usual I didn’t stop, also because I felt like being the third wheel, since it seemed me that they wanted to complete the route alone.

The way leads you to the concrete, to the essential of relationships. Essential as what you have on your shoulders, in your backpack, not a gram over because it’s heavy and useless.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;I noticed that pilgrims, though physically tired, are more inclined to be relaxed and open to other people without biases, because you know that on the way we are all the same, even though somebody arrives for first and somebody else arrives later.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Today I also had the chance, eventually, to talk to the father of the family from Holland, which I met several times in the last days.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Their story is amazing.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;It’s a father, a mother, the son (11) and the dauther (12) and they are on the way, as a family, since three years.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;The first year they made the Dutch camino, 600 km (I didn’t know that there was a part of the camino in Holland).

I think that for a family, and especially for the kids, it’s a unique and extraordinary experience having the possibility to live together this way. It’s not for sure a mad thing “making kids walking in this way”. I think, instead, that it’s a great opportunity because an experience like this it rest for life and because, I’m sure, it helps to create a strong family spirit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;One day I would like to have a same chance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: medium; "&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33127509-5805904653881521377?l=ma-ahi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ma-ahi.blogspot.com/feeds/5805904653881521377/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33127509&amp;postID=5805904653881521377' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33127509/posts/default/5805904653881521377'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33127509/posts/default/5805904653881521377'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ma-ahi.blogspot.com/2011/08/camino-de-santiago-010811-giorno-15-day.html' title='Camino de Santiago - 01/08/11 - Giorno 15 / Day 15'/><author><name>Ermanno P</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08869384220476647470</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://www.ermanno.net/images/germany_2002_05.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-m1feQr_-_WY/TlzA5iuJSAI/AAAAAAAAAPU/_NjCG2tL6UY/s72-c/IMG_3071.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33127509.post-7043551481419773048</id><published>2011-08-28T17:44:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-08-28T17:45:43.117+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Camino Santiago 2011'/><title type='text'>Camino de Santiago - 31/07/11 - Giorno 14 / Day 14</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;(english version at the end)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;31 luglio 2011 / Villafranca del Bierzo -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt; A Faba (24 km)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Beh oggi posso dire che è stata davvero dura. Per la prima volta in tutto il cammino ho affrontato un pezzo davvero difficile, almeno per me. Essendo domenica, anche questa volta mi sono concesso trenta minuti in più di sonno questa mattina e quindi non sono partito insieme alla “carovana” di altra gente, abbandonando anche il mio compagno di viaggio Pablo, partito di buon mattino.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Ho rispettato il programma che mi ero prefissato, ed ho fatto bene a rispettarlo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Sono arrivato all’Albergue Municipal di A Faba (gestito da un’associazione giovanile tedesca) alle 12:30 … l’accoglienza era prevista per le 13:30, quindi avevo un po’di tempo per riposare. È un Albergue molto bello, caratteristico e collocato in una zona molto tranquilla e rilassante. Vicino ha una chiesetta (tipica chiesetta di montagna) molto caratteristica. L’Albergue ha, ovviamente, l’essenziale per il pellegrino, ma è ben tenuto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kCNJN1rTPls/Tlph4mChfpI/AAAAAAAAAPI/j9gycCEGgtI/s1600/IMG_3063.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kCNJN1rTPls/Tlph4mChfpI/AAAAAAAAAPI/j9gycCEGgtI/s320/IMG_3063.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;A Faba, come tutta la zona qui intorno, mi ricorda molto la Carnia Friulana ed i monti della mia regione.

Sia per gli argomenti di cui parlano i clienti, sia per le battute sui pellegrini (ovviamente, e tuttavia fatte in buona fede e spirito goliardico), sia per la merce venduta e per le modalità di vendita.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Penso che posti come questo si assomiglino in tutta Europa. L’unica cosa che sicuramente può cambiare è l’orario di apertura, qui in Spagna è notoriamente tutto spostato più avanti, ma per me va molto bene trovare un negozio ancora aperto alle 14:00.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Dopo la sfaticata odierna c’è scappata anche la pennichella pomeridiana, stranamente perché di solito non la faccio qui nel cammino.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eb_nprXmLZc/TlpiMVY89tI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/otKw-6pvYz0/s1600/IMG_3062.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eb_nprXmLZc/TlpiMVY89tI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/otKw-6pvYz0/s320/IMG_3062.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Qui ho trovato anche Josè che è arrivato con altre due ragazze francesi (Chloe e Erica) ed ho scoperto di aver fatto molto bene a fermarmi qui. Josè mi ha raccontato che la terza ragazza francese, a differenza delle altre due, aveva deciso di proseguire per O’ Cebreiro mentre le altre due, fermatesi per riposare un po’, l’avrebbero raggiunta in seguito. Tuttavia Morgane, una volta giunta a O’ Cebreiro, ha trovato tutto occupato, così ha telefonato alle altre due affinchè anche loro non venissero.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Posso solo immaginare la frustrazione uno possa avere che dopo aver fatto 30 km a piedi, di cui 10km in pesante salita, non trova un posto dove dormire (come dopo, Morgane, ha trovato aiuto). Avevo già sentito, nei giorni scorsi, che O’ Cebreiro era rinomata come posto difficile dove trovare posto per alloggiare se si arriva tardi. Infatti questo paesello è un finale di tappa abbastanza comune fra i Pellegrini. Il problema è che non si sa mai quando sia troppo tardi, in questo caso troppo tardi pare fosse già alle 12:30! A volte le voci di corridoio vanno ascoltate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Non so per quale ragione ma l’Albergo dove alloggio oggi mi ricorda la casa di Malborghetto, usata tante volte dal &lt;a href="http://ggpf-gruppogiovanilepassatofuturo.blogspot.com/"&gt;GGPF &lt;/a&gt;per le attività che lì abbiamo svolto come &lt;a href="http://digidownload.libero.it/GGPF/"&gt;Gruppo Giovanile&lt;/a&gt;. Strutturalmente non le assomiglia, ma si respira la stessa aria di ritrovo e vita in comune.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;b&gt;Spesso i luoghi assorbono lo spirito delle persone che ci hanno vissuto, siano esse state esperienze positive o negative&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Qui non si può far altro che leggere e riposare oppure chiacchierare con qualcuno, anche se visto la tappa di domani uno degli argomenti per attaccare bottone non può che essere il Cammino.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Intanto il pomeriggio, dopo il pisolino, l’ho passato andando a fare un giro per il paesello con Josè che mi voleva presentare un suo nuovo “amico”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Si tratta di un altro strano hippie che gestisce insieme alla compagna un Albergue privato, mi pare si chiami “Albergue vegetariano”. Mi ha detto che è davvero un tipo singolare ma che merita essere conosciuto. Mi ha raccontato che gli ha chiesto di dove fosse, e lui gli ha risposto “dall’universo” e Josè: “potresti essere un po’ più preciso?” e lui: “beh si dà il caso che mia madre fosse tedesca e che quindi la mia nascita è capitata in Germania”. Eh eh eh i tipi più strani li trovi nei posti più impensabili, come questo paesino! &lt;span&gt;J&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Purtroppo non ho avuto modo di conoscere questo tipo, quando siamo andati all’Albergue stava andando via per non so quale commissione.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Tuttavia abbiamo passato un po’ di tempo con Chloe ed Erica con le quali Josè ha fatto un po’ di show.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Ma il vero spettacolo è arrivato la sera, all’ora di cena. Io e Josè avevamo già fatto gli acquisti per la nostra “cena”: io, nel mio massimo sforzo propositivo avevo pensato ad un panino con il tonno e un frutto. Josè, più sagace di me, ad un risotto freddo in scatola, già pronto. Poco prima di cena eravamo fuori, nel giardino del Albergue, seduti vicino alla chiesetta e vediamo arrivare il ragazzo coreano che avevo già incontrato a El Burgo Ranero e poi di sfuggita alcune volte successive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Ne avevo già parlato a Josè di questo ragazzo perché mi aveva colpito, non solo per il fatto che venisse dalla Corea per fare il cammino (provate ad immaginare voi di andare in Corea non-so-dove a fare il cammino di non-so-cosa) ma anche perché viaggiava con un passo molto agevole e con uno zaino decisamente ridotto per un “camminante”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Tuttavia quel giorno, non so per quale motivo, era arrivato abbastanza tardi, verso le 17:00, si vedeva che aveva camminato molto ma non perdeva il suo brio, la sua compostezza e un sorriso che faceva invidia sapendo la fatica che aveva fatto. Poco dopo questo ragazzo arrivarono un padre con il figlio, erano due scozzesi visti qualche giorno prima, anch’essi di sfuggita. Loro, invece, avevano dipinto sul volto la fatica e lo sforzo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Dopodiché li abbiamo persi di vista, tutti e tre. Non so cosa sia successo o come si siano accordati, sta di fatto che ci siamo ritrovati con il ragazzo coreano che si era offerto di cucinare la cena anche per i due scozzesi, li aveva invitati a cena. Ora usate un po’ di immaginazione. Io e Josè seduti al tavolo della mensa, in fondo alla sala, e davanti a noi la cucina il ragazzo coreano intento a tagliare, sminuzzare e cuocere una sorta di “pasta wok” con dentro non so cosa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Io e Josè lo guardavamo stupiti!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Mentre io addentavo il mio misero panino al tonno e Josè degustava il suo triste riso freddo in scatola, ci siamo guardati in faccia, poi abbiamo guardato il ragazzo coreano che con una mano muoveva la padella con la pasta, con l’altra ripuliva il tagliere e poi non so come puliva anche la parte di cucina mentre la pasta cuoceva. “&lt;i&gt;È una macchina&lt;/i&gt;” ha esclamato Josè, “&lt;i&gt;quello e quelli come lui ci mettono tutti nel sacco…&lt;/i&gt;” ho aggiunto io “&lt;i&gt;… e con il sorriso sulle labbra ci legano e, senza che ce ne accorgiamo, ci buttano&lt;/i&gt;”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Non eravamo gli unici a bocca aperta. Il padre ed il ragazzo scozzese lo stavano guardando esterrefatti, non potevano credere ai loro occhi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Io e Josè non avevamo finito la nostra ricchissima cena che il ragazzo coreano aveva già pronta la sua, apparecchiato la tavola, pulito la cucina e servito i due scozzesi!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;“&lt;i&gt;El tìo es una maquina …&lt;/i&gt;” continuava a ripetere Josè, io, invece, lo osservavo incredulo perché sapevo la fatica che costa la camminata, soprattutto quella odierna e anche quanta fatica costa poi prepararsi la cena, figuriamoci cucinare per tre e tutto il resto!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Così con questo colpo al nostro ego, quasi come fosse una profezia sul futuro prossimo del nostro mondo occidentale, abbiamo terminato la cena e siamo tornati fuori a meditare.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;La custode dell’ostello mi ha detto che sarà un po’ dura fino a O’ Cebreiro, con 5 km di ottima salita, ma per fortuna su una strada non accidentata o con pietre come quelle di oggi e che poi ci dovrebbe essere una discesa lunga ma non ripida fino a Triacastela, speriamo bene… soprattutto per le mie ginocchia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13px; "&gt;(english version)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;31th July 2011 / Villafranca del Bierzo -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt; A Faba (24 km)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Well today I can say it was really hard.

Josè told me that the third French girl (Morgane), differently than the other two, wanted to go on till O’ Cebreiro while the other two wanted to stop for resting and then they would have reached her. However Morgane, once in O’ Cebreiro, found everything full, so called the other two mates in order to tell them not to come up.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;I can only imagine the frustration one can have that after having done 30 km on foot, 10 km of them in a hard uphill, is not finding a place where to sleep (however afterwards Morgane found help). I’ve already heard, in the past days, that O’ Cebreiro was famous as a difficult place where to find place if you arrive in delay. In fact this little village is an end of route quite common among pilgrims. The problem is that you never know when it’s too late, and in this case it seems that too late was yet at 12:30! Sometimes you have to listen to “corridor rumors”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;I don’t know why but the Albergue where I’m staying reminds me a lot the house in Malborghetto used several times by &lt;a href="http://ggpf-gruppogiovanilepassatofuturo.blogspot.com/"&gt;GGPF&lt;/a&gt; for its activities as a &lt;a href="http://digidownload.libero.it/GGPF/"&gt;Youth Association&lt;/a&gt;.

It’s another funny hippie owner, with his wife, of a private Albergue, I think it’s called “Albergue vegetariano”. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;He told me that he’s really a peculiar guy but it deserves to meet him.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Josè told me that he asked him where he was coming from, and that he answered: “from the universe” and Josè: “could you be a little more precise?” and him: “well it happens that my mother was German and so that I born in Germany”. Eh eh eh you meet the most strange people in the most improbable places, like this little village! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span&gt;J&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Unfortunately I didn’t have the occasion to meet this guy, when we went to the Albergue he was going out for an angagement. However we spent some time with Chloe and Erica with who Josè had some show.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;But the real show arrived in the evening, dinner time. Me and Josè had already bought our “dinner”: me, in the best of my active efforts I thought for a tuna sandwich and a fruit. Josè, smarter than me, of a ready rice in a can. Right before dinner we were sitting outside, in the Albergue garden, near the church and we saw arriving the Korean guy that I already met in El Burgo Ranero and some other times afterwards.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;I already told Josè about this guy because impressed me not only the fact that he was coming from Korea for the camino (try to imagine that you go in Korea I-don’t-know-where to have the camino of I-don’t-know-what) but also because he was walking with an easy step and with a backpack really small for a “walker”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;However that day, I don’t know why, he arrived quite late, around 17:00, you could see that he walked&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;a lot but he didn’t lost his verve, his composure and a smile that I envy knowing the effort he had done. Right after him arrived also a father with his son, they were Scottish and I saw them some days earlier, briefly. They, on the contrary, had painted in their faces the fatigue and the effort.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;After this we lost all of them. I don’t know what happened or how they agreed, however we found that the Korean guy offered to cook dinner for the two Scottish, he invited them for dinner.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Now try to use your imagination. Me and Josè sitting at the table of the canteen, at the end of the room and we had in front of us the kitchen and the Korean guy deep in his own work of cutting, smashing and cooking a kind of “pasta wok” with inside I don’t know what.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Me and Josè were staring at him astonished! While I was biting my poor tuna sandwich and Josè was tasting his sad cold-rice in the can, we saw in each other’s faces, then we saw the Korean guy that with one hand was moving the pan with the pasta, with the other was cleaning the cutting board and then I don’t know how we was also cleaning the kitchen while the pasta was cooking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;“&lt;i&gt;he’s a machine&lt;/i&gt;” broke out Josè, “&lt;i&gt;that buddy and those like him will put all of us in a bag…&lt;/i&gt;” I added “&lt;i&gt;… and with a smile on the face they tie us and, without we can notice it, they throw us away&lt;/i&gt;”. We weren’t the only one with open mouth. The Scottish father and son were looking at him dumbstruck, they couldn’t believe to their eyes. Me and Josè didn’t finish yet our rich dinner that the Korean guy had ready his one, he had also set the table, cleaned the kitchen and served the two Scottish!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;

margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;So, with this attack to our ego, almost like a prophecy on the next future of our western world, we finished our dinner and went out to meditate on this.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;

Nella stanza dell’ostello c’era molto caldo. La finestra era aperta ma la porta chiusa a causa delle due inquiline che io e Pablo ci siamo ritrovate in camera. Inoltre sono stato l’unico di tutta la camera ad essere stato fisicamente aggredito dalle zanzare. Lividi e bubboni su tutto il corpo, mentre gli altri tre coinquilini niente! Ponferrada è sicuramente una tappa da dimenticare (e cancellare dal mio prossimo cammino).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;Nel tratto di oggi mi sono trattenuto, per tutto il tempo, con Pablo. Parlando di diversi argomenti siamo capitati a parlare di Aikido e delle arti marziali che pratico. Pablo si è dimostrato interessato a quest’arte e tanto che avrebbe voluto iniziare un corso. Ho quindi iniziato la mia opera di diffusione ed informazione, parlando in generale dell’Aikido, come anche del Karate, e poi concentrandomi di più sul primo, visto l’interesse dimostrato da Pablo. Devo averlo sommerso di parole, se parto con un argomento che mi sta a cuore rischio di strafare… forse ha detto che avrebbe cercato una palestra solo per calmarmi &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;J&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1F9B_LKZN8c/Tlemfcb_BgI/AAAAAAAAAO8/kYLKGA2WSmw/s1600/IMG_3050.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1F9B_LKZN8c/Tlemfcb_BgI/AAAAAAAAAO8/kYLKGA2WSmw/s320/IMG_3050.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;Arrivati a Villafranca del Bierzo abbiamo gironzolato un po’ ma siamo riusciti a trovare l’ostello che ci era stato indicato a Ponferrada (tramite un volantino): il posto è molto bello, pulito ed economico, si chiama la Roca ed è costruito tutto intorno ad una grande roccia di montagna, molto caratteristico.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;Proprio mentre io e Pablo ci recavamo a mangiare qualcosa in centro, abbiamo incontrato un esausto Josè che vagava per il paese alla ricerca dell’albergo.

In quella piazza c’era praticamente il 60% delle attività commerciali del luogo, ristoranti, bar, negozi ecc. Dopo esserci ben rifocillati e riposati siamo andati a vedere la famosa spiaggia di Villafranca.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1aj6onY3sZ0/Tlemp4RgimI/AAAAAAAAAPA/i6zBLhfPQZs/s1600/IMG_3052.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1aj6onY3sZ0/Tlemp4RgimI/AAAAAAAAAPA/i6zBLhfPQZs/s320/IMG_3052.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;Il paese ha infatti la simpatica caratteristica di avere una piccola spiaggia in riva al fiume. Praticamente tutti, sia quelli del paese come quelli dei paesi limitrofi che, ovviamente, i pellegrini, la usano come una spiaggia di mare. Lì praticamente c’erano tutti i pellegrini arrivati in giornata a Villafranca, così anche noi ci siamo sbragati sulla fantastica erba, chi al sole, chi all’ombra degli alberi, chi invece a mollo nell’acqua fresca del fiume.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;Nel complesso è stata una piacevole giornata di riposto, con un pomeriggio “godereccio”, ma una terribile scoperta mi attendeva. Oggi, infatti, ho scoperto che anziché essere in anticipo sulla tabella di marcia, sono terribilmente “in orario”. Questo significa che potrei arrivare a Santiago il 7 agosto (domenica) mattina, con tempi troppo stretti per poter visitare la città, vedere la cattedrale e prendere il treno già nel pomeriggio. Ho quindi dovuto riformulare tutto il percorso inserendo circa 5 km in più ogni giorno (il che equivale a camminare 1 ora in più). Speriamo di riuscire a tenere questi tempi, così dovrei arrivare a Santiago sabato 6 ed avere tutta la sera e tutta la mattina successiva per visitare Santiago.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Cm_8yuuCVSU/TlemxXdFoDI/AAAAAAAAAPE/pDikmbiNJ1A/s1600/IMG_3053.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Cm_8yuuCVSU/TlemxXdFoDI/AAAAAAAAAPE/pDikmbiNJ1A/s320/IMG_3053.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;Questa sera ho avuto una interessante discussione con Jose sul mondo del lavoro. Ultimamente mi pare di essere l’unico disoccupato fra tutti i pellegrini del cammino. Oggi ho pensato un po’ a questa cosa del lavoro e che devo essere un po’ pazzo ad essere qui “in vacanza” pur non avendo un lavoro (e nemmeno buone prospettive al mio rientro). Tuttavia è anche vero che se avessi un lavoro, adesso non sarei qui, ed essere qui mi piace, dunque per il momento tutto bene… per il momento.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;Ora andiamo a dormire che la tappa di domani prevede più 5km.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13px; "&gt;(english version)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;b&gt;30th July 2011 – Ponferrada &lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span&gt;à&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Villafranca del Bierzo (22 km)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Today’s stretch, notwithstanding the few kilometers, wasn’t so easy also because yesterday night I didn’t sleep so well. In the hostel’s room it was so hot. The windows was opened but the door closed, because of the two other lodgers that me and Pablo found in our room. Moreover I was the only one, in the whole room, that was assaulted by mosquitoes. Bruises and stings all over the body, while the other three lodgers nothing! Ponferrada is for sure a stretch to forget (and to clear for the next camino).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;During today’s route I walked together with Pablo, for the whole way. We talked about several things and we arrived to talk about Aikido and about the martial arts I practice. Pablo seemed to be interested in this art so that he would have wanted to start a course. Then I started my work of diffusion and information, talking generally about Aikido, as about Karate, till concentrating the focus on the first, since Pablo showed more interest in it. I probably overwhelmed him with words, if I start with a topic I love, I risk to exaggerate… maybe he just agreed in finding a course to calm me down &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span&gt;J&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1F9B_LKZN8c/Tlemfcb_BgI/AAAAAAAAAO8/kYLKGA2WSmw/s1600/IMG_3050.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1F9B_LKZN8c/Tlemfcb_BgI/AAAAAAAAAO8/kYLKGA2WSmw/s320/IMG_3050.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Arrived in Villafranca del Bierzo we walked a while before finding the hostel that was suggested in Ponferrada (through a leaflet): the place is very nice, clean and cheap, it’s called “La Roca” and it’s built all around a mountain rock, characteristic.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Exactly while me and Pablo were going to eat something in downtown, we met an exhausted Josè roaming around the town in the search of our hostel. We already told him via sms how to reach the place. The guy was terminated! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Then we went all together to have a drink in a bar in the main square, and then, in the same place, we stayed for lunch. In that square there was the 60% of the business activities of the town, restaurants, bar, shops, etc. After a good lunch and some rest, we went&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;to see the famous beach of Villafranca. The town has got the nice feature to have a small beach beside the river. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;Pratically everybody, people from the town, or towns around, and, obviously pilgrims, used it like a sea beach. There you could find all the pilgrims arrived that day in Villafranca, so we “slopped” down on that fantastic grass, somebody under the sun, somebody under the three’s shadow, and somebody in the fresh water of the river.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1aj6onY3sZ0/Tlemp4RgimI/AAAAAAAAAPA/i6zBLhfPQZs/s1600/IMG_3052.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1aj6onY3sZ0/Tlemp4RgimI/AAAAAAAAAPA/i6zBLhfPQZs/s320/IMG_3052.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;On the whole it was a pleasant day of rest, with an enjoyable afternoon, but a terrible discovery was waiting for me. Today, in fact, I discovered that instead of being on time on my walking schedule, I’m terribly “on time”. This means that I could arrive in Santiago the 7&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; August (Sunday) in the morning, but the time is too little to give me time to visit the town, the cathedral and then took the train in the afternoon. I had then to recalculate all my future routes inserting 5 km more each day (that means 1 hour per day of extra walk).I hope to be able to keep these rhythm, in this way I could arrive in Santiago Saturday 6, with all the evening and the morning after to visit Santiago.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Cm_8yuuCVSU/TlemxXdFoDI/AAAAAAAAAPE/pDikmbiNJ1A/s1600/IMG_3053.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Cm_8yuuCVSU/TlemxXdFoDI/AAAAAAAAAPE/pDikmbiNJ1A/s320/IMG_3053.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;This evening I had a nice talk with Jose about the world of work. In the last period it seems to me that I’m the only one, among the pilgrims, to be jobless. Today I thought a little bit about thing of the job, and that I should be a little bit crazy to be &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;here “in vacation” though I don’t have a job (and not even good chances when coming back home). However it’s also true that if I’d have a job, now I won’t be here, and I like being here, so for the moment it’s all fine… for the moment.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Now let’s go sleeping that tomorrow’s stretch count 5 km more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33127509-2780429481359075528?l=ma-ahi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ma-ahi.blogspot.com/feeds/2780429481359075528/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33127509&amp;postID=2780429481359075528' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33127509/posts/default/2780429481359075528'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33127509/posts/default/2780429481359075528'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ma-ahi.blogspot.com/2011/08/camino-de-santiago-300711-giorno-13-day.html' title='Camino de Santiago - 30/07/11 - Giorno 13 / Day 13'/><author><name>Ermanno P</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08869384220476647470</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://www.ermanno.net/images/germany_2002_05.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1F9B_LKZN8c/Tlemfcb_BgI/AAAAAAAAAO8/kYLKGA2WSmw/s72-c/IMG_3050.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33127509.post-8035782356634843339</id><published>2011-08-25T00:19:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-08-25T00:28:31.529+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Camino Santiago 2011'/><title type='text'>Camino de Santiago - 29/07/11 - Giorno 12 / Day 12</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;(english version at the end)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13px; " &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;29 luglio 2011 – Foncebadòn &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;à&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Ponferrada (27 km)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;La tappa di oggi è stata decisamente dura (e pensare che prima di arrivare ad O Cebreiro ne ho ancora un paio così!). Forse mi conviene ricalcolare ancora le tappe, magari mettendo uno stop in più visto che comunque, teoricamente, sono a buon punto su quanto programmato (forse riesco ad andare anche fino a Finisterre… in autobus ovviamente! Non ho altri tre giorni a disposizione).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5XwDyfKp35w/TlV3g_YWChI/AAAAAAAAAOs/KxGExcpjcu4/s1600/IMG_3020.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5XwDyfKp35w/TlV3g_YWChI/AAAAAAAAAOs/KxGExcpjcu4/s320/IMG_3020.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;È stata dura perché il percorso è stato pieno di saliscendi, ripidi ed in un terreno con pietre e molto scosceso, insomma non il meglio per le mie ginocchia. Preferivo la meseta: un bel tavolato, pieno di grano giallo su uno splendido cielo azzurro. La montagna è bella solo se ti riposi in un bell’Albergue, ma per camminarci non penso di avere le gambe da capretta di montagna.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GNx2N-XlPO0/TlV3sEBUh5I/AAAAAAAAAOw/3_VurHM3-WY/s1600/IMG_3038.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GNx2N-XlPO0/TlV3sEBUh5I/AAAAAAAAAOw/3_VurHM3-WY/s320/IMG_3038.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Oggi mi sono svegliato alle 06:00, per vedere un’alba che meritava veramente la pena essere vista.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JOe7bTfphJE/TlV227ZixDI/AAAAAAAAAOg/wo_02MBZMhc/s1600/IMG_2994.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JOe7bTfphJE/TlV227ZixDI/AAAAAAAAAOg/wo_02MBZMhc/s320/IMG_2994.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Ho raggiunto Ponferrada alle 14:00, fuori tempo massimo rispetto al programma… ma ci sta anche questo. Arrivati alle porte di Ponferrada il cammino ha preso una “allungatoia” di ben 3 km! Ci hanno fatto fare il giro attorno alle pendici del colle dove sorge la città. Siamo passati per un paio di sobborghi nei quali nessuno ci sarebbe passato (e dove non c’era proprio niente da vedere). Seguendo invece la normale strada (anche se con automobili) avremmo fatto molta strada in meno.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Questo già mi fa percepire questa città con una luce negativa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Durante questo percorso ho imparato ad apprezzare i piccoli paesi piuttosto che le grandi città caotiche dove, nonostante passi il cammino (ed i turisti), fondamentalmente se ne fregano di te. Almeno nei paesini, dopo una tappa, ti senti un po’ benvenuto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Tappa lunga e dura e poche energie per pensare, ma forse è anche meglio così, anche pensare costa fatica. Dovevo, infatti, fare attenzione ad ogni passo che facevo. Ero concentrato in ogni momento a mettere il piede nel modo corretto evitando di scivolare o cadere.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JTzlALHd_9Y/TlV3WDXtX8I/AAAAAAAAAOo/cYsmis9H3WE/s1600/IMG_3034.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JTzlALHd_9Y/TlV3WDXtX8I/AAAAAAAAAOo/cYsmis9H3WE/s320/IMG_3034.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Le tappe degli ultimi quattro giorni le ho fatte incontrando Pablo e facendo tratti più o meno lunghi con lui. Spesso ci vedevamo ad inizio o fine tappa, ma rivedere una faccia conosciuta con cui parlare del cammino e non solo è confortante. Oggi ho anche rivisto Josè… arrivato stremato a Ponferrada, lo si leggeva in faccia. Infatti sia io che Pablo ci siamo chiesti come potesse fare quel tratto con i piedi che si trovava... ci vuol coraggio.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TRfIW9zEfm0/TlV34HoNGkI/AAAAAAAAAO0/nZASSJ7Yx6s/s1600/IMG_3021.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TRfIW9zEfm0/TlV34HoNGkI/AAAAAAAAAO0/nZASSJ7Yx6s/s320/IMG_3021.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Ieri, invece, a Foncebadòn, ho conosciuto una simpatica ragazza olandese (la sua attività pare sia “pedagogia musicale” … troppo complicato da spiegare, anche perché non ho mica capito molto bene). Tuttavia oggi forse si sarebbe fermata ad una tappa prima della mia…&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;se il cammino vorrà ci si rivede.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;La serata, invece, è terminata molto bene. Ho incontrato tre nuove persone, con cui ho cenato assieme a Pablo. Si chiamano Alba, Marta e Rodrigo. Persone molto simpatiche e cordiali. Ho passato una bellissima serata con loro. Ho scoperto che Alba, ad esempio, ha fatto un erasmus in Italia (ma non ricordo dove) e, come Marta, vive a Barcellona. La cena è stata gentilmente preparata da Pablo… uno spagnolo che cucina la pasta ad un italiano… per fortuna che c’ha messo un po’ di chorizo per rendere la cosa più spagnola &lt;span&gt;J&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;table class="tr-caption-container" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="font-size: medium; padding-top: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; text-align: center; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; "&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0zvYy4Ui0uw/TlV4AcBEsBI/AAAAAAAAAO4/ySuJKJTV0lY/s1600/IMG_3049.JPG" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0zvYy4Ui0uw/TlV4AcBEsBI/AAAAAAAAAO4/ySuJKJTV0lY/s320/IMG_3049.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 13px; padding-top: 4px; text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Pablo el tìo detras la camera&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Come dicevo all’inizio, oggi pochi pensieri ma uno fisso che mi tornava di tanto in tanto lungo il cammino, soprattutto verso la fine:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;b&gt;la serenità è gratuita, ma costa fatica raggiungerla.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13px; " &gt;(english version)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13px; " &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Day 12 – 29th July 2011 – Foncebadòn &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span&gt;à&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt; Ponferrada (27 km)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;Today’s stretch was definitely hard (think that before O Cebreiro I have another couple like this!).

Arrived nearly Ponferrada the camino took an “extend-way” of well 3 km! They made us walking around the base of the hill where stands Ponferrada. We passed through some suburbs where anybody would have passed (and where there was nothing worth to be seen). Instead following the normal street (though in company of the cars) we would have had less to walk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;This already make me seen this town with a negative view.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" &gt;During this period I learnt to love villages or really small towns instead of big an chaotic towns where, notwithstanding the camino is passing (and tourists too), basically people don’t care you.

Lì dove mi trovavo ho avuto la netta percezione che lì non c’ero solo io ma anche tutto il resto… ho percepito tutto quello che mi circondava.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CmGrV5-EwxE/TlLMofOcZlI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/a7TZrCeNLYE/s1600/IMG_3006.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CmGrV5-EwxE/TlLMofOcZlI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/a7TZrCeNLYE/s320/IMG_3006.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Questo mi ha permesso di fare anche un’altra considerazione: è importante non solo raggiungere il proprio ritmo, ma anche riuscire ad essere “non curanti” o “dimenticare” il ritmo degli altri. Raggiungere il proprio ritmo e sbattersi …. Ehm fregarsene completamente di quello degli altri.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Tuttavia quando dicono “fregarsene” lo intendo in un modo non presuntuoso. Molto spesso si dice “me ne sbatto…” di questo e di quello, ma è quasi sempre un modo presuntuoso, dove è il nostro ego a guidarci e che ci spinge a porci in questo modo arrogante, solo per sentirci superiori a qualcosa o a qualcuno. Non è quello che intendo io, anzi proprio il contrario!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Quello che voglio dire è che il cammino, oltre al ritmo/passo ti insegna “fregartene” degli altri, è che se uno è più veloce non lo invidi per questo e se uno è più lento, impari a non vantarti di averlo superato, perché tanto non vinci niente. Così impari a tenere il tuo ritmo ed a fregartene di quello altrui… è il tuo ritmo, sei tu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Penso che questo sia un elemento importante anche quando si tratta di relazioni interpersonali: uno dei due sarà quasi sempre un po’ più veloce o un po’ più lento dell’altro, ma se è cosciente di questo imparerà a rallentare un po’ (o ad accelerare un po’) solo per il piacere di stare con l’altra persona. Oppure impara a separarsi, per il breve tratto del percorso concordato, e ad aspettare l’altro poco prima o subito dopo l’arrivo per poi condividere insieme quanto vissuto nella tappa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Penso che questo valga non solo per l’amicizia ma anche nel rapporto di coppia. Rallentare o aspettare a fine tappa è qualcosa che fai perché lo desideri, perché ti fa piacere (e non perché devi).

Achieve one’s rhythm and to not give a damn of the other’s rhythms.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;However when I say “to not give a damn” I mean not in an arrogant way. Very often you say “I don’t give a damn…” of it and of that, but it’s often in a arrogant way, where our ego is leading us and that pushes us to be in such an arrogant way, only to feel that we are superior to something or somebody. It’s not what I mean, actually it’s right the opposite!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;What I mean is that the camino, other than the rhythm/step teaches you “to not give a damn” of the others, if somebody is faster than what you are, you won’t envy him/her for this and if somebody is slower than you, you learn not to boast about having overpassed him/her, because, at the end, you won’t win anything.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;So&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;you learn to keep your rhythm and to not give a damn to the other people’s rhythm… it’s your own rhythm, it’s you.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;I think that this is an important element also when we are talking about interpersonal relationships: one of the two will be almost always a little bit faster or a little bit slower than the other, but if s/he is aware of this thing, s/he will learn to slow down a bit (or to speed up a bit) only for the pleasure to stay with another person.

Poco prima del casolare il cartello “Bienvenidos en el Paraiso” e, fatti pochi passi, trovi davanti al casolare, a ridosso della “strada”, un carretto tipo quello dei gelati. Sul carretto frutta, acqua e thermos per prepararsi un rinfresco ed un cartello “free service” ma nessun prezzo. Il cartello diceva che si poteva prendere, di quel che c’era, quel che si voleva.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Pablo allora ha preso un’arancia ed ha chiesto “&lt;i&gt;… e per questa quanto ti devo&lt;/i&gt;”. Risposta del nostro amico hippie: “&lt;i&gt;… quello che vuoi, il dovere è del sistema!&lt;/i&gt;” &lt;span style="font-family: Wingdings; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;J&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Wingdings; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="separator" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; clear: both; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;a imageanchor="1" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7BxKSAYSnBo/Tk_0XXEF0EI/AAAAAAAAANs/IwBfN7GerxQ/s1600/IMG_2961.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7BxKSAYSnBo/Tk_0XXEF0EI/AAAAAAAAANs/IwBfN7GerxQ/s320/IMG_2961.JPG" border="0" width="320" height="240" style="cursor: move; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Wingdings; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Wingdings; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Divertente e interessante risposta, soprattutto per la situazione in cui è avvenuta. Immaginate di trovarvi nel mezzo del niente, che abitate in una baracca, dove l’unica vostra fonte di sostentamento (parrebbe) sia quel carretto con sopra poche cose. Ora, però, anche immaginate che per chi ha percorso molti chilometri sotto il sole, quello che c’è su quel carretto è prezioso, vuoi perché si ha fame o perché l’acqua è terminata. E di quanto c’è potete prendere quanto volete e pagare, se volete pagare, quanto credete. Si crea una situazione che, io penso, nella nostra società moderna si può risolvere solo in un modo: con il “furto”. Cioè succede che o ruba chi ti offre i beni (perché c’è scarsità e quindi se ne approfitta) oppure ruba chi ha bisogno dei beni (pagandoli poco o non pagandoli perché libero di dare quello che vuole).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Penso che persone come questo hippie non le capirò mai a fondo e certo non sono in grado di sposare la loro causa, ma sono dei tipi simpatici e, in un certo senso, li ammiro per la loro “indipendenza”… certo non dev’essere facile… o forse si?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Tornando alla frase “The good speed is your speed” mi è piaciuta molto e la si può comprendere appieno solo facendo il cammino, credo. Comprenderla anche in relazione alla vita ed alle cose che si fanno e alle scelte. Ognuno ha il suo passo e puoi accelerarlo per un po’ o per una tappa ma non per tutto il cammino, non senza romperti e farti male. Però sempre di velocità si tratta e quindi anche il non muoversi o farlo troppo lentamente rispetto alle proprie potenzialità non va bene.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Penso che quello che il cammino insegni è che tutti possono farcela, che la strada è quella, che alcuni di quelli che ti superano li incontrerai comunque all’arrivo, da lì a qualche ora. Che lo stesso vale anche per quelli che tu superi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Non capisco per quale motivo nella nostra società gira la sensazione che solo alcuni possono farcela. Che solo se tieni un certo ritmo o un certo passo sei uno che può farcela. Allora vieni spinto a fare di tutto pur di tenere quel passo, anche a barare, contro di te e contro gli altri.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Bari fino a diventare una persona diversa da quello che sei. Fino a non riconoscerti più. Fino a non capire qual è il tuo vero passo, quale e dove sia il tuo vero centro e se sia il tuo o quello della società che ti circonda che così ti ha detto che dev’essere.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Qui ho capito che tutti noi siamo in grado di farcela. Che se qualcuno dice il contrario , dicendo che per essere uno che ce la può fare devi possedere certi criteri, beh credo siano questi ultimi a sbagliarsi. Ma forse lo sanno… mentre noi no.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Tutti noi abbiamo le caratteristiche per riuscire in quello che più ci è nostro, riuscire a fare il nostro cammino con dignità.

Da Astorga a Rabanal del Cammino sono solo 20 km ma molti di questi sono in salita, penso proprio che non andrò oltre. Da domani, per le prossime quattro tappe, fino a O’ Cebreiro, sembra saranno le più dure, così almeno dicono le solite voci di corridoio incontrollabili; staremo a vedere.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Oggi, arrivato nell’ostello con Pablo, ci ha accolto il sig.

Pablo gli ha detto di avere dolori ad una gamba, ma a lui ha effettuato un trattamento “miracoloso” tipo Reiki.

Quattro volontari dell’università di medicina curavano i piedi, le vesciche ed ogni altro genere di malanno di quei viandanti bisognosi di aiuto. Un aiuto professionale, preciso e gratuito. Per tutti, compreso il sottoscritto, è stata una manna dal cielo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; "&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Nel pomeriggio sono andato a fare spese con il Pablo, io ho comprato un bastoncino telescopico per camminare… non so, ho come avuto un flash pensando che da domani mi potesse essere utile.
