Life is pain, highness

Anyone who says differently is selling something.

I had that quote and that scene stuck in my head for hours today as I paid dearly for yesterday’s hubris. Every step hurt. Every lifting of every step hurt. I hobbled to the point that I hurt my right knee. I have again serious doubts that I can finish this.

But I did it anyway. We finished in Sobrado dos Monxes. Similar to Mondoñedo. There are more pilgrims here and more sense of knowing people. I like that side of it more than anticipated and can see why people would love the Frances. Maybe one day when I have time.

When we arrived I took down my dressings to make sure that the crucifying pain was not a sign of infection. It’s not. I just have a new worse blister. Levelling up.
