Call the Cops


Just a quick up date of whats going on this end. First of all the pilgrimage to Santigo is going really well. Have lots of time to reflect and just spend toime thinking about things that just need a little time. Its hard when the days are filled and rushed and you have to be here there and every were. Here you just have to walk 25k a day. i think as me and Em adapte to the walking way this process will happen more. To day hit a long strech of straigth road and it just hipnotized me rather than bored me.

Two things i like to share. First of every were we go there having a festia. We have seen bull running, marching bands, kids walking around in mulity colored overalls (dont know why) and the fire work display that had pepole in our hostel ducking under the bed.

The next thing is as we walk we follow yellow arrows. I walk a bit faster then Em so if i get ahead i wait in the shade. The other day after a long wait i re traced my tracks seeing were Em has got to. She was no wer to be seen. So i headed of to the town we were aiming for. Em had took a sligthly diffrent (wrong) route in to town. We were both worried as know its 3-4 hour since we saw each other. Em had gone in to a Info place and they called all the hostles and Police. so i rock up to a hostel and every one seem to know me and in the process Em found me. then the place we stayed at the vicar refered to me by name the whole time. One thing about this funny story is it also ha dmany sobrering sides. Alougth this happens a lot the info guys took it serisouly and got the police involed and they were worried as the daily ligth was comming to the end, it just brougth home how serious this can be we haveheard stories of pepole beging found dead on route. Someone left a Hostle early the other day in the dark and fell down a ditch now has grazzed knees and black eyes.

It all end well for us and things are great. See what the fiture holds.
