[QUOTE="Mananath, post: 1053290, member: 102272"] Today got off to a rough start. I walked out of Sarria and really wasn't prepared for the amount of new people on the Camino. I suspect I walked by at least 400 people today. In the previous few days I was seeing a dozen or so pilgrims. I spent most of the morning being really annoyed. I was stingy with my "buen Caminos". I found myself being really resentful of everyone with their new packs, new energy etc crowding the path, singing, praying and taking up all the tables at various bars. I started walking faster and during my first hour walked a mile more than my normal pace. I began calculating how I could knock this last section out in 2 days etc. By lunch I realized that my attitude and pace was not sustainable. And while I can't do anything about the hoards of people I can adjust my attitude. So I have been working on that. And will stick to my plan to arrive in Santiago on the 2nd. I think what I find most annoying is that the new people don't realize what they are missing out on by starting now. Thinking back I have found the meditative state that comes from doing the same thing day in and day out to be most rewarding. And I don't think you can obtain that in 100km. Also, Galicia smells haha. All the cow poop is making me nauseous! [/QUOTE]
