Through the whole of Spain on foot - Part 3

THE WAY OF ST JAMES: THE ROAD AS A TEST OF THE SOUL AND BODY (continued, part 3) Way of St. James, if all the increases - small physical or mental pain can be significantly exacerbated if a whole day just to go on and on. There is a lot of time to think, that in itself becomes a test of which the strength can be compared with the physical, in fact have to go, and every evening to stay in the smelly, often cold and crowded hotels. And the companions come across different, sometimes they please, and sometimes - just drives you crazy. Importantly - pay attention to their inner spiritual status, and try not to react to the negative signs and the road again, dear, dear ... The prose of life, hike, and signs on the road from the very beginning of the campaign, it became clear that not every night we can sleep peacefully. Our first encounter with a typical shelter (many beds in one big room) has happened in the town Ronseval, the Spanish side of the Pyrenees. It was the first and last time we heard people snore ... loudly ... especially when there are four dozen people! This group grew, and snort at the peak of deafening noise was interrupted for 30 seconds. Not surprisingly, the earplugs are very popular among pilgrims. One of the girls that came along with us, trying to wait until everyone else asleep, and then to fall asleep by herself. The fact that she was crying, very loudly, shouting in his sleep. In general, the route of St. James Way to go pretty easy. Numerous signs in the form of shells or yellow "flechas" (original arrow) was easy enough to notice. After a while you begin to quickly find those signs, wherever they were: high on a wall, on the road, or in small columns. Some very enterprising residents create a "false trail" to the travelers came to him in a pub or restaurant, but such tricks are not really lengthen the route, and thanks for that ... And yet - after one day, we got wet and cold, we were lucky enough to buy a small chaynichek in Pamplona. This simple purchase has allowed us to fill the bottle with hot water, which we used on the route for heating, and drinking hot drinks cold evenings. Great! Maker particularly rescued when we got to the shelter without any amenities, common in this time of year as in November, many hotels are closed, and most of those that work - municipal institutions, such as sports halls or town halls. Have you ever ever sleep in the hall of mirrors uveshennom for aerobics? It's very uncomfortable and strange, just a horror story. Village Home types of material: Read more:
