Palas de Rei

Today sucked. Poured buckets of rain all day. I mean torrential rain. Everything is soaked. We were exhausted. Shivering cold, wrinkled hands from the rain. Shoes that squished out water with every step, but no blisters (thank you amazing toe socks!). Ohh and I got into a fight at the laundromat with a guy who jumped ahead in line. Told him I’d pray for his sorry ass in Santiago. That this isn’t the spirit of the Camino. That he had a lot to learn. More to the story, but I am too exhausted to get into it. Didn’t take any photos today in fear my phone would be ruined in the driving ass rain, so this is all I have, taken outside the laundromat with ONE WORKING DRYER. No wonder WW3 almost broke out. I almost needed bail money.
I’m so done, not sure I’ll make it 3 more days. Hope the weather app is right and we wake up to no rain. Otherwise this chick is going to be talking to Jesus in the morning. Peace out. Happy I’m not in jail after speaking some really bad broken Spanish in the laundromat, however my clothes are dry, I have been fed, I’m in a warm bed, and I’m so done with the selfishness I have seen the last few days. It’s really too bad. In hindsight, had I left after week 4, I would’ve come back home happy. Going home in a few days I am going to run to my husband wrap my legs around him and never let him go. I’m also going to tell him to always remind how awful the last 100km of this walk is.
I want my kids, husband, dog, family, and friends more than ever right now. Scotty, beam me up. 😞❤️Read more
