finally meet the blister. 28 km from Sarikiegi

6:30 Without fail, the dawn begins and the road begins. Fortunately, I have a companion. Hyun-sung and Jun-hyung walked well because they were friends who just came out of the military service and traveled. He is strong and kind, so he follows me as his brother and listens to the story well. When I meet my younger friends, I make it habitually. It's stupid, but let's be a little less stupid.

You don't always stick around when you walk. Sometimes I want to have time alone, so I start differently. We meet again at lunch and eat together. Eating alone is still awkward and lonely, but young friends take good care of it. It is comfortable because it is a companion without restraint. Relationships with people are often difficult. I look back on what are my expectations for the other person. I get hurt when I don't do it like my heart, but I have more problems with myself who think so rather than the other's problems. I have to practice taking care of myself more than others, but I'm also not good at it. So I study again.

It's cold in the morning, but it's good to walk. The fresh air and dawn refresh the mood. Walking 28km, it's hard every minute, but the end is harder. Now I count only 3 days left and give up. I feel like I became a recruit while living in the military. The troops were dragged by others, but as I paid for the pilgrimage, I was counting the dates as if I was discharged, and a bloody smile came out. Yes, I decide to walk as if today is the last and the first. Then it turns out that day by day has passed differently. Even the same steps are different. I am living day by day like this. We are living in this moment, not facing the end.

On the first day, most of the accommodation is in the same place. If it is difficult to cross the Pyrenees, they may stay at the lodge before crossing the mountain, but the moment they cross the mountain range, they sleep in a monastery. From next time, the villages you stay in will change according to your own pace. I haven't seen a friend who came on a pilgrimage route while working on a working visa in France. A lot of people keep meeting and once we break up, we can't see it after that. Just as there is separation when we meet, we just pray for a good walk when we remember that person while walking.

I arrived in Pamplona in the morning. It's a pretty big city, so there are many shops, but it's closed. Mart also has fixed business hours. I am curious to see if I have the will to do business, but the owner is rather relaxed. So, the customer also goes on time. Of course, the situation is different if you go to a large city in Spain, but the business hours are shorter in the countryside and the situation is similar even in a fairly large city. Maybe this is more efficient.

It's a city with many parks, a place with nice trees in every street, and it's lunch time, so people come out for a walk and say hello to strangers. Up~~ Buen Camino. Living in the countryside, I look strangely when I say hello to people walking in front of my house. After that, I was embarrassed and I couldn't sleep. In Korea, where it has become a greeted greeting to ask about whether or not you have eaten, it is getting tougher. It's embarrassing, but I should say hello first. Hello~ It is a very pleasant word anytime you hear it.

After passing Pamplona, ​​a wider wheat field and rape blossoms spread out. However, the hot afternoon sunlight slows the pace. Asphalt and cement or stone roads make the soles of the feet difficult and then tingling. At the moment, it came slowly. blister! My pace slows down, and every time I take one step, my sensation rises, and I just walk while thinking of taking another step. As I walked waiting for the pain to get used to, I arrived at Sarikiegi. Quiet countryside, there aren't many people in the hostel. When you arrive at your accommodation, you start doing things that have now become routine. Shower and laundry. Particularly, the feeling of hanging clean hand-washed clothes is the feeling of achieving everything in the world. When I think I'm done with my work, I organize my day, write a travel journal, read a book, or take a break.

The empty bed is where the pilgrims begin to settle. On the first day, I greeted me because I was mistaken for being Korean, but a woman named Yoo Yu-hwa, who is from Taiwan energetically, stayed in the same accommodation today. Seeing the limp coming, it seems that the blister was also caught. Thank you for treating her with the medicine she brought. I have come to this far place alone, so I have great courage. My mother even gave me a whistle to use it as an emergency. After meeting many times, we became close and we talked a lot about having dinner together. The French road is the most famous of the pilgrimage routes, and it is said that 1,000 people come a day during the peak season. Of course, it's a long way, so I often walk alone, but sometimes I feel too crowded. They often get good inspiration and sometimes hurt. Meeting with her is good because there is no burden. The two young Korean friends have already become close together as an older sister. Maybe if you go around like this, you won't need a whistle.

Hyunsung and Junhyung follow me on the road at dawn. Even if we start together, we walk alone, then we meet again, we walk together, and then we walk alone again.

Sometimes you have to walk by the side of the road.

Uphill and downhill repetition-the charm of walking.

We will also meet many crosses in the future. Crosses of similar but different shapes

The town begins to appear.

How old is this bridge?

There are no people in town. ㅎㅎ It's hot, so it doesn't come out well during the day.

Isn't it like a jungle forest?

There are many wooden chairs on the French road. Take a rest comfortably.

River, stone walls and simple island-like gardens

It's not a fraction. Why was the picture taken like this? hehe

I am envious of the large vacant lot in front of the building.

Hyunseong's backpack looks heavy. The park in the city center is good.

Rapeseed flowers bloomed beautifully. It is good luck to meet in spring.

There are still many roads left. Walk slowly step by step.

I go through several villages and take a break.

My companion, Junhyung, starts getting hot in the afternoon.

Your eyes are strong, so your walk is lighter.

Each stone has a wish, but a photo contains a lot of stories.

Dinner at Bar, Menu del Dia

Sarikiegi Village-It is a small town, but it is tasteful.
