Day Ten

So after leaving Burgos and arriving in Leon this morning, I made the decision to not have Ego in needing to do the entire Camino or fail but rather embrace the plan to go to Sarria and complete the last 75 miles with Pete. The train was late leaving Leon which meant I would miss my connection to Sarria, The folks at the train station took pity on me and asked the folks in Montforte To hold the train until i arrived to make the train to Sarria and they did!!! I then fell asleep on the train to Sarria and one of the gentleman came and not only woke me up but also helped me put Pete on my back. As I left the train Station in search of a hotel I saw a shooting star... And I knew I had made the right decision. Although Baby feels better today having had a break I expect the next five days to be somewhat difficult. I have made the decision to be content with the miles I did/will complete (230+) and not be disappointed and not being able to do all 33 days in the 20 I had expected. This has certainly been extremely humbling but I know that I want Baby to still be a happy knee able to support me when I return to Colorado and my health is more important than my ego. Tomorrow starts the last 5 to 6 days to Sarria and I am still truly grateful for the experience.
