Larrasoana Spain Day 5

I think today is day 5 walking if it isn't then look it up. I don't have time for such matters  I'm too busy jumping over, and walking through cow, horse, sheep, and dog poop. I'll bet there's some monkey and yack poop on my boots as well. Good Lord I have walked through some poop. It  is all over the camino.

I walked well over 20 km today but unfortunately it was only 15 km in the right direction. I left my hotel this morning and walked 35 minutes before I realized that I left my batons (walking poles) at the hotel. That loud cursing you heard at about 3am was me. I am not well but better. But I have to progress so I only walked to Larrasoana today which is about 16 km closer to Santiago. Let's see, I only have 10 million more miles to walk and at my current rate should be Christmas 2099. But, I am doing what I decided to do when I was 22 years old. If you can top that then bring your butt on over here. The walking isn't so bad if you don't mind climbing every dern mountain and hill in Spain carrying the equivalent of a 6 year old child on your back while climbing every stupid mountain in Spain.

I love my walking poles and my boots.  However, I at some point will set fire to me backpack along with the fully grown monkey that is riding in it. That backpack is asking for it and buddy I'm going to give it.

With God's mercy and blind pilgrim's luck I should be in Pamplona tomorrow. Of course I can't guarantee the backpack will make it.  I plan to stay another full day in Pamplona to recouperate, site see, and find a place to set fire to the backpack and monkey. I really do need the rest due to this "bug".  I'll bet setting fire to backpack will do me the most good.

I will try to post pictures soon. Seems all I get done is walking, eating,showering, stepping in poop, or trying to arrange the fore-mentioned thing or at least all but the last thing.  Oh if you need to find me in person you can fly to Spain, get a car, and drive to the last place I was three days ago. Believe  me it would take you an hour by car what took me three stupid days to haul that stupid monkey up and down and up and down evey stupid mountain in northern Spain and lower France  Dude let me tell you right after the monkey and backpack get what is coming to them then the editor interface for this blog is deadmeat.

I am going to walk slowly tomorrow too in between soaking my clothes with sweat. It ain't easy walking the camino but don't try it being sick.

Happy bday Dwight. Good night sweetie I love you and really miss you. I know if you were here you would help me carry that dern heavy backpack with that God forsaken monkey in it. xxoo.

 P.S. I almost forgot, Waguih, as part of your preparation you should find a 10 story building and walk up to the top25 times a day until you get here. Of course carrying a monkey on your back is optional. If you  walk up all those stairs each day then your pain level in Spain will merely be totally intolerable.
