Finding Lost Luggage in Lugo

The Camino doesn´t let one ´rest´ for long!

Struggling a bit to stay put when there is so much to explore specially when you are within the Roman walls of a pedestrianised city. They have got their priority right here! My room looks right at the back of the roman wall.

I got feverish again last night. I think I have been for a the last few days each night but did not check, so I stayed put and watched Spanish TV till I could go to sleep. They dub all programmes here, no wonder there is so little comprehension of what it means when people do not speak your language. I am able to utter in my Spanish-ish that I don´t speak any, but that seems to have little effect as most people start a full and fast conversation of which I sometimes manage to get a bit of meaning. It is always well-meant and kind, wish I was a bit more fluent, but I understand the concept that people are just genuinly nice here. I manage to reply at times in a mix of Spanitianofranco-ishnesh, if you get what I mean. If you don´t you are probably not alone, hopefully you will be just as kind as the locals and just pretend anyway.

Anyway back to my little room behind the roman wall.

It seems to be the right place to be stranded. Very comfy and modern in an old house, a nice little sanctuary where processing can happen, and it is happening alright. Again dreams signal what is wanting attention in my emotional body. There is quite a bit in store a few days worth I recon. On the emotional and physical plane I am right in the healing flow/eddy I think. Who am I to doubt? ´Mea Culpa´ but I still do at times. The weather turned poorly and coolish for the next while so no need to feel I am missing out on walking in the rain.

I am learning that walking is not essential to be doing a Camino; I think I got the idea by now. Yet I would love to do more walking if I can as it is so wonderful. For the time being I will stay 3 more nights here for now before I make any long-distance walking moves at all. I will have to change hotel but that will be it. I will move tomorrow from inside the old city to outside the roman walls to the new city, less than a block away. Will be interesting to see what that shift will bring.

The Romans had a spa here and there seems to be a contemporary one next to the historical one. I am going to check that out next as an act of being kind to myself, a practice that is a challenge for me still. A practice that needs practice right now so it seems.
