Problem upgrade

Chris Howard is always stresses that everyone in every walk of life has problems and a financially successful life doesn't mean that you will not have problems.What you want to aim for is top quality problems; to be constantly upgrading the quality of your problems. E.g. if you are at the stage where you have the problem of whether to buy food or have electricity next week, then choosing which car to buy would represent a problem upgrade.

So now that I am in Santiago I have the problem of what to do with the next week prior to the course beginning in Portugal. Simon and Deb saying come and stay in a gorgeous apartment in Monaco with us, Beatrice and Jessica saying come to the Costa del Sol and stay with us, me tossing up between finding a quiet beach and lying low for a week, and carrying on walking to Finisterre.

I was truly getting a bit stressed about it until I thought, shit, I have had a massive problem upgrade here. Out of four delicous one week holiday options I can only choose one!

Despite my comings and goings and some of you thinking I might be doing one or the other, I just want to say that I have decided to carry on to the end of the earth. Yes I am walking to Finisterre as you read this.

I have drafted some more posts about Santiago and am waiting to find a card reader to upload photos to and I will of course take some more photos as I walk. But for now.... if you want.... feel free to follow me to the ends of the earth.

I expect that I have another week or so of blogging this Camino before I wrap it up. I will make sure I advise when the last post is done.

Meantime here is the link to the route
