My Very Own World

Day 11

貝洛拉多-Ages

Belorado to Ages

29kms

The same old walking.
還是一走再走

不曉得是習慣了，還是怎樣，今天走的很順利，中午就到了，中間還經過兩旁俱是佈滿青翠松林的道路，林中某空曠的場地，剛好是絕佳的休憩地點，路經的朝聖者，

一一受不了松樹清香的誘惑，各自找有陰影處休息一會，暫時避開近午逐漸灼熱的陽光。
I didn't know if it's because I was getting used to the daily walking.I felt it's pretty smooth today.I arrived in Ages before noon.
On the way to Ages,I passed by a mountanous trail accompanying green pine trees on the both sides.It was absolutely fantastic.

To some point of the trail,I came to an broad and open ground,where was a perfect location for pilgrims to take a break.

The natural fragrance of the pine tress soaked in my nostrils

making me totally relaxed in the shades that I was hiding from boisterous sun near at noon time.

只有中間一段，往上後又往上、再往上，有點令我驚恐，還好不久就下來了。

認識的人愈多了，我真懷疑我名字會不會忘記，到時就出糗了，哈哈哈。

I was kind of being intimidated by a short ascending slop in the middle of today's route.Luckily,it went down before long.
More people exchanged names with me.
To be honest,I might forget some of their names.If this happened,I would be embarrassed to hell,hahaha.

這個村莊很寂靜，附近勉強找到一個羅馬時代建造的小石橋，好安靜啊，一切很是西班牙鄉間，非常。
我很想給這段旅程一個目的，只是我要的事情很簡單，但是世間卻不可能有任一神靈能有能耐賜與，所以我在人生很早很早的時候，早就停止許願。
The village was so peaceful,so quiet.I had only got to find a small stone bridge built in Roman Times.
Everything was so quiet.Everything here about Spanish country was so truly,very.
I did love to give this journey a meaningful purpose,when I thought of the common question that people used to ask,"Why do you come?"
However,even if what I really wanted was simple and straight,but there would be no any spirit in this world ,who could fulfill my wishes.

Thus,I have stopped praying and making wishes a long long time ago.

Day 12
Ages-布哥斯
Ages to Burgos
24 kms

 Challenges step into a new phase.
 挑戰進入全新局面。
有陽光的地方，人的體感很熱，但是陰涼的地方，待不到3分鐘，氣溫急劇下降變很冷，歐洲天氣常常這樣的。
It is warm and hot in the places where sunlight can reach,but it would be sharply cold in the shades in 3 minutes.
European weather is very common like this way.

我開始習慣一大早就出發，通常是天都還是一遍漆黑（早上6點多了耶！！星星都不走）。
我會走個1到1個半小時，太陽才剛會出來，出來前都很冷。
但我的問題是一遍漆黑很難找到扇貝指標，常常感到害怕走錯路，結果還是都跟著比較聰明，會認路的人走，

所以真不知道那麼一大早出發要幹嘛，哈哈哈。（有啦，可以多躲太陽1、2小時）。
I was used to setting off in the very early morning now,when sky was still pitch dark（at 5, or 6:00,or 7 am,when stars still could be seen!).
I would walk 1 or 1.5 hours before sun rises.Then,it's cold.But it's hot as sun came out.
So I needed a coat before sun rised.
However,my problem was that I was very easily scared to walk in the dark all by omy own.
Sometimes,I couldn't fine the seashell marks.So in the end,I'd got to find other smarter walking pals to lead on,hahaha.(Then,what's the point to wake up so early?if I couldn't see a thing myself.)

西班牙人民看見我們會打招呼,"Buen Camino".我們通過各自身影也會互相打招呼打氣（Buen Camino)，商店的人或老板也對我們很好。
所以你瞧，我正走在大家的和善裡，那是因為人們知道，辛苦走過他們城鎮的我們，背後代表的意義，也是基於上天對我們的慈愛。
Spanish people greeted us,whenever them saw us walking by(Buen Camino),and we greeted each other(Buen Camino) as well ,

whenever we passed by each other.The store owners also were kind to us.
So you see,I was walking under everybody's kindness,which was because people here knew,they knew the meaning behind our hard walking,

when passing by their towns or cities.It's all because of the love for God.

在第2週結束前，我每日距離常常會超出30公里，我必需小心了。
遠方的最宏偉，最華麗的地標-布哥斯大教堂，漸漸地進入眼簾...
終於到了，耶~
但是我的腳好像開始燒起來一樣，我記得今天應該是20.3公里呀?結果是24公里，總算在布哥斯市中心，等下去逛一下，
不過我想大家都知道西班牙不到下午2點，店面是不開的...

Before the 2nd week was over,my daily distance started to excess 30 kms.I must be careful.
Here came the most magnificent landmark,Cathedral of Burgos.
It was zooming in...

Finally arrived,ah~~~,my feet started to burn now.I remembered it's only 20.3kms,but I now had found it's 24 kms.
But Burgos is a big city,and I am in its center now.
I'd like to tour around later,it's just I think everybody knew that Spanishes don't open stores in 2 pm,right.
There's no store to serve at this moment.Well~~.

布哥斯好大，這類城市都給我一種複雜的感覺，因為西班牙大城市通常外圍有大的公園包住，
通常我人是到了，但是還要走個1、2公里才能到庇護所，所以總是心情放鬆了，可是身體還必需走動才算真正可以休息。
慘~手機快沒電了，大教堂不知道還有電可以拍照留念嗎?
Burgos is a huge city,however,I usually have a intricate sense to this type of towns.
Because larger towns in Spain usually are surrounded by a huge park,and I needed to go further by 1 or 2 more kilometers to reach my albergue.

So my problem was,here I was,but my body was not able truly to rest.
Jeez~, my mobile was running out of power.I was so worry that I didn't have time to recharge the battery and might not be able to take as many photos as I wanted.

Day 13
布哥斯-翁塔納斯
Burgos to Hontanas
32 kms

離開青年旅館，先到隔壁巴士總站裡面的快餐館喝杯咖啡，一時也不知道往哪裡去，等下再問個人好了，腦袋分不清東南西北的，遇到有朝聖者改坐巴士到下幾站去，

我覺得好好喔~，可惜我的個性不會這樣放過自己，想起今天滿遠的，還是趁早走吧。
Time to move on,I went to the Bus Station of Burgos that was in the next door of my hostel after checked out.I ordered a hot cup of coffee from the cafe shop in the station,

waiting for my brain to get clear from blurry chaos caused by getting up too early.
I saw some pilgrims also in the cafe shop waiting for their bus to come to the next stop,which I was so envied that they could do that.

But I couldn't do that,for I didn't consider my personality as easy.
Then I thought of today's distance.I'd better set off soon.

漸漸走離布哥斯昏黃燈光下的街道，我出生於大都市，對大城市總是有無可言喻的依賴，看樣子又不能多混一些時候，又往荒野去了。
早上的晨光幻化成炫麗的光影，真是衷心感謝上天賜福，有美景可每天欣賞，不然也沒幹甚麼，就一直走，想著四周也沒人，唱唱歌吧，因為一直在走路，想起U2的 Walk on滿應景的，唱了一會就停了，安安靜靜的走路似乎也滿好的。
I was leaving Burgos.My figure shadow was pulled long on the ground of its streets paved in the yellow street light.
I was born in city,I have the unaccountable reason of the depending feeling against cities.
Time pressed on,it seemed I couldn't linger a bit longer.I walked towards,once again,to the wildness...

The morning light was so amazingly beautiful,showing different colors in circles.I thanked God's kindness for giving me a pretty scene everyday to appreciate,

othewise,all I did was just to walk.
I kept on walking,and there's no one around.I felt like singing.One of U2's hits,"Walk On" reminded me of this moment.
So,I sang for a while,then I stopped.
I thought it was also pretty nice to stay quiet.

我的媽~，32公里，前進翁塔納斯，正式進入西班牙卡斯蒂利亞-萊昂布爾戈斯省，我想趁腳還沒發作前多走一些路。
每次快到目的地時，村莊遠遠就可以看到，遠遠是還有多遠啊?通常都還有3、4公里遠，景色是漂亮，可是我腳痛死了，

愈靠近就愈多人，是啊，終於到了，又過了狼狽的一天。
My Goodness,today has 32 kms,I was heading to Hontanas.I was officially entering Castillo-Leon.I'd rather go far at the moment,before my feet started to give me an ache.
I could see the village from afar,thinking I was about to arrive.But how far was there still?
Actually it was 3 or 4 kilometers away,ever since I had firstly laid eyes on it. 
The view was truly beautiful,but my feet were killing me.
There were more and more people walking together now,which was also a sign that I was very near the village.
Yes,finally,here I was.Another hard day was over.

西班牙可樂價錢對從台灣來的我不便宜，我還是照灌，總不能一直灌啤酒，等下還沒到聖城，就先變酒鬼!
The price of Coke in Spain was not cheap to me,compared to Taiwan's pricing,but I didnt' care much.
I needed something to qrench my thirst.I couldn't keep on pouring beer int my guts,could I?
I might become a wino before reaching to the holy city.

Day 14
翁塔納斯-Formista
Hontanas to Formista
33.1 kms

起床了，整理了行李，店門外一片黃色的燈光，燈光外是一片漆黑，辨明了道路，硬著頭皮走了，沁涼的晨風直透皮膚裡，這時的歐洲快接近冬天了。
Got up ,got the packing done,and then I checked out the hostel.The yellow street light illuminated the facade of the hostel,but it was all pictch dark out of the lighted area.I composed myself a little ,got my direction right,and then headed forward into the darkness.
The morning breeze was cold making my skin freshly cold too.It was drawing near the end of Fall,winter seasons in Europe were coming.

走到了一片羅馬時期建造的教堂廢墟，矗立在黑暗中的龐然巨大身影，散發著神祕的氣息，有著山中精靈魍魎會突然跑出來一般，天上微光初露，又有柏油路可走，景色還是這麼美，若不是現代馬路在眼前，我會以為時光倒流到中古時代，忽然，我覺得好幸福，因為我有幸可以來走這一趟。
Passing through a ruin that was built in Roman times,I was kind of being mesmerized by its huge profile in the dark.

It was leaking the mystery and dangerous atmosphere like some fairies or leprechauns hidden inside.

Sky was getting bright now.I'd got to walk on asphalt roads again.The scene was still stunningly beautiful.
I would think of being in middle ages,and I was traveling back in time,if only not for the modern transporting roads in sight.
I felt so well-being all of a sudden,for being able to have this journey.

下午過後，眼見就快到了，順著人工渠道走，有水有草的地方，心情還不錯，
沒想到走到腳痛還沒到，怎麼這麼長!
啊!終於可以過河了，過個河就...天~還很遠，我有腳傷，走不快，到了庇護所後，都已經下午2點多了，陽光正炙熱，外面倒是沒幾隻貓，大家都跑去午休惹。
It was the time that passed noon.Today's destination seemed to be not far ahead.I followed the banks by the artificial canal,felt loosen while treading on meadow,

and heard the water murmuring,which kept my mood in good place.
However,I kept on walking for not knowing how long,it just seemed never end,and my feet were in pain.
Ah!I got to cross the canal,the town was in sight.
My feet were wounded so I couldn't walk fast.My God,it was still very far ahead.
Finally,I reached to the albergue at the time it passed 2 pm.
The sun was fierce at this time.I could found only few people outdoors.
Obviously,every one went to siesta.

Day 15

Formista-卡里翁德洛斯孔德斯
Formista to Carrion de los Condes
18.9 kms

今天不用走太遠，稍微晚點出發，不過起霧了...
Today I had a short trip ahead,so I set off a little bit late than usual.But it started to fog...

我覺得滿好的，不然西班牙的蒼蠅又要攻擊我，不知道為什麼這麼多蒼蠅，後來有一位本來在任教的老師，辭掉工作跑去跟大兒子做外燴工作的美國人告訴我，

(對啦!我在路上閒來沒事，就不知道為什麼大家會喜歡說一些自己的八卦，我也沒辦法，哈哈。)，前一年西班牙用雞屎當肥料，導致生態改變。
I felt very nice to have a cool misty morning,for flies wouldn't come to attack me in this weather.I didn't know why there were so many flies in Spain.But,later on,

I met an American teacher,who left her teaching post to work for her oldest son's catering job

(Yeah~it's kinda like that.We,pilgrims got nothing to do basically,so we would gossip our own stories to others.Haha.),

told me,that it was because they used chicken poo as a material in fertilizers here in Spain in the previous year.And then,it changed to affect the ecological environment,

breeding so many flies.The situation seemed to be out of control to me though.

這些蒼蠅好多，我在又熱又流汗之下，沿途被攻擊到有幾次想發瘋了，而且蒼蠅都不怕人，也在這邊的餐廳飛來飛去，趕都趕不完。
The flies were so many,and liked to attack me when I was sweating in the hot weather.There were many times that I thought I was so pissed and crazy by those irritating flies.

They were not afriad of humans,and they also flew into restaurants.Too many of them,and there was obvious no a good way to rid of them.

中途經過一計程車站，我看到有朝聖者坐在旁邊休息，就跟她們說，"好誘人喔~想不想搭?"， 哈哈，我做人已經沒什麼身段了，我原本不是很隨和型的人呢!
Passing by a taxi stop,I saw some pilgrims sitting on the benches by the road.I told them,"Wanna have a ride? haha,it's so tempting,right?".

I had joked around these days,it seemed I had changed a little,for I didn't consider myself an easy-going person.

Cincia前天撿到我忘在庇護所的帽子，今天卻是我最後一次與她碰面，朝聖之旅上，人來人去，照理我該留下他們的臉書，可是大家沒有留，可能只有台灣比較普及，

來這的人們戒心可能比較重吧?
I met Cindia again in Carrion,and I didnt expect it would be our last meeting.She found my cap and sent it back to me the other day.So sad.
People I encountered ,who came and went like river flows.I should have had their Face Book as friends, in order to make contacts after the journey.But no one did so.Perhaps it was popular only in Taiwan,or maybe people nowadays are used to being alert.

I didn't care much for I needed to respect others' way of making friends.
