Day 13

I was warned that Meseta could be mentally challenging and I must admit to having a wobble today. I'm now two weeks in and despite all my amazing experiences I got a pang of homesickness. My friends and family are very important to me and I am missing being able to see them and picking up the phone to chat. Wifi has been my link back home and it has not been good the last two days. There is Wifi in most cafes and bars and the staff are constantly harassed for the password. Today on asking for the password the bar man asked me if I was a pilgrim or a tourist. Perhaps he has a point and in fact one of the best nights I've had was at an Albergue with no Wifi so everyone had to talk to each other! I did not stay feeling sorry for myself. Ludger and Neil (Scotsman I met at the airport with a Camino addiction) gave me a pep talk after which I felt much better. We then had some of the local egg soup and some tasty pork for dinner.
