Sadness & Disappointment...
My walk is over...
I rested two and a half days and took the bus to Burgos. There I met some lovely, older French men, Jean & Francois, who invited me to walk with them across the meseta....
We were making good time...but my knee was aching a bit...at some point, I took a wrong step... and that was that. Shooting pain! Francois carried my pac,. as well as his own, to the next town, Hornillos. I said goodbye to them while I tried to hide my tears...
Today I am at a train station to get to Bilbao, where I will catch a flight back to London so I can see a doctor...
I´m extremely bummed about this. It´s so frustrating to feel good and strong....I could already feel my stamina increasing...and then to encounter a physical limitation overwhich I have no power....Well, Bruce said he know exactly how I feel!!!
So - once I´m back in London...I will make a few more blog entries to fill you in on some of the other details I´ve had no time to share...I have a second chapter to "young catholic priests"....!!!
This experience has me thinking about " failure" too...so I will have to sort those thoughts out and jot them down...More later...
Adios...

Hey Grrrl. You're my hero.
I think you must be lazy if you only walked over 100km. If I was there, I would give your knee a twist!
Hee hee!
I sure miss you.

Hey Lady,
So sorry to hear your journey has come to an end, for now. It just means you get to plan and train to take it on stronger and wiser next time.
If you're sticking around in England, fancy being my date for the wedding?!
Take care hon,
Lots of Love Fee xx
Hey, darlin' ~
**Buggerbuggerbugger** for you, dammit!!
And with that said I'm still going to say this even tho' it's possible I run the risk of you telling me to kiss my own a** BUT, as far as I'm concerned, there is no failure, only discovery. And discover you have & so you shall continue, I've little doubt.
May your knee (& heart) heal quickly, and here's to the unfolding of your adventure.
Big Love, ~ xo,C.
Dear Rebecca,
I'm so sorry to hear that your pelerinage has come to a detour because of injury. Still, I think that 100km is a crusade that many of your Toronto colleagues (myself included)have not achieved. I'm very proud of you. Rest up, take care of your knee, and something tells me that London will reveal its share of adventure to you before we see you again. Julian Doucet will be in London in a day or so if you need live eroleplay support.
Cheers,
Michael:)
Rebecca,
Reading this post, I can't help but think of how you had us all cheering whenever we failed in the 'Level A' class at SC you taught. It was strange at first, but you somehow got it into our heads that failure was GREAT!!
May the improv gods be with you.
You stepped out and took a risk, and for that, you rock.
Lots of Love,
Student.
there is no failure. you have suceeded in accepting another path to your journey, follow it where ever it may lead. my love, my thoughts.
Hey lady...as all have been saying, you have done a lot! I am proud of you...and it is fitting that after so many years of Keith telling us that failure is good, and the only way to learn...well, you know! Paul and I are now proud owners of a very expensive condo! Got keys today...god helps us!
love ya, tell limey to take good care of you!!
