The next day, it rained all day, and Li Shenxing was alone in the small but warm room of the hotel. He lay lazily on the bed and refused to go out all the time, as if his physical strength and emotions were suddenly back before the pilgrimage.

When night approached, Li Shenxing finally convinced himself to walk out of the room, which made him see the other side of Santiago de Compostela. There was no sunshine, it was so cold that it was bone marrow. The crowded and lively neighborhood alleys became particularly deserted, and even the church square, which always had the most people, was only a few people.

Facing the cathedral's door where pilgrims entered and left, Li Shenxing came to the corridor and found a seat to sit down. With the dim street light, he took out the notebook he carried with him, thought about it slightly, and then held the pen and wrote down such a diary.

"The thunderstorm that started last night continued into the early morning and drizzled all day. It was the longest and worst day in my Camino for more than thirty days, and the whole of Santiago de Compostela was in a gloom."

"After checking out in the morning, I moved to the single room of the hotel next to the cathedral. The bells of the cathedral were clearer than in the previous few days. They rang on time every hour and touched the soul once every sound. Even in the chaos of nap, I could feel the slight trembling of my body as the bells rang. At 7:30 in the evening, I finally walked out of the room and did not walk into the cathedral to attend the third mass, but sat in the square corridor on the east side of the cathedral and listened to the sound of rain and wrote this passage."

"Camine de Santiago's pilgrimage to Santiago has never been related to religious beliefs to me! If it weren't for the movie "The Way", if it wasn't for the filming of "Boarding in Spain", I might not be able to read the name of Santiago de Compostela, the difficult city, and its religious status in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Spain, and its third Catholic city second only to Rome and Jerusalem."

"Now, I can actually carry a backpack of nearly 12kg from beginning to end, and walk 800km from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port in France across the entire northern Spain to get here. 800km may be the distance I used to be able to reach by just stepping on the accelerator for six or seven hours, but this time I didn't stop and rest for a day. I hiked for thirty days, and it took an average of seven or eight hours a day."

"Many people think that the most precious time passes by step by step every day. Some people say that I have money and leisure, so I have a lot of money and time to waste. I don't deny that I won't care. The pilgrimage journey is originally a very personal thing. It is not necessary to announce what the world has learned without expecting others to understand. Anyone who decides to do something that seems crazy always has his (her) reasons. Some reasons can be explained clearly, and some of them may not be able to understand. When they reach the end and complete it, for me, it is the end. I will find another goal next time and then complete it."

"Some netizens or fans say that the Spain I took every day on hiking is beautiful, almost confusing them whether they have really been to Spain before? This time, I walked through four major regions in northern Spain. Each region has its own climate, terrain, scenery, culture, and food characteristics. If I were asked to choose any of them, I really couldn't do it, so I felt very glad that I finally hiked the entire way without missing any area. God was even too kind to me, and he gave me the best weather this season, not as rainy as before, no natural disasters, no fear, terror, attack, and even almost no physical pain or damage."

"This is my first time hiking for such a long time. I get up with the sunrise every day and start a day's walk in the morning light. Every rising sun is the best, because my body has recovered after a whole night of sleep and is full of energy. Even the most common scenery in the morning light is the most beautiful, with all kinds of sounds in nature, various smells in the countryside, and Buen Camino who greets each other with pilgrims passing by along the way!"

"After a month of hiking, I feel that my hearing becomes more sensitive, my vision becomes clearer, and my sense of smell has improved a lot, and what I hear is particularly sharp. Generally, after 20 kilometers every day, after noon, the soles of my feet begin to swell and pain, and my steps become dull, allowing my two sticks to swing mechanically. The sunlight also becomes hot, especially the plain without any obstruction, and it is obvious that all the moisture in my body is evaporating, but

But I was unwilling to stop and take off my backpack and get a kettle, because every time I stopped and started, it would make my feet more painful. Another reason is that after two o'clock in the afternoon, it is difficult to see pilgrims on the road. Most people choose to follow the itinerary and walk 20-25 kilometers a day and then settle in a larger town before one or two o'clock. If you are still insisting on walking 5-10 kilometers to the next town, the psychological loneliness of walking alone in the harsh nature is the most unbearable thing in the day!”

"So, what I am most grateful for is Xiaohu, a travel companion who has been with me for more than 20 days. Although we had little conversation at the beginning because we didn't know much about it, we walked silently one after another, but the journey between two people is always better than that of one person."

"The San Diego Pilgrimage Road is a very mature hiking route with increasingly perfect hardware facilities along the way. The accommodation and dining conditions are even far beyond my expectations, and they are extremely cost-effective. It has length but not difficult. All it takes is to adjust your mindset and overcome the possible physical pain, fatigue, laziness and psychological helplessness, loneliness, loneliness."

"For urban people who get off work every day, perhaps just a cycle of traffic jams, meetings, negotiations, writing emails, and getting wages on the busy schedule every day, but for hiking pilgrims, it is a step and footprint every minute. Fortunately, our bodies are tired every day, and our spirit is indeed fulfilled!"

"Hyuri asked a few days ago that I was about to reach the end. Will I feel reluctant to leave? I said I would wait until I got there before I could reply to you. Today, I sat in the cafe and wrote on the postcard sent to her, no! The pilgrimage is just a short experience in life. No matter what you feel and gain during the hike, you will eventually return to your original life as a social person. Those traces that are deep or shallow in your memory may be forgotten one day, but as long as I still remember it now!"

"Si  de  noche  lloras  porque  no  ves el  sol,  tus  lágrimas  no  te  dejarán  ver  las  estrellas.” When you cry because the sun sets, the tears will make you unable to see the stars in the sky.

After feeling a little emotional, Li Shenxing put away his notebook and pen, got up and moved his stiff limbs while sitting, and then walked towards the alley with an attractive fragrance without looking back.

I haven't had a good meal for a day, so I have to eat more and drink more on the last day. After all, I don't know when I want to eat next time.
