Getting ready to leave Seville

The last two days have been a whirlwind. I moved across to the Hostal Triana and broached the post office to send my excess clothes to Santiago. The post lady rejected my box because it wasn't sealed sufficiently. Now I had to find more packing tape. It was a good thing in the end because I needed to send the bag I have been using as well and I had not packed it into the box. More thinking about how to do this  most effectively was required. I sent two parcels on after locating an English speaking postal worker and a Chinese odds and end place where I found some packing tape. Mission accomplished and a real weight lifted.
Yesterday I got a thrill tingle when I saw the first shell marker and today a yellow arrow after I received my second Sello - the  Seville Cathedral to accompany the Hostal Triana.  I feel myself withdrawing from the hustle and bustle and an eagerness to get started. This time tomorrow I may feel differently with a backpack weighing me down!
I have arranged to walk out tomorrow with a French pilgrim who speaks no English. Once again my schoolgirl French is being dragged out. How I murder all these languages but we get by.
