My day of rest was long and tiring, full of reunions and goodbyes. I feel a little bit like an overtired kid being taken away from a party.
I got to see Sheena and Owen arrive in Santiago, as well as the Brazilians.
I attended mass with Adrie and saw the botofumiero in action, a giant incense burner that requires seven men to swing throughout the cathedral. It was impressive.
I had lunch with Haley, her mom, and her Camino beau who were freshly back from walking to Finisterre.
I picked up my credencial for my walk to Finisterre. It’s supposed to rain tomorrow and I’m feeling a little blah about the walk, but I know that once my feet start moving, I will be glad. I even bought an umbrella in the hopes that it will ward off the storm.
I said goodbye to heaps of others. I’m grateful for the experience, but it is sad to see it end.
Lisa took a great picture of me this morning while the plaza in front of the church was empty.
Off I go again tomorrow…
Woohooo! Congratulations!
