• Last day on the Camino - Muxia

    June 13, 2024 in Spain ⋅ 🌫 16 °C

    Decided to opt out of the day of walking and Helen and I spent the morning at the beach in Lires and took a cab to Muxia where Mary, who was walking, was there to greet us!
    We spent some time exploring Muxia and went to an evening mass at 7pm.
    In ending this Camino, I must say it has been one of the most difficult Caminos of the 3 I’ve done. Of course a lot due to my foot issues, but I also struggled a lot emotionally.
    With my mother in law passing away on the 27th of May whilst I was away❤️, and the upcoming anniversary of Peter’s death ❤️ on the 17th of June, and all of the “firsts” of going through this past year, this Camino has been an emotional roller coaster to say the least.
    Turning 60 while away was a highlight for sure as I knew I wanted to be away for that, and I’m so grateful especially to Mary and Helen for making it such a special day ❤️❤️
    And it was so nice to have Joyce and Kamala join us in Santiago to make our trek to Finisterre and Muxia a “Party of 5”!!! (even if Helen and I bused and taxied some of the way…… just because we can!!)
    We are back to Santiago today at 11am to overnight, and then my journey back home to Kamloops will begin.
    After 4 weeks of being away, I can say that I am ready for home and my familiar surroundings ❤️❤️❤️❤️.
    Goodbye to the Camino de Santiago again… 😊
