Monte do Gozo 4k away!

Today, I stopped short of going into Santiago. I would rather walk into the square while the sun is rising. Tomorrow, I will walk in the morning and greet the cathedral with my hands lifted in gratitude. Many of us will walk in together and embrace the completion of our 3o+ day journey.
Pictures:
#1&2. The first view of the cathedral of Satiago from the hill of Monte do Gozo park.
#3. I recognized this albergue café from where Bri and I stayed in 2019, the window of our room where we slept.
#4. While still dark, the walkers head out each day.
#5&6. The camino is a circus show now. Cueing up for purchasing special tokens and unique stamps on their passports. There are cafés around every corner, accommodations are ample, and people are coming in swarms. This part is quite entertaining, I'm not bothered in a bit because it's just another side of the camino now.
#7. A very detailed picture painted on a building!
#8. Poke weed. It is a beautiful ornamental plant that birds love but is highly toxic, even fatal for human consumption.
#9. Passing a church, I like the expressions on both these statues.
#10. Having lunch in this albergue with my aussie girls and Karen (78) from Germany. This is the largest albergue on the route (though so few were here today), over 500 beds in several buildings.
#11. And again, another camino cat.💓Read more
