Santiago de Compostela (Friday)

We began our day by going back to the pilgrim office to have some things corrected on our documents. My Compostela had my name listed as Susannam, which they told me was the Latin form of Susan. Having looked it up, we felt like it should end in an H not an M, but they told me it was the accusative form. Far be it for me to argue Latin with them! Also, the starting date on our distance certificate indicated we started on May 9th instead of September 5th, a confusion between the European and American dating system. They printed us new ones.

We took a tour of the cathedral and its museum, which was very interesting. My conclusion regarding Catholicism versus evangelicalism is that Catholics do better with architecture and evangelicals do better with worshiping God alone.

We did lots of browsing and wandering in the old City around the cathedral, and ended our evening with a special celebratory dinner, thanks to Jeremiah and Lydia.

Now that we have officially ended the Camino, we only walked 8 and 1/2 mi today. 🤪Read more
