Santiago to Finesterre

After the Spanish mass, we had a lovely lunch with John and Brenda from Ireland. Spanish wine, Johnnie Black scotch, pimientos pradones, lobster paella, and chocolate cheesecake. What a celebration!

We rented a car at 4:30 and Charles drove us to Finesterre, the end of the world. By continuing to buy food and beer, we had front row seats on a cafe balcony for sunset over the Atlantic. Everyone applauded when the last bit of sun melted into the water. Nature as live theatre, it was stunning. We managed to get back to Santiago, drop off the car and fell into comfy beds with air conditioning at 19 centigrade.

I felt euphoric all day. I couldn’t quite believe the joy we felt and what we accomplished, yet here we are. I feel truly blessed.Les mer
