Day 14 La Coruña to Santiago

I made it! 280km in 14 days.
I walked by myself today. I was surprisingly emotional, I even teared up when I arrived at the Cathedral. Partly the joy of making it and partly that there was no one there to share it with.

The women that helped me was from Ottawa and she said I was the first CCOP credential she had seen.
