13mi OPedrouzo to Santiago de Compostela

Day 27, Santiago!! Wow, what an incredible adventure!! I walked 528 miles (845 km) from St Jean-Pied-a-Port, France to Santiago de Compostela, Spain. I could not have asked for a better pilgrimage! I learned so much, made so many incredible friends, and heard so many wonderful stories. I felt pain, sorrow, joy, excitement, love, peace, and wonder.

My new favorite phrase is “Ti Voglio Bene! 💕” which is Italian for “I love you!” in friendly terms. I walked alone the last hour into Santiago and I was giddy the whole way! I listened to my theme song of the Camino one last time and was reminded of my theme to let go of control and let God lead me through this beautiful life 🎶. It worked the whole way on the Camino and the journey was more incredible than I could have dreamed! 🤗

I met up with friends in the cathedral plaza and we all went to mass together. The incense swung high and I couldn’t stop the tears of joy from coming. The incense only swings on Fridays unless someone pays a hefty sum. It didn’t surprise me at all that I hopped in line with my friends just in time to make it to mass and see this incredible occurrence. God is good 🙏🏻❤️ I prayed in front of the tomb of Saint James and offered up my Camino for my two Godson’s, Connor and James 💙🙏🏻💙.

I am so proud of myself and all my friends for completing this incredible journey. I will carry this pilgrimage with me in my heart for the rest of my life! 🥰Leggi altro
