Santiago

Some more pics - going backwards.

It was lovely coming in from Camino Sanabres. Through ordinary suburbs and lovely streets of the old town.

I somehow didn’t journal this day which I spent in Santiago. Here are my memories of this day last year and my reflections that arose as I wrote.

After a slow start to the morning I went to Ivar’s bag storage to collect a few things (eg. down jacket) from my bag that I had posted to him from Sevilla. Ivar is lovely and we had a nice chat. I sorted out my clothes for the walk to Muxia etc.

I remember that I went to Mass and really enjoyed it - more than the day before. The sermon was delivered in Spanish but I seemed to understand the intent. Something like - You have walked this pilgrimage, overcome challenges, made discoveries; now as you go home it is the time to digest and embody this experience; to take this presence, essence, courage, strength with you into your daily life.

I also had a rather unsatisfactory lunch at a place in the little square - swings and roundabouts.
