Back to Santiago for our Farwell!

Our last night & day in Santiago were spent celebrating with some friends who finished their Caminos while we were at the coast, doing a little shopping, saying goodbye to departing friends, attending a special pilgrims mass and touring the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, including the tomb of Saint James the Great, the apostle of Jesus Christ, is located in the crypt beneath the main altar of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Spain. The remains of St. James are kept in a silver urn with those of his disciples, Saint Athanasius and Saint Theodore.

We also took a guided tour of the Cathedral Roof with access to the north tower of the cathedral more than 70 meters high… that’s right people, we were walking around on the roof of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela without so much as a waiver, I’d like to see that happen in the USA 😅.

On Tuesday afternoon we took a 3 hour train ride to Madrid for our flight home ✈️ the next day. Wednesday was an all day travel affair, with 10 total hours in the sky between 2 different flights and a 7 hour layover in Philly all while adjusting to a 6 hour time change 😵‍💫. David was gracious enough to make the trip to Detroit to pick us up at 11:45pm.

Neither of us has been away from our loved ones or fur babies for almost 6 weeks prior to this trip and it’s nuts to think that we have not slept in the same bed for more than one night over the past 38 days. We will miss Spain and cherish the new friends that we have made but there’s definitely no place like home 💕Читать далее
