    🥾Many have said that “Your camino truly begins after you return home”, which we have yet to experience first hand, but we’re beginning to understand the sentiment.

    For the past 5 weeks, life has been absurdly simple. You wake up in the morning and no decisions need to be made as to what clothes you will wear, or how to style your hair. No emails or voicemails need to be returned, and daily obligations seem non-existent.

    The choice of what you will eat throughout the day is usually made for you, based on what is available along your route and, of course, what you will be doing all day long is simple as well: you will be walking. When you finish walking, you will hand-wash your clothes for the next day & hang them to dry, take a shower, share a meal with other pilgrims and recount stories from the day. You will be in bed early, then wake-up and do it all again tomorrow.

    Kindness of strangers is expected by all and given freely throughout each and every day, and new friends from around the world become a make-shift family. As much as we are so ready to be home, we are certain that that we will continue to carry the camino in our hearts for years to come.

    Thanks to everyone for all of your support during this incredible journey, your love has been felt every step of the way. ✌🏼🇪🇸❤️    Читать далее

    Vacation on the Coast (Muxia)

    Muxia, Part 1

    To celebrate our Camino, we took a bus to the Spanish coastal towns of Muxia and Finisterre.

    Muxía (pronounced moo-SHEE-ah), Spain is one of the popular seaside sites that shouldn't be missed at the end of your pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago. It is a most sacred place, rife with legend, natural beauty and a unique and intimate ambiance.

    If you have seen the movie “The Way” After the group arrives at Santiago de Compostela, Tom is ultimately accompanied to Muxía by the other three members. There, he scatters the remainder of Daniel's ashes in the Atlantic Ocean.

    As the legend goes, the Virgin Mary herself met St. James at this very site and helped and encouraged him in his preaching throughout Galicia.

    It is also believed that by a miracle of God, the body of the saint, after his beheading at the hands of the Romans, was carried in a boat back to Muxía where it was discovered many years later and taken to Santiago.    Читать далее

    Vacation on the Coast (Finisterre)

    20 мая 2024 г., Испания ⋅ ⛅ 57 °F

    To celebrate our Camino, we took a bus to the Spanish coastal towns of Muxia and Finisterre.

    Both Finisterre & Muxia are on the rocky Costa da Morte (Galician: "Coast of Death"), named because of the large number of shipwrecks along these shores.

    Finisterre, or Fisterra in Gallego, the local Galician dialect, means "Land's End" in Latin. Indeed, for many pilgrims completing any Camino de Santiago, this Cape, or Cabo Fisterra, is their journey's end. The walk to this area is another 3-4 day journey past Santiago, many pilgrims take a bus to Finisterre and/or Muxia at the end of their Camino due to time restraints.

    Finisterre was considered to be the end of the known world in the Middle Ages, it held special spiritual and physical significance.

    We loved our short visits to both Finisterre & Muxía, each costal village had its own unique charm and character.    Читать далее

    Back to Santiago for our Farwell!

    20–21 мая 2024, Испания ⋅ ☁️ 63 °F

    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
