    Easter Sunday

    April 5 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 70 °F

    Our last full day in Santiago. We overslept and didn't wake up until 9 am after getting home late last night after the procession. We still made it to the cathedral Plaza Quintana in time to see the Easter pageantry. We sat on the steps and watched the crowds gather. Then the Archbishop of Santiago came out and gave the homily and retold the Easter story.

    Christ and Mary met in the center of the square and the mourning cloak was taken off Mary by a little angel.

    We had a coffee at a local bar and made our way to our temporary home. We've washed our clothes and are packing up. We have a cab picking us up at 6:30 am and we have a 7:45 train tomorrow. We'll have 2 train changes and won't get into Pamplona until evening. We plan to begin our Camino on Tuesday morning and will walk as far as we can before returning to Pamplona on April 29 to prepare for our volunteer time.    Read more
