    We’ve Arrived!

    5. Juni 2018 in Spanien ⋅ 🌧 12 °C

    We’re in Santiago! We arrived yesterday afternoon after a longer walk than planned —

    At 10:00 yesterday morning, with only 12 miles to go, we decided to forge on through the rain so we could wake up this morning in our nice Santiago hotel room (instead of walking 6 miles through more rain this morning). So our total walk was 38 days, plus 2 rest days in Burgos and Santiago.

    After a rest yesterday afternoon and a bit of liquid refreshment, we picked up our Compostelas at the Pilgrims Office. Lots of tired but happy people waiting in line with us —

    Looks like our days here will be rainy, so we’ll visit the Cathedral and eat more Spanish food!    Weiterlesen

    Around Santiago

    6. Juni 2018 in Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    We spent part of the morning doing a little shopping, then went back to the Cathedral to watch some pilgrims arrive in the square. We found a seat and waited for the noon Pilgrim’s Mass to start. It was a full house, with all seats taken and people finding standing room everywhere.

    The officiating priest read out the countries from which pilgrims had travelled, and their starting points, according to yesterday’s records from the Pilgrims’ Office - Spain, France, Germany, USA, Korea, Paraguay, Argentina...

    We chos a good Mass to attend: at the end of the service, the Botafumeiro— a huge incense burner — was sent swinging to the rafters. I’ll try to post pictures...

    We also visited St. James’ remains, kept in a silver reliquary below the alter.

    And then we went out for octopus and roasted sausage for lunch!    Weiterlesen

    Home Again

    11. Juni 2018 in den USA ⋅ ⛅ 34 °C

    It’s Monday, a week since we walked into Santiago. We arrived back in San Antonio on Friday night after 24 hours of travel, and the jet lag seems to be subsiding.

    We walked around the old town on our last evening, looking at the tantalizing offerings in restaurant windows. So many restaurants, so little time!

    As we returned to our hotel, the sun broke through the clouds for just a few brief moments, shining on one of the spires of the Cathedral — a perfect ending to our adventure!    Weiterlesen
