It was a great trip! Here are our passports or “credentials”. Since of course Jay and I were traveling together, they are virtually identical.
When you are walking a camino you use these to gain access to the albergues (hostels for pilgrims). Then you get a stamp at each place you stay (and cafes and bars) to prove at the end of the camino you have walked (or rode a bike or horse) the required distance to get your Compostela (100km if walking or 200km if riding a bike or horse). We also both received our distance certificates that confirmed we walked 240 kilometers (150 miles) and our Compostela Certificates (documents from the 13th century written in Latin to prove we completed a pilgrimage.
The passports and certificates are great, but of course the real rewards are the great memories of people and places.
Thank you Jay for all the great memories!Leia mais
