Santiago de Compestela

Over a million steps (a few missteps), I have arrived in Santiago de Compostela. It’s such a mixed set of emotions, that will take time to process. I’ll be here until Monday and will post more in the next few days. For now, I’m taking it all in and celebrating with friends I met along the way. It’s great to see fellow pilgrims in the street that you’ve seen, but don’t know theirs name or language they speak - yet still you wave, high five, say cheers or congratulations to.

My shoes are officially trashed - held together by medical/sports tape for the last 200km. Fortunately, I had a bag of clothes and comfortable sneakers waiting for me in Santiago that o had shipped ahead on day 1. It was nice to wear something different for a change - too bad many of my clothes are too big now!Read more
