To Santiago

We are finished!! 38 days and 500 miles ended with us walking into the Cathedral square and plopping ourselves down on stone ground, happy and relieved to be done. Eric and Caroline were also there and for the next few hours we enjoyed watching people finish their Caminos in front of the Cathedra and helping take pictures of everyone. 🙂

There was a huge round of applause for Jen and her crew when they wheeled her in and then another when a young man proposed to his girlfriend. They were such jubilant moments, in fact the whole square was bubbling with happiness and relief to be done.

We were able to welcome Don and Maryann as they finished and then got to see our Switzerland friends and then Judy (along with her husband who drove from Ireland to meet her).

We finished off the day with tapas and drinks with Don, Maryann, and then the Chicago crew and Katrina from New Zealand. We also were able to see Candi April and Maria before they leave tomorrow.

We now get to sleep in for a few days without heading out early in the morning to walk. 🙂 We will meet up with our friend Nika and Don and Maryann tomorrow and just relax before heading home.
