      Santiago

      29 Agustus 2023, Spanyol ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

      I made it to Santiago! It was a beautiful misty morning walk with pockets of sunshine along the way. There was a gentle flow of pilgrims but not a big rush, which I was grateful for. I was surprised by two horses that appeared along a stone wall and was happy to give them my banana as a treat.

      I made it to the Cathedral and was ushered in with some bagpipe music. I walked the block down to the pilgrim office and got my Compostela. The man processing my credentials was really friendly and congratulatory. He was a volunteer from Florida who has walked 9 Caminos. He asked if I wanted the extra “distance certificate” to mark that I walked from Saint Jean and not just the final 100k to earn the Compostela. I said I didn’t walk every mile so I felt like I didn’t earn the distance certificate. He seemed surprised but didn’t press it.

      When I was waiting to purchase a little packing tube that they sell at the pilgrim office to store your Compostela in safely, I changed my mind and found an opening in the line to go back and ask the man for my distance certificate. He said he was glad I came back and happily gave me the distance certificate saying I completed the Camino from Saint Jean. Even that little story feels like a moment of grace for myself. It’s not important that I didn’t walk every mile from Saint Jean to Santiago. It’s enough that I started in Saint Jean and I ended in Santiago and it was a pilgrimage to get here. I’m glad I didn’t get so caught up in the details that I denied myself the accomplishment of traveling a long ways, whether exclusively by foot or not.

      Today felt joyful and celebratory. I feel proud of myself and grateful for the experience.

      I decided to mail my hiking poles back to the US. The plane doesn’t let you bring them on board with your carry on. I was originally planning on leaving them behind, but I’ve grown fond of them and wanted to keep them as a memento. It felt like I was missing something for a full 10 minutes after I mailed them off.

      I’m happy I decided to visit the ocean tomorrow as a fitting place to end my time in Spain and my time on the Camino.      Baca selengkapnya

      Day 30 Lavacolla to Santiago 632 km

      22 Oktober 2023, Spanyol ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

      Started my walk into Santiago in the dark using the flashlight on my phone because I lost my second headlamp🥺

      Clear night and the sky was lit with stars. All of the winter star sky😍. It was beautiful....

      I heard an owl either catch something or it was a screech owl? I am unsure....I also heard one hooting. It truly was magical.

      I did go off track..but discovered the error very quickly.

      Marched into Santiago and arrived at the Pilgrims office just when it was opening at 9.

      I was so happy to receive my Compostela 😅👏

      Then I had breakfast. Delicious.

      When I walked back down to the Cathedral at 10 there was an enormous line. I thought it was for the Noon Mass so I stood in line as well. When I got to the front I was told it was the wrong lineup and had to walk to the opposite side of the Cathedral. I was successful in getting in and a great seat

      It was a packed service. The highlight was the Botafumeira.
      Please watch the video on the wiki link....it is so cool.

      https://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botafumeiro

      They obviously do not have smoke detectors in the Cathedral🤣 I wondered about people with asthma🤔 It was so smokey with the strong smell of Frankincense incense. What an experience😁

      Afterwards I met up with Stacey and Denise, Debra and Jennifer.
      I had what was called a warm salad. Spinach, mushrooms onions and carrots topped with buffalo milk mozzarella cheese!!
      Wowsers👍 It was so good🥰

      I then found my Albergue and figured out my next adventure.
      I am taking a rest day tomorrow then walking to the Coast Muxia and then Finisterre.

      I saw John at the Supermercados tonight. He did so well!! But he's very tired....like me. I am in a 4 bunk bed room. Hopefully I will sleep well tonight🤞🍀      Baca selengkapnya

      Day 44-Santiago de Compostela

      22 Oktober 2023, Spanyol ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F

      Well, we did it! After almost 500 miles of walking, we arrived at the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela. It's hard to wrap my mind around it. It seems like climbing over the Pyrenees happened so long ago; the never-ending meseta ended; and the recent days of rain stopped as we ended our pilgrimage. What a wild ride. Some days were really hard but we kept putting one foot in front of the other.

      We went to Mass and saw the botafumeiro swing and then we went behind the alter to hug the statue of Saint James (Santiago), the patron saint of Spain.

      We visited the pilgrim office to collect our Compostela and distance certificate and celebrated with a steaming bowl of ramen to warm us up. We followed that up with churros and chocolate.

      What happened next was such a treat. Way back at the beginning of our journey, we mailed a suitcase of our non-pilgrim clothes to the post office in Santiago which we were going to pick up tomorrow. When I checked their hours, I found that they were open today (Sunday). So off we went to collect our suitcase. We couldn't remember what was in it, so we were so happy to find a set of warm clothing for each of us. It's a little strange having to manage more belongings when for the last seven weeks all we've needed was in our backpacks. There's a lesson there.

      Well, now were on vacation for a few days before flying home.      Baca selengkapnya

      We Made It!

      29 Oktober 2023, Spanyol ⋅ 🌧 55 °F

      We started out walking in the dark this morning- we woke so early, too excited to sleep with the anticipation of this being our last day and being so close to our destination. And there was no rain….yet! Our boots were woefully soggy- squishy, wet boots need time to dry- but it didn’t matter today. Even my backpack seemed lighter…until the rain came down in sheets again. Dreary, damp, demoralizing, drippy deluge- so many « D » words- the weather on this trip has earned a grade of D! But never mind- here we go! We passed the imposing Sanctuary of A Escravitude and took what is one of my favorite pictures/ Rick and me and a cruceiro in shadow on the façade of the church- it seems a fair representation of how we must have looked during much of this journey with our ponchos on and faces covered to avoid the rain- just 2 shadows following an ancient pilgrimage- this picture speaks to me! We were inspired by so many pilgrims along the way and one who will remain in my heart was an 85 year old man named Walker ( his real name!) from North Carolina. How could I complain when others are also doing their best in these conditions? Along our travels we passed countless cruceiro on the streets and hills, all reminders of Christ’s sacrifice. Today we passed one of the oldest in Galacia (14th century) carved in a Gothic style, very solid and somber. There were moments of sun today and we were treated to God’s glory with a double rainbow- such a delight to see! We took a quick break for coffee and a pain au chocolat and kept going. At the end of the day we had hiked 16.5 miles but the miracle and joy of it the day was: We Made It! This spiritual pilgrimage we’ve been on with the breathtaking views, cultural heritage sites and weather events had finally deposited us onto our destination- the Praza do Obradoiro and the majestic Cathedral de Santiago, a UNESCO World Heritage site and destination for pilgrims for almost a thousand years. Entering the town we walked along the streets and felt anticipation and also some anxiety- would it be worth the trials we’ve been through this last two weeks? Other pilgrims hurried along beside us through the narrow cobblestone streets and we barely looked at the vendors and restaurants that line them as we rushed forwards! The rain had let up a bit as we entered the square and saw the cathedral- awe inspiring! People were snapping pictures all around us and hugging and smiling- there was a buzz of different languages filling the air and the sense I received from these murmurings was one of incredible joy. Personally I also felt a sense of relief to have made it and pride and gratitude that my body kept pushing. I felt the support of my beloved family and my friends who I prayed for as I walked and who I know had me in their prayers. We snapped a few pictures then made our way to the pilgrims office to present our stamped credentials (proof that we had walked the entire way) and receive our final stamp and a certificate with our names written in Latin. I also had them add my mother’s name and it just makes me so happy to have her name there with mine. We made our way back to the Cathedral and arrived early enough to visit the crypt and tomb of Saint James and we did the « Embrace of the Apostle » before settling down into the pews for the pilgrims Mass. A day I will remember forever and a final feeling of peace, calm and contentment mixed in with some sore and achy muscles :) 🩷✝️🌈🙏🏻🤩🥾🩷Baca selengkapnya

      Final Thoughts 🩷

      30 Oktober 2023, Spanyol ⋅ 🌧 57 °F

      No alarm clock this morning, no need to shove wet insoles into hiking boots, no reason to stuff all of our possessions into a damp backpack and heave it up onto our shoulders….we are here! Thankfully “here” means a comfy hostel with a hot shower.
      With the way we feel, the famous and extravagant Parador Hotel just across from the Cathedral has nothing on this place. Rest and recovery day are in tall order- my right ankle is sore and my legs are still tired from yesterday and all of the days before. Time to slow back down, think about traveling home, collect our thoughts and review lessons learned from this ancient pilgrimage we’ve followed. I keep looking at my beautiful Compostela and my Credencial and can hardly believe we did it! Officially we covered 180 miles for our certificate but according to my IWatch we completed 207.44 miles! We were told that this has been the wettest October in Galacia for 90 years (our luck!)
      I can remember the days that were hardest and the days where our miles led me to the most beautiful sights and my most prayerful moments. Walking the Camino has been just a dream for me for many years and I’m so happy to have done it now. I wish this joyful, content and peaceful feeling to all pilgrims who are searching. We went to Mass again today at noon and were fortunate enough to see the Botafumeiro, a large thurible, swing and release incense throughout the church- such an ancient rite and amazing today even in our technologically minded world. It was maneuvered by eight robed men, called tiraboleiros and swung from the main dome- reportedly it can reach speeds of 60 km/hr as it swings from side to side along the church naves! We saw many of our pilgrimage friends at Mass- so many friendships made with people not soon forgotten. After Mass we strolled around the town and admired the shops and the town squares (prazas) especially again the Praza do Obradoiro and the west facing façade of the Cathedral. One of the guide books I had read said to search for, “St. James looking down upon the pilgrims from his niche in the central tower” and seeing him up there I know he smiled down on us, especially today! We treated ourselves to a yummy seafood paella for lunch, bought some fruit, cheese, olives and a baguette for dinner tonight and headed back to the hostel to nap before our trip home tomorrow. Time to get back to reality, time to live with a greater appreciation of all that I have been given. I’m changed but I’m the same me just one hoping to be a better witness of my faith and possibly walk another Camino one day!
      Time will tell- only God knows. ✝️🥰🙏🏻      Baca selengkapnya

      What now?

      28 April, Spanyol ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

      Waking up on Sunday, I had one foot in and one foot out of the pilgrim experience. I was in a bunk bed, but I wasn't walking today. I had to get out by eight, but my Compostela was now amongst the things I needed to pack up. I was finished, but I needed to walk the last four kilometres of it again to get to the bus station. Some are in the same boat, some are continuing on to Finisterre. What do we say now? Buen life!

      She's very misty and atmospheric today, could not see more than 50m ahead which frankly wasn't a bad thing in this strange communist youth camp the albergue is part of. The complex has wifi in two areas, the reception and the bar I was in last night. I beelined for the latter, excited to spend my first morning off slow with a coffee but NO it was closed. Out of the fog I spied another door - yep, there's a dining hall of course there is, they were probably all in here last night eating a good dinner when I was eating my anticlimactic BAR BREAD.

      Talking to myself was an issue before the trip but it's really been allowed to set down roots over the last thousand ks, so I made the mundane observation to myself that there's a bit going on here, and joined a queue. It was cafeteria style, sliding your tray along and putting what you wanted on it, and in all the American highschool movies I'VE seen, you pay the mean lunchlady with the dry sense of humour at the end.

      When this didn't happen, and the bench I was sliding my tray along just ended, I looked around furtively and went and sat at a table. Maybe we pay when we leave? I chewed and watched, the chewing slowing as I realised this might be free. I don't think it was supposed to be, I think I just missed a crucial step by mistake, but in the spirit of no private property and workers rights I didn't bother to correct it. Branna called this character growth. I call it the juncture we'll all point to in a year when I'm in jail, because I also nicked a bunch of stuff for later. Next stop, face tattoo.

      My bus wasn't until 7pm so I mooched around SdC until 11.30am before heading to the Cathedral for mass (see separate post). Resuming my mooch afterwards my jaw dropped to see Matt sitting outside a cafe. He's a great bloke keen readers will remember from Ages Ago and we'd sort of loosely discussed cycling across the Meseta, which didn't happen. He's a fancy pants and only stays in hotels so between that and the fact that I assumed he'd cycled what I'd walked, I firmly believed I'd never see him again.

      I joined him and Rachel, who he'd met and walked with in the last few kilometres, for one of the best conversations of the whole Camino over the next two hours. Today was truly a litany of things going wrong/falling through/being harder than necessary and in many ways hanging around ScD until 7 was a source of frustration but in the big scheme of things, it made this wonderful, spontaneous, open connection possible and for that it was all worth it. There are no coincidences on Camino.

      We split in three different directions - Matt to the 5-star hotel in the cathedral plaza (of course), Rachel to scope out the next mass, and me to KFC. I will not be taking feedback at this time.

      What followed was five hours of cock up after cock up I will be detailing in my whinge file so as to not tarnish this account or scare mum. The headline is, I laid down my head in Braga, Portugal, ready to start the next phase.      Baca selengkapnya

      … wieder in Santiago

      14 September 2022, Spanyol ⋅ 🌧 19 °C

      Es ist beschlossen!
      Ich bin wieder in Santiago. Heute morgen hat mich eine nette Frau – „you have to do your work with love.“ – mit dem Taxi hierher gebracht. Es war ein unglaubliches Gefühl, wieder in einem Auto zu sitzen und mit 120 kmh über die Autobahn zu flitzen. Meine Höchstgeschwindigkeit in den letzten sieben Wochen lag so bei drei Kilometer pro Stunde.
      Ich habe für heute ein kleines Hotel in der Nähe der Catedral gefunden. Den Vormittag habe ich genutzt, um die letzten Tage zu organisieren. Ich habe ein paar neue Kleider gekauft und einen kleinen Rucksack. Den benutze ich dann in der Zeit, in der ich noch hier bin. Ich kaufe mir noch einen großen Koffer, in den ich meinen Rucksack und all das, was ich nicht mehr brauche, deponiere. Den lasse ich dann gleich hier: ich hab noch einen Koffer in Santiago.
      Ab morgen habe ich für zwei Tage ein Zimmer in Finisterre gemietet. Den Bus dahin habe ich auch schon gebucht. Die Fahrt wird drei Stunden dauern. Darauf freue ich mich. Ich hoffe, ich kann noch einmal ganz eintauchen in dieses unglaubliche Naturerleben – diese Fülle, diese Vielfalt, der Reichtum durch die Elemente, besonders das Wässrige und Üppige.
      Samstag/Sonntag bin ich dann wieder in dem Hostal Rosa Rosae (Rosenwege), in dem ich am letzten Wochenende schon war, bevor ich dann am Montag heimfliege.      Baca selengkapnya
