A Estrada to Santiago (33 km)

Your description of coming into the square almost sounded like what it is like arriving in Heaven- after a long journey, seeing the people that wove in and out of your journey having all reached your destination.

OMG, I’m so very sad for me to see that your travels are coming to an end. Thank you so much for “taking me” along with you. I’ve so enjoyed your photos and learning about the people you’ve met!

It has been really fun to read all of your posts and to view photos of your journey. I admire what you have accomplished and have even wondered if I could ever do such an adventure. Who knows.

6:00 am, out the door after a vending machine coffee. Neither of us studied the route, we just started walking. It was a slow, constant, uphill slog for 6 hours! I was wiped out!
