Exploring Santiago

We had about a day and a half in Santiago to get to know the city. We stayed in a hotel right outside the old city. After doing a bunch of chores like, getting new shoes, shipping hiking stuff home, and laundry, we did a lot of walking around this very old city. We visited the cathedral. Saw the tomb of St. James. Attended a mass for Pilgrims (Jim did the first reading & responsorial psalm). Shopped for a few nonhiking things to wear for the next leg of the trip. The summer flowers were still looking pretty around Catheral Square, kind of a contrast, as we saw city workers busily putting up Christmas lights & decorations.Meer informatie
