In pala de rei hoping to get to santiago on the 11 or 12th.

Rained yesterday, but today wasnt too bad. We have been walking with a new friend, learning more about Europe than I had ever hoped.

Today I spent time in the cathedral meditating on the gifts of the Camino, and I hugged the shoulders of this swanky guy.

The 20k day into Santiago was constantly distracted with day dreams of the Spanish delicacy, suckling pig. Thank you!

Santiago day 2.

Something told me I needed to get moving to Finisterre. This is the heart of my walk. I skipped though Santiago, have not been to the cathedral and just continued my journey. I am in Negreira on the way to Finisterre. Of all the bars on this Camino, Frederikka walks into mine.  Or I walked into hers and we had an emotional long embrace that we both needed. So happy!

So much foot pain today, but I found 3 four-leaf clovers. Made it to treacastilla, the town without three castles.

I’m in Sarria! It’s amazing that I only have 100 kilometers to go, but it feels good. I’m getting ready to be in Santiago.

34 KM later.

Tricastela finally. The mountains were beautiful but slightly tricky with a side of rain and mud! Signs of my first Camino blister are emerging! Approximately 27 days without being in a motor vehicle to St. Jean to begin the Camino!

What goes up most definitely will end up coming down! The way down after a morning of mountains was gorgeous, looking over all the cities we came through, to all the cities we would pass through!

Santiago in a few.

Buen Camino

Still in Santiago.

I bought a pair of jeans.

And sneakers.

For sneaking.
