So tonight is our last night on the Camino. A short 10 km walk tomorrow brings us to the Cathedral at Santiago de Compostela. The past 35 days and nights have simply been amazing.
Yesterday's walk was fairly uneventful. Twenty kilometers, up and down, but not too extreme. We even got a little rain which kept things cool. The church in O 'Pedrouzo had a pilgrim mass we attended. Like so many in Spain, the church is very ornate and charming. The place was standing room only, and while we didn't understand much it was very nice.
Today's walk to Lavacolla was very short, only about 10 km. This will leave us a leisurely 10 km tomorrow to Santiago. We will miss the journey but are looking forward to reconnecting with Nathan and our Camino friends. Tonight we drank and dined with some fellow pilgrims, one, James, we've met before, the rest we met today. That's how it is on the Camino. Hundreds of people having a common experience in fellowship. If you've ever wanted to do something truly special you should try this. It's indescribable.
Congratulations ... Both of you did it!
