On To Finisterre
After a wonderful dinner with our friends from Denmark, we retired for the evening and got a good night's sleep in our HOTEL room. We awoke to what Joan deemed to be our best breakfast yet. We gathered our gear, said goodbye to Santiago and hit the road for Finisterre. Our walk this morning was the most relaxed we had since before Sarria. We walked close to 6 km before we saw another pilgrim. Very quiet and peaceful. We logged 22km and stopped in a small city where we were the first peregrinos to check into this particular albergue. It is filling up now but we don't recognize any of these people from the trail. Thinking they must be mostly weeklong walkers just heading for the ocean. We have found that we can tell the people that are new to the trail. First, we look at the shoes. If they look fairly new, they probably are. Second, if their pants are tight, they haven't been walking long. The only thing keeping our pants/ shorts up are our belts. Anyhow, we are feeling good and looking forward to the road to Finisterre.

Dear Joan and Ed ,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the many cosy meetings'we have had on the Camino and for the nice dinner we had together in Santiago. Monday morning we took a bus to Finisterre, and though the weather was cloudy, it was very interesting
to be there. We got a very fine meal of seafood
and also found time for a little swim in the Atlantic, before we returned to Santiago.
To day, Wednesday, we are back in Copenhagen
on our "daily Camino" We send you the best wishes for your last stage on the Camino de Santiago.
Doris and Christian
To our dear friends Doris and Christian,
DeleteWe enjoyed see you along the Way and having dinner in Santiago. You will be in our hearts forever. We are home now and already missing the Way. but talking our family has been wonderful. We really enjoyed Muxia and were so glad to be able to make it there as it really felt like we had come to the end our our Camino.
Ed and Joan
