Back in the Saddle Again

We made it to Santiago, and after two days of rest (and eating and showering), we got up and set out for Finisterre, 90k past Santiago. This is the westernmost point of Europe, and the furthest a pilgrim could therefore go. This is a little debateable, but the yellow arrows pointed that way, so 3 days of walking later, we watched the sunset over the ocean. It felt like a good end to our trip.

We hadn´t planned on this added leg, but we are glad that we did it. It feels more complete now.

Made It!

...and every step was by God´s grace. We are in santiago, arrived yesterday morning after a short walk (5k). It has been good to catch up and reunite with a few other pilgrims, sleep in, and not be so hungry! We have had a chance to reflect on the camino, but it will be a while before it all starts to sink in and take root.

I think that we apprecaite the simple things more now: food, rest, privacy, band aids, companionship, each other, home. We talk a lot about how we miss Berean, our home church, and the people there.

I have put some new pictures of Galicia on the webalbum. It is much greener here for two reasons, number one is rain (it poured on us for 4 hrs two days ago) and reason number two is.... number two. this can be a smelly place.

We miss you all and hope to see you soon.
