"The last and lingering troubadour to whom the bird has sung
That once went singing southward when all the world was young
...
And he sees across a weary land a straggling road in Spain,
Up which a lean and foolish knight forever rides in vain"


G. K. Chesterton

Santiago de Compostela

The walk into the city was in rain and through an unremarkable part of town. The cathedral however was stunning. We made it in time for the midday pilgrims mass and I just sat there trying to absorb the feeling of having finally finished the walk. It felt strangely sad to be in Santiago and no longer on the road, but also a huge relief to be able to think of something other than walking for the first time in 4 months.

Seth and i took the time to remember all of the angels we met on our route and the patient angels we left back home. So many people supported us in so many ways that it felt as if many of you were with us on the Camino. I lit a group candle for everyone and hope that others will get the chance to experience this magical walk across old Spain (am available as a bag carrier if you´re interested!).

Love to everyone at the end of this camino.
