We’re really here! 40 days and 500 miles and we have the certificates to prove it. This has been an amazing journey and we’ve been very blessed along the way. We’ve met terrific people, had beautiful weather and experienced the best of Spain.
Today started with another beautiful sunrise and a 20 k walk into Santiago.
We stopped first at the holy door that is only open every 10 years. The door leads into the Cathedral behind the alter and then to the resting place of Saint James.
We then made our way to the peregrino office to get our Compostello certificate.
Finally, we explored around the Cathedral.
Tonight we’ll look for a nice restaurant without a dress code to celebrate Tom’s birthday. 🙂
Camino Fun Fact:
The certificate received for walking the final 100 k to Santiago is said to document the forgiveness of all sins. We’re not sure if this is just retroactive or includes future transgressions.
Congrats! What a great accomplishment…500 miles! wow. and great timing! Happy Birthday Tom!
Thanks Rob…and thank you for following us, asking questions and encouraging us along the way.
Love you and look forward to seeing you all soon.
