Santiago: October 19th

We arrived in Santiago too late yesterday to attend the special Pilgrim’s mass so we went today.  We arrived early to get good seats as the church fills up fast.  The highlight was the swinging of the giant incense burner called the Botafumeiro. It’s ironic that it’s so popular with pilgrims because it was originally used to fumigate the sweaty and possibly disease ridden pilgrims.

To wrap up our final post we’d like to thank everyone who provided the help, support, prayers and encouragement that made our journey not only possible but successful. We really loved sharing this with all of you.  Your comments and questions were eagerly anticipated and much appreciated.

Mucha gracias!

Beth & Tom
