I will be walking into Santiago de Compostela today around 1:00pm (7:00am EST). The final days have been enjoyable (considering my ever-growing blisters and shin splints and Theresa's bad knees). As we have been walking mostly on dirt paths through the woods, it has been really nice. Below is the final elevation map. I will have walked all of phase 7 and the second half of phase 6 from Sarria in about a week.
So excited for you, Cathy! Enjoy Santiago- the old part of the city feels like it is there just for you and all the other pilgrims! You will likely run into people you haven't seen in awhile and what a sweet homecoming it is! The end is so bittersweet, but just the beginning of your opportunity to apply the lessons you've learned on the Camino to "real life"! Bienvenidos, peregrina!
