Santiago thoughts

October 14, 2014
Santiago de Compostella

We made it. With tears in our eyes, we got to the cathedral.

 
We received our Compostellas. 
We are staying at a ramshackle place for one night. Mass at 7:30 tonight.

We saw our shadows for the first time in a number of days, as we walked into Santiago. 


Thoughts for today.
Accomplishment
Thanksgiving
Hope
Love
It's freakin cold!
If Josephina just speaks a little, or a lot louder, surely I'll understand her Spanish!
No wifi. Perhaps we can post later this afternoon. 

I'll write my thoughts more clearly tomorrow. Today is a jumble of feelings and emotions.
Santiago, atop one of the many ancient buildings that grace the cathedral square. 
My sweet John. He walked El Camino de Santiago in memory of his dad and for the love of his mom. 
I walked El Camino de Santiago to gain a better understanding of myself, a closer relationship with God and to feel a sense of accomplishment.
