We left the hotel for a two hour drive to Finisterre which is a rock bound peninsula on the west coast of Galicia, Spain. In early times people believed it was the place for the end of the world. It certainly looks that way when you stand in front of the lighthouse and look out to the beautiful ocean.
It is a tradition for pilgrims to visit and burn their clothes or boots at the of the long journey. Several of us brought things, including someone's boots, to burn and release. It was a beautiful sunny day. We enjoyed our last tour together and then headed back to the hotel for our last meal before most of the pilgrims head home in the morning.
We said our good byes after dinner. Most of our group heads home in the morning. It is difficult to describe all the feelings. We accomplished so much. it's still hard to believe we completed our journey. Thanks for your loving prayers.
The photo with the horizon in the distance does kind of look like the end of the world. It is beautiful but not complete because the there is more we cannot see.
