Santiago

After our lunch in Santiago we walked through the busy city streets to the Cathedral. It was an amazing site to see. So magnificent.

Our first order of business at the Cathedral was to hug the statue of St James and offer a prayer of thanksgiving for blessing our journey. Leaving there we went downstairs to see the crypt containing the silver casket containing the remains of St James and his two disciples Anastasius and Theodore.

Camino Certificate of Completion!

Our final stop at the cathedral was to the pilgrims office. There we turned in our Camino passport and received our official certificate for completing the pilgrimage. We cheered for each other as they stepped out with their certificate in hand.

Thrilled and exhausted we made our way to our hotel. We had a wonderful dinner together celebrating our accomplishment.

It's hard to believe that our pilgrimage is complete. After almost a year of planning, organizing, shopping, walking, we are finished. The walking pilgrimage is finished but we step out into the newness of our lives.
