Woo hoo! Look at us and our Certificates....



Linda and I were so excited to receive our certificates! Posing on the steps the Catheral and getting ready to celebrate with some good food and wine. Tomorrow, we will all go to the pilgrims mass and the final blessing for all pilgrims.

Arriving in Santiago de Compostela



We saw the first sign of Santigo and I just had to take a picture of Linda and Andrew. We walked quite a way into town until we reached the plaza where all the pilgrims gather to celebrate and get their certificate. We were all so excited!! More pictures to follow....

16k and we are on our way....



The local bread(Pun) truck delivers to the locals daily. I caught this lady picking up her bread as we were walking through Monte do Gozo. A view of Santiago, we are only 2 k to finally arrive!!!!

Melide





























The gentlemen is preparing fresh octopus for anyone who chose to try it. The house was made of old stones, but they added a more modern look with lots of glass and plants. We will be walking 25k tomorrow and rest for the big day on Saturday!
