So today as I woke and did not have to pack to go walking and I began to realize that I actually did it. After breakfast, it was off to mass for the pilgram mass in the Cathedral. As I'm looking for a seat I heard someone say Tim. It was an American Jim from Kansas a 55 year old man with an amazing story. I had been so moved by his Camino journey story I had said to him when I met him on the way that I wanted to see him in Santiago. So it was great to be able to sit beside him in mass.
It was a beautiful mass, at the beginning the mention where some people start and where they are from and of course I heard a reference to Pamplona and Canada. They have a giant incense burner that takes 4 people to work (I have some cool videos of this in action). They don,t use it every day but since it was a special feast day (St John the Baptist) it was in use and do they get this thing moving.
The plan for the rest of the day. chill out, a massage, and a good dinner. I'm staying off my feet.
Thanks to you all for all the support along the way.
Cheers Tim
Hey Tim.. again Congratulations. What a feeling it must have been.... It is definitely a milestone in your life to ever do this... let alone anybody to do this... I would love to hear about in person when you are back. Enjoy the rest of the days and promise yourself a feast of food and wine with a pat on your back.. Massage.. that must be utterly lovely.. I wonder if the masseuse will be a Babhuska.. lol...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! What an amazing journey for you. Enjoy the rest of your time, looking forward to seeing you when you get back.

And Tim.. if you have a chance, why not try visit Porto, Portugal. SO close to Santiago. Porto is the 2nd largest city in Portugal... and one of the oldest European centres and registered as World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
ReplyDeleteWOW Tim!
ReplyDeletecongratulations! Takes a special person to accomplish what you have. You should be very proud!
