Today is our last day of walking. We are walking from Pedrouza to Santiago de Compostela. I have mixed feelings today. It's funny this pilgrimage has had an impact on me and others alike. Today I am elated and sad at the same time. People have done things for us that truly touches your heart. The fellowship has been enormous. Today I wished I could have been alone. All along I have wanted to do this for just 1 day and this really is the last opportunity. I have wanted to experience this feeling but decided against it as the camaraderie is also important to me. The walk itself is a rather boring one. We arrived in Santiago and meet up with Sang Kyoung. She has been waiting for us for 5 days to exchange e-mail addresses from her and others alike. She guides to the place where we can pick up our compostela and than to the albergue where we now can enjoy unlimited hot water and stay for as many nights as we wish. We will be staying for 2 nights as we are flying to Germany to stay with a friend of Gary's for 4 days. After that our journey will be taking us to The Netherlands. After securing our beds we are of to do some window shopping. We visit some souvenir shops and all of them are selling laughing witches etc. This seems like an odd item to sell at the end of the Camino and I ask some questions and I am told that Galicia is the birthplace of the witch. I have done some research and will share this story with you in my next blog.
