Hey everyone! I have made it all the way to Santiago, the official end to the Camino. I am however continuing a little farther right to the Coast. The is a town called Fisterra and it had been deemed the "end of the world" since it was at the time what seemed to be the farthest west anyone could travel. Fisterra is an extra 100kms, so about 3 days which is great since my flight down to Morocco is not until next week.
Hiking the Camino has reinforced my belief that life is about the journey and not the destination. After walking 800kms I thought the end would be a great and glorious moment for the Camino but it was just another city and looking back at the trip I realized that was what I was here for not this city. Santiago's famous cathedral seemed especially bland since in the past 2 months I have been in and seen so many churches, abbeys, cathedrals, chapels and monasteries. Haha, but it was still impressive in its own way.
For the first time in 25 days I am not hiking or walking anywhere; I am just relaxing and giving my little feet a well deserved break... until tomorrow.
The photo is hiking down from Manjarin in the mountains towards Ponferrada. I had picked up this great stone with the intention of leaving it at the next Camino marker, but i only made it 100m.
